Hillary Clinton took a trip to Sin City, but she wasn't there to play a round of poker.
Instead, the 67-year-old Democratic presidential candidate visited Las Vegas to host a surprise rally on the eve before the highly-anticipated first round of democratic debates taking place Tuesday night. While a rally is commonplace for a seasoned Washingtonian like the former Secretary of State, it was where the rally was held that really stirred the political pot.
Clinton joined roughly 500 Culinary Union workers outside the Trump International Hotel to air some grievances about her presidential opponent and his remarks toward immigrants and women—a bold move in support of an organization that has nearly 55,000 members potential voters.
"Some people think Trump is entertaining, but it is not entertaining to insult immigrants and women," Clinton said.

Clinton did not back down, following with another statement in support of the workers lobbying to organize at the hotel.
"If you are going to run for president, then represent all of the people of the United States," she said, clearly addressing Trump and his marginalizing political statements. "I wanted to come by to lend my voice to all yours and I wish you well in these efforts."

Clinton is leaving no stone unturned as she approaches her first Democratic debate in seven years—particularly when it comes to calling out The Donald. She's humorously jabbed at him on Saturday Night Live while flexing her own charismatic muscles.
While she's focused on the billionaire real estate mogul, her most immediate test comes Tuesday night as she will have to face-off for the first time against Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee, and Jim Webb.
