Nevada GOP chairman names Las Vegas as capital at Republican National Convention

What is the capital of Nevada? It's certainly not Las Vegas.

Depends on who you ask though. Nevada GOP Chairman Michael McDonald called Las Vegas the capital during the roll call at the Republican National Convention Tuesday afternoon.

Former Las Vegas resident Jimmy Kimmel even weighed in on the flub. He called McDonald the "Just for Men customer-delegate representing Nevada" and reminded him that the capital is Carson City.

Even with the wrong capital named during the roll call, Donald Trump got enough delegates in Cleveland to make him the Republican nominee for president.
