UNLV
The initial reaction of the public at large is that the Adelsons, Wynns,
Herbsts and Fertittas “owe” Nevada a great deal because it is Nevada
who made them the financial successes that they are. My assumption
would be
that these multi-billionaires sincerely and reasonably believe that it
is they who built Nevada, not Nevada that built their fortunes. I agree
that not one of these individuals “owes” Nevada anything. That being
so, what argument do we use to persuade them
to give substantial amounts of their wealth to UNLV?
If you think of life as like a big pie, you can try to hold the whole pie and kill yourself trying to keep it, or you can slice it up and give some to the people around you, and you still have plenty left for yourself.
