Donald Trump will make a "major announcement" tomorrow in Las Vegas regarding the presidential campaign.

The real estate developer and reality TV star is set to make his statement Thursday at 12:30 p.m. local time at the Trump International Hotel and Tower, according to a media alert sent from his office.

Nevada holds GOP presidential caucuses on Saturday.

Trump told ABC News yesterday that he would make an endorsement in the GOP race "in a very short time." He has been keeping his options open for a third-party bid, but told ABC's George Stephanopoulos that he'd "rather endorse a great candidate that's going to do a great job and win the election and become a great president."

Trump caused a stir in the GOP race last year when he flirted with a campaign of his own. He decided against it, citing his "passion" for business. The 12th season of his show, The Apprentice, resumes Feb. 19.
