Did a search on Google. There is a "William Bennett" who has been a figure in the gambling industry in Vegas since the 1960's.

Different guy. Bill Bennett is the man who started Circus Circus and expanded it to Circus Circus Enterprises, which recently changed its name to Mandaley Resort Group. They own CC, Manadaly Bay, Excalibur, the Luxor, and a few others.

He died recently, and is credited as the man who helped Vegas become more "family friendly" by catering to middle class families and parents with children.

I think this is a different William Bennett than the one who wrote ''The Book of Virtues''.

Hmmm. YOu reckon Jonathan Alter, in his zeal to 'get something' on William Bennett picked up info about the WRONG ONE? That would be just TOO sweet!
