Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama takes a photo with Barry Dakake, the head chef for N9NE steakhouse at the Palms, on Friday after delivering his food to the Illinois senator in Las Vegas.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her camp ate a little higher off the hog than her rival Barack Obama during their week of campaigning in Las Vegas.>p?
Both campaign camps called N9NE Steakhouse at the Palms minutes apart Friday for a food delivery.
Chef Barry Dakake and Jenna Morton, wife of N9NE co-owner Michael Morton, delivered around $200 worth of food, including two Kobe burgers, two organic chicken sandwiches and one order of Dover sole, to Obama in a conference room at the Las Vegas Signature Terminal.
The Clintons' tab came to $1,530 and included entrees of nine steaks, three chicken, three salmon and three Maine scallops, two lobster pappardelle, salads, sashimi, rock shrimp, and various side dishes.
The Clintons, who spent the week in a Bellagio villa, also had a big order delivered from N9NE on Monday.
Right out of “Animal Farm”. Just a taste of things to come if either of these socialists win the Presidency.
“The Clintons, who spent the week in a Bellagio villa...”
Hmmm, what’s that run a night?
Exactly.
these are the ‘little people’ crowds.
Hey, how’s it going?
Sorry I missed you at the game.
Everybody’s gotta eat, but the key question is, what kind of tip did the Clintons leave?
Yep, they aren’t going to lower their standards for themselves; just for everyone else.
Was down at Ropewalk munching on a Gipper burger yesterday, thinking of heading to WCBM’s broadcast there on his birthday.
Hell they were lucky if she paid the bill.

No wonder I was reading about how her campaign has run through so much money. People talk about the cost of TV ads, but the “little” stuff adds up quickly.
Reservations:
The Villas are available on a very limited basis and are reserved by invitation only.
...and to think they had to call out for room service...
The menu looks good. (It’d better, at those prices.)
The candidates? N9NE of the above.
Well, I’m sure the clintonistas can’t do without those important “Automatic drapery and sheer controls.”
Just taking things away from us for the ‘common good’.
Giggle. So true, so true.
Why in heaven’s name do you need 5 bathrooms in a 2 bedroom villa? Three I can understand. I’m sure Huma needs her own.
Take a look at the N9NE website..looks like a Bill Clinton type place.
Party of the rich and bitch. Some pigs are just more equal than others and have different rules.
All those drones out there who think Osbama is different..he orders off the same menu.
If Steve Wynn (Republican) were still running the Belagio, you gotta wonder if he’d even allow hillah onto the property.
Or 7 bathrooms in the 3 bdrm. version.
Well, nothing if they got the "union labor discount". We mere mortals would probably pay upwards of $2,000/night. But Hillary is one of the People Who Matter, so her security and comfort come first. ;)
Probably his-and-hers for the master suite, his-and-hers for the second bedroom suite, and a powder room for any guests you invite in.
“We mere mortals would probably pay upwards of $2,000/night.”
Ha. That’s why I’ll be staying at The Orleans. $65/night.
I suspect the Bellagio villa is one of those places where your money isn't any good.
Probably comped.
“Probably comped.”
Nice campaign contribution.
Vegas money is different from real world money.
where do the secret service stay that have to accompany the ex-president? where do they eat while on duty? Do they get to eat some of this grub that the Clintons are ordering?
Just askin....
When I was in East Berlin in the mid-1980’s, I bought a ton of “OstMarks” (the commie currency) on the black market at 14:1, which made me a “wealthy” man. The people of East Berlin had nothing. The waiting list for a lousy gray Trabant car was 20 months and cost 6 months’ salary for a typical worker. Meanwhile I heard that party members got red or blue ones anytime they wanted. Also everywhere you went the food was horrible, cabbage and beets or some such crap. When I got my ostmarks I went with my friends to the TeleCafe, the rotating restaurant in Berlin’s huge TV tower. Up there, it was Communist party elites only, and the menu included huge steaks, lobsters and caviar, and wines and liquors from around the world. We feasted like kings until people started whispering and we called it a night. But the experience stuck with me, as a direct illustration of the fraud that is Socialism. This story brings it all back home. Clinton and Obama would have been right at home noshing with those East German politburo bigshots. Their “working man’s” propaganda is a bunch of B.S.
All of that with “a duel fireplace”, too. I hope the duelists are good shots — unless it’s the Clintons they “accidentally” shoot.
