Las Vegas Sands Corp. Chairman and CEO (CEO). Sheldon G. Aderson, Chairman and CEO, who died on the night of the week, was a favorable person who recognized his business grip, dedication to the country, and his philanthropy on Tuesday afternoon. It was memorized by other people.

President Donald Trump: "Sheldon has lived in the true American Dream. His originality, genius, and creativity brought him a great property, his temperament and philanthropist good, that is his dignity. He brought his name, and still relocated to the US Embassy, ​​Israel. Sheldon, who has been given a global appeal between Israel and his neighboring countries, has been dedicated to his family, his country. He was not enough.

Vice President Mike Pence: "With the death of Sheldon Adeline, the United States lost a giant, Karen and I were a friend. We mourn good and solemn with the United States and the people around the world.

Sheldon Aderson did not live in the United States, but did it. He was a benefactor, his good personality, who did not know the limit, contributed to the countless good deeds, and changed an immeasurable number of life.

Sheldon Aderson deeply believed the importance of the historical alliance between the United States and the Jewish state Israel. He supported the historic relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem. This relocation further enhances the connection between the United States and Israel for future generations.

King David said: "Did you not know that the leaders and great people in Israel had fallen in Israel?" Sheldon Aderson was a leader and a great person. The heritage will inspire the generations over the next years, and all the people who are honored to know their family, friends, and this truly rare Americans will sincerely regret his death. That would be.

The beloved wife, Miriam, children, and 11 grandchildren: Karen and I are deeply condolted, with prayer. "GD comforts you who are mourning in Zion and Jerusalem, so that his memories will be blessed forever."

Former President George Bush Jr.: "I came from the harsh Boston district, worked for tens of thousands of people and made millions of people enjoy it. He was an American patriot, a generous charity, and an enthusiastic supporter of Israel. Sheldon gave a generous donation to charitable activities, especially medical research and Jewish traditional education. He will be unsatisfactory for many, but not his beloved family.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: "Sheldon has strengthened the position of Israel in the United States and has strengthened the connection between Israel and Diaspola.

"We will never forget the great contribution of Sheldon, Israel and Jewish people.

Former Harry Reed Senate General Affairs: "Sheldon Aderson has no major influence on the hotel, the gambling industry, and the Nevada economy. He has come to Las Vegas as a parliament-business master. Aderson is gambling. He became one of Nevada's giants in the areas of convention and hospitality.

"He has also had an impact on Asia. He has contributed to opening a resort for the Far East residents at a resort in Las Vegas and creating a prosperous international gambling market.

"For almost 40 years, I have held him in high regard, and Sheldon has never been closed to his important business. His concerts to support the Land of Israel and Jewish issues have been right for him and have regulated the lives of countless others in the country and abroad. "Landra and I formulated a compassion for Miriam and the entire Adeleson family," he said. Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak: "Sheldon was a man who believed in a bold and arrogant idea to adapt Nevada, made it work, and invested in it.

"He was born into a rather underserved family and achieved international popularity as a businessman, builder, and philanthropist. He started out as a client and held the world's most important computer conference in Las Vegas. He saw an opportunity that most people had overlooked, and built the first convention and resort center in Las Vegas.

"Other resorts also picked up on this new business model, and conventions and businesses became an important part of Las Vegas' success.

"In these complex times, action for me is higher than anyone else. Sheldon did not pay attention to the huge financial costs that came with a mass pandemic, and he isolated and restricted his company for protocols to mitigate the consequences. Sheldon made a promise to pay and provide insurance for all his employees in Las Vegas. There is no doubt that this promise helped thousands of Nevadans survive during those difficult months, and Sheldon's promise will never be forgotten.

"Katy My heart goes out to Dr. Adelson, his sons, and his entire family, and those closest to him, during this incredibly difficult time."

Senator Jacky Rosen: "I am outraged by the news of the passing of Sheldon Adelson. Sheldon and Miriam's work to eradicate drug and poison addiction in the Silver State has changed so many lives. As well as our Jewish goodwill, we share deep concerns about the rise of anti-Semitism and have joined forces to help combat hatred. In this difficult time, I I believe Dr. Miriam Addresson and the entire Sheldon family.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto: "Sheldon Addresson's vision undoubtedly transformed Las Vegas from a small desert megalopolis into a middle-class tourist destination with large business, industrial and Silver State conventions that touched the requirements of everyone from merchants to traders to international travelers, and it was thanks to his work and loyalty that Las Vegas became what it is today. Now I believe his family."

