Adelson dies, how much does that hurt UNLV?

[thedude15]

Didn't he donate some money to UNLV (or was that a different casino guy). I mean I get he wasn't dumping an extreme amount of money but losing any uber rich donor/potential donor hurts.

Not much. He's given 100x more to the University of Macau than he ever has to UNLV. Same w/ Wynn. Those assholes did everything they could to f*ck UNLV out of the UNLVNOW Project that would've been a $900 million for a on-campus stadium, dorms, student retail village w/ student-run hotel, housing, shopping, restaurants, etc that would've been a game changer for the school.....They didn't want any venue of that size near the strip unless they had their dick in the pie. Which is why it took so long for Las Vegas to get a large venue on the Strip.

It's not like Sands Corp is gonna suddenly stop donating UNLV's #1 ranked Hospitality school because the old man died. That's their feeder school along with Caesars, MGM, etc.

Not sure if Adelson ever game mush to UNLV, at least nothing that I know of athletically - Steve Wynn was more involved back in the Tark era.

If his family wanted to honor Sheldon “Hey Reb” Adelson they would give UNLV Football $500 million to build 40,000 seat Sheldon Adelson Stadium on-campus so we wouldn’t have to play in Raider Stadium where we are treated like trash (they won’t even put up the end zone seats during our games).

We'll take 500 million and blame it on Antifa if somebody doesn't like it.

Adelson was a very messy $hit stain. Don't forget he bought the LVRJ to make it his propoganda machine, not to mention his everlasting support for wannabe Dictator Drumpf.

I get confused with GOP donors. What will Adelson be remembered for?

As much as I dislike a paper being used like that — and you’re right it is — it counterbalances the Sun, which Greenspun uses as a mouthpiece for the left. Printed on the same printing presses that is one odd situation in a city as big as Vegas.
