Holder hits the clubs in Vegas

By Eric Zimmermann - 10/19/09 12:34 PM ET

Attorney General Eric Holder went clubbing this weekend in Las Vegas.

In town to give a speech to the Anti-Defamation League, Holder somehow made his way to the nightclub "Pure" at Caesars Palace on Saturday night.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Vegas "spent his 90-minute stay at Pure on the left side of the stage with a group of eight, including Secret Service, FBI and aides."

Holder reportedly had "heard of the night club and wnted to check it out."

Pure was raided by the IRS 18 months ago, and the investigation is ongoing.
