House Republicans chose Las Vegas as the place to stage their first public field hearing touting the benefits of the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, the fiscal year 2026 federal budget signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4.

Rep. Aaron Bean (R-Fla.) said that the bill “was born here” after a conversation between Trump and a server galvanized the presidential candidate to support an old idea: no taxes on the first $25,000 earned in tips.
