Fresh from a great trip to Alaska, Rachel is back in the lower 48 today, running around Las Vegas along with Kent Jones. Rachel has some great interviews coming your way, including a sit-down with Senator Harry Reid. And we're holding out hope she'll get to talk to the elusive Sharron Angle.
The Rachel Maddow Show comes to you live tonight from the Strip, where the only sin we're committing is caring too darn much about politics. See you at 9p Eastern!

I love this Tour de Maddow. A Sharon Angle interview would be completely EPIC, if such a thing happens I'll make sure to pop some popcorn, or perhaps some wine.
Any chance you guys will swing through NY State (aside form the city). There's the awesome Kirsten Gillibrand, Cuomo and perhaps even Paladino.
Or on up here to Portland? Defazzio is up for re-election you know ;-) Maybe Art Robinson can do his old man curmudgeon impersonation again on your show!
I don't know if there is enough booze to sit through another Robinson fiasco :)
Lol omg I know right? I laughed so freeeeeeeaking hard at that interview. I was in tears by the end of it. I swear if I could do a mock up of the man I would've put a top hat on him and had him shriek "a rinky dinky doo! I hate you!" Also he would have to have Nixon-jowls...cause ya know =)
I second the Portland trip. Maybe Rachel can interview Art Robinson again, ha ha.
I love that TRMS is touring around America, talking to voters and candidates. It's so exciting! i can't wait for tonight's episode.
and I just keep missing her by that much! We were just in Las Vegas this weekend, though nowhere near the strip. ah, well.
MSNBC must have gotten some group rates, Morning Joe and Willie have been in NV this past week as well... ;o)
The big point I would like Rachel to make while in Nevada is this.
Why are Nevadans especially out of work? Giving the credit to Harry Reid is like giving the credit to a rooster for making the sun come up. The reason is the state economy depends on gambling. Casinos and related business have no customers, so they had to let their staff go. Why are there no customers? Because in slow economic times people have no spare money for gambling. In other words, slow economic times in the other 49 states are hurting Nevada extra hard. When good times return, Nevada will be unusually flush. It is a consequence of Nevada putting its eggs in the gambling basket, not anything the senator from Nevada did.
Where on the strip?! I'm totally a UNLV student and will be halting all studies to come watch this!
I will be there too! Please, please, please tell me where and when!
Same here--2 of us want to see you live. Where on the Strip?
I want to know where on the Strip also! This would be worth skipping practice for!
LOL Sticky I was wondering the same thing!
Ditto. I want to show up to the taping as well. Where will it be?
Rachel, hope your crew are wearing your jogging suits because she is going to take off running when she sees you. Maybe if you don't use floride toothpaste until after the interview, she'll be more incline to speak. Best of luck! Don't forget to floss.
Right on Roedy. Loved the rooster comparison.... Harry had to be okay during his career (not Mr. personality though) or he would have been booted long ago. Angle is frightening at least, and dangerous at the worst with her second amendment crap. I have resorted to fast forwarding her lately.
Loved the blue sneakers Rachel! Thanks for making my entire GOTV month in Vegas worthwhile. Meeting you in airport this morning and getting a chance to say hi to one of my heroes was by far the best moment of my work here. I hope you get a chance to share a juice box with Sharron.
Today the Review Journal reports that Las
Vegas is America's dumbest city. If an
elected representative is expected to mirror the views of his or her
constituents, then Sharon Angle is the perfect candidate. Besides, why shouldn't the intellectually challenged have their opinions heard in Congress?
Sharon Angle interview??? Are you sure she has the vocabulary for a sit-down with Rach?
I hope you do get to talk to Angle. I found the Joe Miller interview extremely telling. Let's see what we can get out of the 1st Asian Nevadan Senator ???? Whatever. I just want her to implode. Then we don't have to hear her claptrap.
rachael oh Rachel where 4 arent though rachel.? Please let me know where on the strip and we'll be there. Please send email with details
My sister was at her taping in Anchorage last night. I can't let her "one up" me!
Why don't people push Sharron Angle about the fact that she says she doesn't want to pay any health care bills related to obstetrics, because she is isn't going to have any more kids AND also says that every teenage rape victim who gets pregnant should give birth and "make lemonade out of a lemon situation." How is the pregnant teenager supposed to pay her obstetrics bill--the proverbial lemonade stand??
Vegas Baby! Woohoo!!!
Hi Rachael...I'm currently watching your show real time in Vegas and I gotta know...why did I see you driving North on the Strip doing an incar interview with Jon Ralston, then end up talking to him in the desert ( couldn't quite figure out exactly where ) and then end up on set at...let me see...Caesars Palace?? Just asking? Anyway...YOU GO GIRL!!
Rachel, I just finished watching your show in San Diego. Loved the attempt to see Sharron Angle and Harry Reid's suggestion of how to get in to get an interview. Can you imagine posing as Billo the Clown?
I heard your sign-off and I think you referring to being tired but, I think you looked especially beautiful. Could be campaign season agrees with you, huh?
