President Trump came to Las Vegas on Saturday promising to discuss his campaign vow to eliminate taxes on tips, but he spent most of his rally talking up his election victory and his first week back in office. The stated topic of the speech signaled to allies in Congress the importance of the tax policy but stopped well short of offering details for making the slogan a reality. Instead, Trump spent most of his 40 minutes speaking to roughly 1,000 supporters in a casino ballroom lauding his win in November, mocking former President Biden’s administration and touting his torrent of executive actions since taking office.

President Donald Trump returned to Las Vegas on Saturday for his first rally since retaking the presidency, touting his first week in office and describing his return to the White House as “liberation day.” Speaking to a crowd of roughly 2,000 people at the Circa Resort & Casino in downtown Las Vegas, Trump championed his proposal to end taxes on tipped wages, his pardoning of criminal defendants from the Jan. 6 insurrection and his efforts to bring prosperity back to America.

President Donald Trump returned to Las Vegas to deliver on one of his key campaign promises. Trump successfully pushed for the elimination of taxes on tips, a move aimed at benefiting workers in the service industry. The new policy, which removes the federal tax burden on gratuities, is seen as a significant win for waitstaff, bartenders, and other tip-dependent workers, who have long argued that tipping should remain free from additional taxation. This change is part of Trump’s broader commitment to reducing the financial strain on middle and lower-income Americans, especially in sectors reliant on customer tips.
