The southern headquarters for both the state GOP and the Gibbons administration - the Venetian - will be the site Thursday of an event headlined by the Chinese ambassador and Gov. Jim Gibbons, with Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, Las Vegas Sands executive Bill Weidner and a U.S. Chamber of Commerce official slated to speak. The event is sponsored by the Las Vegas Chamber, the Las Vegas Sands and the U.S. Chamber. That's strange because the local chamber pulled out of the national group years ago because of the latter's support of Yucca Mountain. Bizarre that the governor would be co-hosted by a pro-Yucca group two days after he skipped that D.C. dump hearing. Or that the two chambers are back in bed. Maybe the Sands have shifted.
