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.

To paraphrase a legend, you should never say bad things about the dead, only good.
Sheldon Adelson is dead. Good.
Trump donor. Like, 100 million at a time. But I don’t know if they stayed friends.
MJA,
I’ll never forget that photo of a grossly obese Chris Christie
slumped forward in a chair, hands clasped talking to Adelson.
Reminded me of teenager groveling for a part time job after school.
Chris Chrispy Creme is a heart attack looking for a place to happen.
Extirpates
Won’t be soon enough.
This guy flew an American traitor on his private jet to Israel. Fuck him.
He never wavered like the Koch Bros. He loved the country and knew the bad turn it was taking. Another loss we didn’t need right now.
