The Las Vegas Review-Journal confirms Obama’s visit to Las Vegas on Friday:
Nevada is a battleground state and Obama needs to boost the Democratic Party before the 2016 election where voters will determine who will succeed Obama in the White House. At this point former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is leading the pack even before announcing whether she’s running.
Nevada reporter Jon Ralston suggests the event will be at a local high school:
Hearing POTUS coming to Vegas on Friday for speech at Del Sol High School. I wonder what the topic could possibly be at DEL SOL high school.

UPDATE: The Washington Post now says the immigration announcement is coming Thursday; while a Las Vegas rally will be held on Friday.
