Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Hundreds gathered at Orr Middle School on Friday for an appearance by First Lady Michelle Obama.

The First Lady urged voters to head to the polls early to re-elect the President and emphasized some of her husband's plan for the next four years.

Admission to see Michelle Obama on Friday was free, but tickets were required. A campaign spokesperson said all of those tickets were distributed by Thursday afternoon.

President Obama was in town on Wednesday for a rally at Doolittle Park. 

Earlier in the week, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan also held a rally in Southern Nevada. Mitt Romney's son, Craig, is scheduled to appear at two local campaign offices Friday.
