Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will be in Las Vegas on Tuesday, speaking to press in the afternoon and collecting campaign contributions in the evening at an event hosted by Donald Trump, who officially endorsed him in February.

Neither event is open to the public.

After speaking in Craig, Colo., early Tuesday morning, Romney plans to arrive in Las Vegas for a press event at Somers Furniture, 6330 Polaris Ave., at 3:30 p.m.

Then, he'll be off to the pricey fundraiser at Trump International Tower. The minimum donation to attend is $2,500. A VIP reception with Romney costs $10,000.
