The ex-president was at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill with a large group that included Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid and Steve Bing, the Hollywood film and music producer who has been a major Democratic donor and FOB, Friend of Bill, over the years.

Clinton was reportedly in town to attend a fundraiser at the Springs Preserve for Reid, who is laying the groundwork for a run for governor.

Clinton posed for photos with restaurant staffers before joining his group for a dinner that included steaks, scallops, chili rellenos and wine.

Also spotted among the group: Caesars Palace president Gary Selesner, developer and Democratic donor Steve Cloobeck and his wife Chantal, and nightclub executive Marklen Kennedy.
