It means travel around to a list of usual places to visit - doctors "make rounds" or "do rounds" in hospitals when they go room to room to visit the paitents.

It's a phrase to mean spending time with, or the required amount of time with, something or someone, suggesting a regular or scheduled occurrence, or necessary duty. It may come from doing the rounds of a hospital ward with a senior doctor, or doing a police beat etc.
Anyway, doing the rounds with the press means a regular meeting with the press, rather like the whitehouse spokesperson would do, for example.

The rounds mean the usual places to hangout or visit. To make the rounds means to go where the press goes--bars, usually--and talk with those you know, have heard of, or would like to meet...If you go away from home for a long time and return, you can say you're making the rounds when you stop by and visit or talk with all your friends, visit your favorite places, etc.

The sentence is from the lyrics of a few musical, which i am going to't undergo in ideas on the instant. The quote is actual "money makes the international bypass 'round." I take it the confusion is the information "'round" a moderate contraction for the sake of the cadence of the music. may it make extra experience in case you talked about "money makes the international bypass round?". As I keep in mind the scene in the musical, the music is being sung by using a "gold digging" woman (one whose significant pastime in a guy is his wealth). She is explaining herself by using asserting that she is justified in her really unmarried minded aproach to existence because money actual makes the earth revolve. not precisely actually real, yet actual has some metaphorical truth. wish that enables.

Make the Rounds - means he had to go around and talk to all the press.
Ususally used when someone has to mingle with people. Like when you enter a party and you have to make the rounds... you have to go in and greet people.

It sounds like it refers to when a person has to do numerous interviews with many reports from a variety of publications, such as when an actor has a new movie coming out, so they tour different cities and meet many, many press members while promoting the film.

Guards who actually "guard" buildings have to travel "around" the building, and have to stop at certain places to check security. This is called "making the rounds".
The term has been expanded to include anyone who is traveling around, doing things which are a little predictable and repetitive.

Walking around with them, taking them around.
For example - doctor's make rounds when they visit patients.

It means going to and talking to each one. It's typical US idiom.