Congresswoman Susie Lee: "I am saddened to hear of the passing of Sheldon Adderson. He was a gaming titan who helped shape modern Las Vegas and provided jobs for thousands of Las Vegas families for decades. I am especially grateful to him and his family for their invaluable investments in our community, from opening clinics to help those battling opioid addiction to founding the Adelson Education Campus, a dynamic school that remains a cornerstone of the Las Vegas Jewish community today. His legacy will undoubtedly be one of the greatest in the history of the city." He will live on in every corner of Southern Nevada. My prayers and deepest condolences go to his wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, their children and the entire Adelson family. May the world not forget him.

Congressman Steven Horsford: "Sheldon Adelson left an unmistakable mark on Las Vegas. Thanks to his tremendous philanthropy, he created new educational opportunities for Southern Nevada children and helped thousands of adolescents and adults struggling with opioid addiction overcome the disease. His legacy will continue through the Adelson Educational Campus and Adelson Clinic. His legacy lives on thanks to his generosity, and Nevadans will continue to benefit from his generosity. I extend my condolences to the Adelson family in their sorrow.

Congresswoman Dina Titus: "Sheldon Adelson helped make Las Vegas one of the premier international tourist destinations. He played a key role in transforming our city into a premier sports city. I hope that the Adelson family will continue his philanthropic legacy.

County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick: "We are grateful to him for his many wonderful contributions to the development of our community. He was dedicated to the veterans and their families of Valley Nellis, fought opioid addiction, helped his team members build numerous public gardens, and supported the Jewish community of Nevada for many years. Let his memory be a blessing.

Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman: "Beyond enhancing the public image and status of Horatio Alder, Sheldon Adelson took Las Vegas to a new level of endless tourism and convention success, bringing Comdex (CES) to fruition and supporting the 5 He built the 3-Star Hotel and Casino-Imperia.

Our condolences and prayers go out to Dr. Miriam and Mr. Adelson's family.

Sheldon Adelson built one of the most recognizable gaming brands in the world, whose impact is felt not only in Las Vegas but around the world. When the COVID pandemic caused resorts and casinos to close, his continued payment of wages and benefits for thousands of employees during tough financial times was a relief to many Nevada families. Through his own generosity, he and Dr. Adelson established Adelson Hospital, which undoubtedly helped nearly every Nevadan walk the difficult path of drug addiction recovery over the past two decades. Our condolences go out to Dr. Adelson and the entire Adelson family. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell: "With the passing of my friend Sheldon Adelson, our civilization has passed the proverbial Yankee. Sheldon built an incredible life and career. He went from a boy sleeping in a tenement during the Great Depression to a man who practically towers over Las Vegas and beyond. Along the way, he built countless workspaces. And he invested his personal success in charities close to his heart, from drug addiction treatments to cancer and other disease research to countless causes for Jewish people around the world."

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford said, "Sheldon Adelson was a pioneer in the casino and convention industry, a brilliant entrepreneur, and a philanthropist who funded high schools, medical research, and countless other charitable efforts. Mr. Adelson was not born into wealth or advantage; he was the son of immigrants and grew up sleeping on the floor of his family's Boston neighborhood. 12 By the age of 18, he had launched his first business and looked to the future with big dreams and a strong work ethic. By the end of his life, he had over 50 companies.

Mr. Adelson was a man who worked hard for religious causes. His work for the Jewish community and its interests was popular around the world and has remained a legacy for many generations. ” Also, after the death of George Floyd, he invited me to discuss racial issues with his employees to strengthen social harmony, and through that, with the cooperation of Sands, a program aimed at improving racial relations in society was brought to attention. I will always be grateful for this.

"In that business, Adson left an unforgettable footprint in our society. Deeply condemned by his wife, Gary, Mitchell, Sherry, and all his friends and his family. Express your will.
