Las Vegas Leaders Respond to Adelson’s Passing
Sheldon Adelson’s vison helped transform Las Vegas from a small desert city into a world-class tourism destination. NV’s massive business, entertainment, & convention industries are what they are today because of his life’s work. My thoughts are with his family during this time.

Sheldon Adelson helped make Las Vegas a top international travel destination. He played a key role in making our city a premiere sports town. I hope the Adelson family will carry on his philanthropic legacy and I am thinking of them in their time of grief.

As Jewish leaders, we also shared a deep concern for the rise in anti-Semitism and joined efforts to help combat hate.

My thoughts are with Dr. Miriam Adelson and Sheldon’s entire family during this difficult time.
Beyond the public image & Horatio Alger rise, Sheldon Adelson took Las Vegas to a new level of tourism & success by bringing COMDEX(CES) into reality & building a resort empire. Mr. Adelson was a caring & religious man who quietly changed lives through his enormous philanthropy.
