He know about the convention aspect. I have a tale to tell. Around 3 years ago adelson and his execs gave themselves a $115 million bonus for getting the financing secured for the company that was buying the ventian mall and 3 weeks later on Thanksgiving the swing and grave shifts didn't get any turkey to eat in the employee dining room because it ran out of turkey. The sign put up in the e.d.r. said, due to unforseen circumstances we have run out of turkey. That was up at 3pm on Thanksgiving day. They were spending the money on leasing a Rolls and buy his new bomb proof Mercedes.

Nice to see the roosters coming home to roost for the man.

You shall reap what you sow. And so he is, wonder how he feels about bush and the rest of his republican buddies now; course if he thinks the way some of the minions of bush do on this board, he's still thinking this is all Monica Lewinskis fault.

LOL

Idiots

If the Venetian/Palazzo weren't there, then another casino group would be so don't act as if they save the lives of the residents of Nevada.

Adelson is morally bankrupt ans soon will be financially as well.

How much tax revenue does LVS provide Nevada?

Guess it is just easy to be bitter and envious than actually look at reality...

And to "Dave"... really? Are we still antisemitic in 2008? REALLY? Go burn.

You just better hope that he last all four years, because if u ask me... he will be our first black president, yes, but he will also be our first impeached black president. That would make 2 in a row for you democrats...lol And a pretty bad track record overall when you throw in Carter.

Traval wrote on October 29, 2008 11:20 AM: Adelson and or Sands Corp isnt going anywhere:

"It doesn't impact the company directly and it doesn't impact the wherewithal of the company," Deutsche Bank gaming analyst Bill Lerner said of the decline in the value of Adelson's net worth. "We suspect the Adelson family has additional liquidity that we would anticipate being used in part to aid the equity in Las Vegas Sands going forward."

He's down but certainly not out. If you hippies commenting below would STOP bit**** and moaning and instead open your eyes and realize that right now the getting is good you probably wouldn't be such buzz kills.

I second your opinion on Adelson. I recall when he refused to pay numerous contractors when the 1st. tower went up and then said he owned the public sidewalk in front of the casino.

Buffett is a highly respected man who is giving all ( except a few million for his children I believe ) of his money to charity.

Adelson needs to have security guards around him with Uzi's... Wonder why??
