Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson has died at the age of 87.
Adelson died on Monday night after complications from his treatment for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Las Vegas Sands said in a statement regarding the death of the company’s chairman and chief executive officer.
“It is with unbearable pain that I announce the death of my husband, Sheldon G. Adelson, of complications from a long illness,” his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, said in a Tuesday statement provided by Las Vegas Sands to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “To me — as to his children, grandchildren, and his legions of friends and admirers, employees and colleagues — he is utterly irreplaceable.”
Adelson served as the chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands after founding the company in 1988. Under his leadership, the model it pioneered, combining hotel casinos and convention centers, made him and his family one of the world’s wealthiest families. His casino ventures stretch from Las Vegas to Macau, China.
Adelson, who was raised by immigrant parents in a poor section of Boston in the 1930s, entered the business world at 12 years old when he borrowed money from his uncle to buy a newspaper corner.
Even as his company took a hit amid the coronavirus pandemic, Las Vegas Sands Corp. continued to provide full pay and benefits to all of its employees.
In addition to his conservative values, Adelson was also an ardent supporter of Israel, which is the birthplace of his wife. A funeral will be held there, while a memorial service will also be held in Las Vegas at a later date.

They say he was a great, compassionate man.
May he rest in peace.
The good news continues...
Great man- R.I. P.
Yes, with Rush who could go any day as well....our side is losing its best voices and pockets.
Hannity is pale and lacks Limbaugh’s intellect. Tik-Tock
The only one who comes close to Rush is Andrew Wilkow on Sirus/XM.
The left wants us silenced....and it is getting it both naturally and artificially.
RIP Sheldon.
In other words, COVID.
I think he helped bring a lot of Jews from Ecuador. We lived in a condo next to a new Jewish temple and met the neighbors in our condo section. We discovered that the condos were used as temporary housing for them bye the Jews helping to get them out when they were being badly persecuted. I saw a Rolls Royce there a few times and figured it was Adelson’s, and that most of the money probably came from him. I’ve never heard anything said about any of that here. This was a decade ago. I prayed a lot for them.

When Rush goes (which I fervently hope won’t be for a long time) we’ll have reached our nadir.
If all the guest hosts that Rush uses I like Mark Steyn the best.
But I don’t know anything about Wilkow.
Images of the Venetian casino. I have never been there but it looks like every palace and then some.

It is a nice place. Visited and stayed there years ago.
Do they have Venetian blinds on every window? : )
