Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo has proclaimed today “Ronald Reagan Day,” honoring the former president’s rise from entertainer to union leader, California governor, and U.S. president.

Lombardo noted Reagan’s historic 1984 landslide victory, winning 49 of 50 states — a record unmatched in presidential elections.

Reagan had long ties to Las Vegas and Nevada, first visiting in the 1950s as a nightclub headliner at venues such as the Frontier. The state strongly backed him in 1980 and 1984, and he returned often as president for rallies and fundraisers, including events for Sen. Paul Laxalt.

Known for blending policy with showmanship, Reagan joked about “playing Las Vegas” and maintained close relationships with entertainers like Wayne Newton, reinforcing his lasting popularity in Nevada.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Reagan!
