The Democratic Presidential Debate drew about 2,000 people to the UNLV Cox Pavilion, but this was not the only crowded place on campus.
The UNLV Student Union’s second floor was filled with students, faculty and democratic parties. Each presidential candidate’s staff members occupied one room each making a total of seven rooms on the second floor full from 7:30 a.m. – 10:30 p.m. on Thursday night. The Student Union ballrooms and balcony were also occupied by the Presidential Caucus Watch Party.
The restaurants in the student union made more revenue then usual because of the traffic coming in and out during the day. When the debate was over, the union quickly cleared leaving only empty water bottles and food wrappers.
By 10 p.m. the building fell silent as if nothing had ever happened.
