Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) has shelled out thousands of dollars in campaign cash this year at luxury restaurants and hotels located in major cities across the United States, records show.

Rosen, who on the 2024 campaign trail has been running on her working-class roots to earn support, is facing scrutiny from Republicans for purportedly being "out of touch" with voters while boosting President Joe Biden's big government agenda. Between January and June, the Nevada Democrat's reelection campaign dropped roughly $12,500 in the likes of New York City, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles at swanky resort-style hotels and fine dining establishments, according to campaign finance disclosures reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

"This type of lavish spending actually makes up a significant portion of the distrust and alienation that we see between Washington, D.C., and the average American citizen," Kendra Arnold, head of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, an ethics watchdog, said. "The crux of this is that elected officials are making rules for people to live by in everyday life and suspicion can’t help but be roused if they increasingly choose to engage in elitist activities."

Arnold said it's fair for the public to raise concerns over campaign committee spending habits, given federal law holds they are not allowed to use funds for the "personal use" of candidates. There's no evidence the Rosen payments necessarily run afoul of the law. Some are earmarked for "fundraising," which is a common designation for federal campaigns as they seek to build donor support around election season.

One such payment totaling roughly $5,600 was made on June 12 for "catering" and "fundraising" to Manhattan's Le Bernardin, a French restaurant that is one of only a handful of three-Michelin star restaurants in New York City and was rated in 2023 by critics as the 44th best restaurant in the world. Le Bernardin, which has been said to cater to the "super rich," was described in a glowing New York Times review as having at least four sommeliers, also known as trained wine experts, present on the floor at all times.

Rosen's campaign also made two payments, which combined come to $799, in February and May for "meals" at the Italian restaurant Sinatra in Las Vegas, according to disclosures. The restaurant notably offers a $59 lobster risotto, $77 beef tenderloin, and $85 bone-in rib-eye steak, according to its menu.

The Sinatra, which boasts "chandeliers, cream-colored banquettes, classical statuary and garden views," is located in the five-star Wynn Encore Casino and Resort. Rosen's campaign dropped $80 in May for "travel" at the Wynn.

Upon the Washington Examiner contacting Rosen's campaign, Nevada State Democratic Party spokeswoman Johanna Warshaw replied, "This is a desperate and transparent attempt to distract from Sam Brown's scam PAC that spent less than 2 percent of its funds on the candidates it was allegedly created to support — instead being used to pay off Brown's failed campaign debts and benefit himself."

Warshaw was referring to Sam Brown, a Republican Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and is running against Rosen. CNN reported last week that Brown's Duty First PAC, which was formed to "help elect Republicans," gave less than 7% of its funds to aligned candidates. Instead, the political action committee has "mostly" been used to pay off Brown's debts in connection to his failed 2022 GOP primary Nevada Senate bid against the state's former attorney general, Adam Laxalt, who lost in the general election to Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV).

Then there's Nobu in Dallas, where on April 27 Rosen's campaign spent $281.89, disclosures show. The Japanese restaurant charges $200 for a "premium Omakase tasting menu," as well as $1,890 for a bottle of Chateau d’Yquem French wine. It is located in Hotel Crescent Court, a four-star luxury spa and hotel that houses the Crescent Club, dubbed the "most prestigious social club" in Dallas, and a chamber for cryotherapy, a treatment involving people standing in freezing or near-freezing air temperatures to allegedly improve mental and physical health.

Moreover, on April 27 Rosen's campaign spent $1,025 for "travel" at "Crescent Court Lodge," while listing the same address in disclosures as Hotel Crescent Court.

Other recent dining-related payments from the Rosen campaign included over $2,100 in May for "fundraising" and "catering" to Chicago's East Bank Club, a "ridiculously expensive" fitness club that offers catering for private events, and $634.50 in June to Joselito Casa de Comidas, a Washington, D.C., Spanish restaurant that prides itself on being "not your topical topic tapas but something more fun and adventurous with our minds always in our culture when creating our dishes."

“To Nevadans, these revelations further confirm what we’ve known all along: Sen. Rosen is an elitist politician using her status to fund her opulent lifestyle," Richard Hernandez, a campaign spokesman for Brown, told the Washington Examiner.

As far as other hotels, the Rosen campaign spent $913 back in March at the Kimpton George Hotel, a four-star "boutique" hotel in Capitol Hill with "daily wine hour and free tastings," according to disclosures and Oyster.com, a travel website.

Between February and March, the senator's committee spent over $1,100 at the Andaz West Hollywood hotel, which "serves as an eclectic gateway to Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and other fashionable neighborhoods in the greater Los Angeles area" and has an "open and heated year-round" rooftop pool, according to disclosures and the hotel's website.

Meanwhile, on June 8 Rosen's campaign spent $1,800 on "valet services" in Los Angeles with a company called Crystal Valet Parking Services and roughly $14,300 from April to June with Savoya, an "elevated black car service" company connecting travelers to chauffeurs, records show.

The Nevada Senate seat that Rosen hopes to retain in 2024 leans blue, according to the Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan elections tracker. But Brown is not the only Republican vying for it.

Other Republicans looking to take on Rosen include Jeff Gunter, the former U.S. ambassador to Iceland under the Trump administration, and Tony Grady, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel. Former Nevada Secretary of State hopeful Jim Marchant, who served in the state's Assembly, unveiled a Senate bid in May.
