A “private reception” for Kyle Rittenhouse at the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian has been canceled.
Rittenhouse advertised the event in a tweet on Sunday. According to the tweet, the reception was set to take place Wednesday at the Oak Room Whiskey and Tequila Bar at the Grand Canal Shoppes in conjunction with this week’s Shooting, Hunting and Outdoors Trade Show at The Venetian Expo.
However, a spokesperson for the Grand Canal Shoppes told the Review-Journal in an email Wednesday, “Our tenant informed us that they have canceled the event. We do not speak on behalf of our tenants.”
WOKE ! – DRINK !
Dudley Brown, president of the National Association for Gun Rights, wrote in a tweet Tuesday that the event was canceled because the Oak Room “was bending to the Woke Marxists.”
The Venetian’s Twitter feed quickly filled with requests to cancel Rittenhouse’s visit after it was announced.
“If you host Rittenhouse, I will never step foot in your hotel again,” warned one of several would-be customers.
Las Vegas became the site of the nation’s largest mass shooting by an individual in 2017 when a gunman fatally shot 59 victims from his 32nd-floor hotel room for unclear reasons. More than 500 people were injured.
Last week Conroe Brewery in Texas cancelled the “Rally Against Censorship” featuring Kyle Rittenhouse.
