# Las Vegas Sands The Adelson family casino empire — built by [[Sheldon Adelson]], now the corporate wing of [[Miriam Adelson]]'s political operation (her ~$106M+ to [[Preserve America PAC]] made her Trump's biggest 2024 donor). Having sold its Vegas properties to concentrate on Macao and Singapore, Sands' major US play is legislative: Sands-backed PACs and Adelson personally poured roughly $10M each into 2026 Texas primaries to elect casino-legalization supporters, with a Dallas arena-casino complex (via her Mavericks ownership) as the endgame — buying a market by buying a legislature. > Status: stub — expand with the Sheldon era (Israel politics, RJC), the Macao dependency, and the Texas legalization campaign. ## See Also - [[Prediction Markets and Gambling Sector]] - [[Miriam Adelson]] · [[Sheldon Adelson]] · [[Preserve America PAC]]
