With just 4.2 percent of precincts reporting as of 7:43 p.m. EST, Sanders had 44.7 percent of the vote, with Joe Biden (D) falling into a distant second with 19.5 percent support and Pete Buttigieg (D) in third with 15.6 percent, according to NBC News.
According to the New York Times, Sanders performed well among workers in Las Vegas, despite a bitter battle with the Culinary Union, which ultimately refrained from endorsing a specific Democrat candidate:
Bernie Sanders appeared to be performing well at caucus sites for casino workers on the Las Vegas Strip. Mr. Sanders won precincts at the Bellagio and the Wynn, boosting him in sites filled with members of a labor union that has opposed his stance on health care.
At the Bellagio, Mr. Sanders received 32 county delegates and Biden received 19; at the Wynn, Mr. Sanders earned six while Mr. Biden earned three. No other candidates were declared viable at either of those two sites.
