The Mogul Who Bet on Vegas: Washington Post,April 3,08 page A17
Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are richest Americans. The 3rd one is Sheldon Adelson, 74, whose net worth is $26 billion. In Macao, Adelson has two resorts, including a Venetian with a casino three times larger than the largest in Las Vegas.
Thanks to Adelson, Macao has its Venetian - a replica of a replica of a city. China has passed into post-modernism's erasure of distinctions between high and low culture, and between originals and copies, without yet achieving modernity. Buffett and Gates may still be richer, for now, but Adelson's achievements astonish and multiply. Howcome? Ponder and reflect the SAR of Macao,China when visitors expect to try their luck in Macao.
