The Democrat faithful hit the casinos and restrooms instead of listening to late presidential entrant Deval Patrick in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Shocking evidence shows Patrick playing to a virtually empty hall, his voice echoing throughout the cavernous room.
Jennifer Medina of the New York Times tweeted a photo of the hall as Patrick spoke:
The, er, crowd for @DevalPatrick tonight. pic.twitter.com/ecdht0PSGY

Laura Krantz of the Boston Globe shared video:
Last night @DevalPatrick addressed a nearly empty hall of @nvdems. The people who stayed liked him, they said they wished he had run from the beginning. pic.twitter.com/NEX3TWPIRF

Krantz’s video panned the room, showing an overwhelming amount of empty seats as Patrick addressed the handful of people.
Here’s a more charitable angle via CNN:
Deval Patrick is the last candidate to speak at the First in the West event here in Las Vegas.

Patrick, a current executive at Bain Capital, declared his candidacy for president this week.
