The reversals of fortune of longtime foes Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson were well captured recently by Forbes. It may have griped Wynn to see Adelson shoot almost to the top of the world’s richest people list. But that has changed, as Forbes wrote: “Adelson and Wynn’s relationship is long and icy. Adelson complained eruptions from the fake volcano at Wynn’s Mirage hotel and casino were too loud. Wynn countered that Adelson didn’t build enough parking at his Las Vegas projects and the overflow grabbed spaces from his own customers. Wynn said Adelson has an ‘inferiority complex’ and Adelson called Wynn an ‘egomaniac.’ Adelson doesn’t have time for quips now though.” But, my guess is, Wynn has plenty of time for some of his own.
