Trump has received endorsements from five other much smaller papers throughout the United States including including the Santa Barbara News-Press of Santa Barbara, California and the St. Joseph News-Press , St Joseph Missouri.
The Las Vegas Review Journal has the largest circulation of any newspaper that has so far endorsed Trump with 200,000 and countless more online.
The paper described Trump as the answer to American "frustration and disillusionment today with the political institutions that govern the nation."
"They clamor for an alternative to the incestuous and pernicious atmosphere dominating the capital," the editorial board wrote. "They see a vast array of lobbyists, elected officials and entrenched interests manipulating the levers of power for their own enrichment at the expense of ordinary citizens."
Adelson is widely believed to have contributed to the Trump campaign.
