Professional sourpuss Sheldon Adelson doesn’t think you should gamble … on the Internet, that is. (“In the history of bad ideas, this has to be one of the worst,” the ad glumly intones.) In Adelson’s intellectually dishonest world it’s perfectly OK to gamble in your Venelazzo hotel room on a Cantor Gaming mobile device — but to play at a Web casino on your mobile phone? Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! Very bad.
“Internet gambling … takes gambling took far.” OK, Sheldon: How far is far enough? Blowing it all at a Las Vegas Sands-owned casino, maybe? Because that’s the message you’re putting across. Hypocrisy, thy name is Adelson.
Apparently, he doesn’t understand that internet gaming will allow him to have gaming on his hotel web site.
Maybe play (blackjack?) against the house for an upgrade in suites when you book on his web site.
