Sheldon Adelson has pledged to donate millions and millions to Pro-Romney Super PACs is 'hosting' a 'financial event' at Adelson's casino, The Venetian in Las Vegas.
Initially, the Adelson 'financial event' was a Fundraiser.
The Las Vegas Review Journal reported:
[Paul] Ryan, a congressman from Wisconsin, will attend a private fundraising event at The Venetian, which is owned by Sheldon Adelson. The Sands Corp. chief is a generous GOP donor who already has contributed $10 million to a political action committee, Restore Our Future, supporting Romney's campaign.
But when the Romney camp couldn't explain why they were barring the media from a Fundraiser that was not being held at a private home, they decided the event wasn't really a fundraiser after all.
A Romney aide who was not authorized to speak for the record said
The event in Las Vegas is not a fundraiser but a "finance event," and therefore closed to reporters. The aide would not say what the distinction is between the two, declining to say whether the campaign is collecting checks at the event.
"Nobody paid to come to tonight's event," the aide clarified later, saying it is a "Nevada Finance Leadership Event." The aide would not say who would be in attendance or what criteria were used to determine who would be invited.
The alleged "Nevada Finance Leadership Event" does not show up on Nevada's website,

Paul Ryan attended two Denver-area fundraisers on Monday night where media coverage also was prohibited.
ROMNEY: I think it’s fine to talk about those things [income inequality] in quiet rooms and discussions about tax policy and the like.
ROMNEY: "I believe that the issue of settlements [Foreign Policy] is something which should be discussed in private by the American President and our allies. When we show diplomatic distance between ourselves and our ally, I think we encourage people who oppose that relationship to seek other means to achieve their ends."
Romney/Ryan: Secret Policy Plans, Secret Taxes, Secret Meetings ... hmmm ... what's up with Romney and Ryan hiding from the American People?
I am really beginning to think Romney and Ryan hate the American people.
