Sheldon Adelson Cashes His Chips At 87

Press Release From Las Vegas Sands Corp.

Our founder and visionary leader, Sheldon G. Adelson, passed away last night at the age of 87 from complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.  Born to immigrant parents and raised in a poor section of Boston, Mr. Adelson went from a teenager selling newspapers on a street corner to becoming one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs.

His achievements in the integrated resort and hospitality industry are well-documented.  In Las Vegas, Macao and Singapore, Mr. Adelson’s vision for integrated resorts transformed the industry, changed the trajectory of the company he founded, and reimagined tourism in each of those markets.  His impact on the industry will be everlasting.

Mr. Adelson was the first employee of Las Vegas Sands – “Team Member Number One” he liked to say.  Today, more than 50,000 Sands team members have Dr. Adelson and the entire Adelson family in their thoughts and prayers and are grateful to have had their lives touched by a true force of nature.

  1. MJA,
    I’ll never forget that photo of a grossly obese Chris Christie
    slumped forward in a chair, hands clasped talking to Adelson.
