Vegas is about to get a heaping helping of Minnesota politics.

Three local politicians, State Sen. Tarryl Clark, Sen. Al Franken and Rep. Michele Bachmann are heading south this weekend to speak at blogger conferences in Sin City.

Bachmann is slated to speak this evening to RightOnline, a conservative blogger summit hosted by Americans for Prosperity.

Tomorrow, Clark and Franken will give keynote speeches at the closing session of Netroots Nation, an annual gathering of liberal bloggers. Franken, who is headlining the last session, has made technology and Internet-related issues a prominent part of his tenure in the Senate so far.

Franken is using the opportunity to raise money, through a money bomb, for his leadership PAC.
