... if you happen to be Michael A. Leven. Despite having no executive experience in the gaming sector, Las Vegas Sands' new president has landed a groovy compensation package: $2 million upfront, plus the prospect of another $1 million in bonuses and generous option grants. You can't make that kind of dough running an aquarium.
Update: A more accurate Associated Press story has been substituted for the Las Vegas Sun story that was linked earlier.
We're#1! Not only does Nevada top the nation in foreclosure rates, it's sixth-highest in unemployment and third in Food Stamp participation, meaning the Silver State leads America in metrics that measure "economic distress." Meanwhile, the governor goes off the deep end and the Lege dithers spinelessly. We're a great place to visit but, for the time being, you wouldn't want to live here.
Thats a lot of dough for that job during these times. No provisions, just straight forward salary? Who do they think they are? AIG?
Was it nice before 2005? Because that was when I moved in and I haven't liked it since.
The two million clams is straight salary -- 5% higher base pay than Gary Loveman will make this year. That's pretty good for a relative newcomer to gaming like Mr. Leven.
