This is quite a turnaround from the Steve Wynn who once predicted that Sheldon Adelson would eventually warm up to the concept of online gaming. “I end up agreeing with Sheldon,” said Wynn recently. Steve Wynn now says he concurs with the Las Vegas Sands CEO that Internet gaming could be the apocalypse for underage morality in the U.S. ![]() ![]() Perhaps their mutual success in Macau has created a new bond for the two casino magnates whatever it is, Adelson and Wynn – certainly two of the most established visionaries in the gambling industry – have now also become aligned in an area where Adelson has found few business compadres to join him: his vehement fight against what he claims are the inherent evils of online gambling in America.

Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn are now aligned in their anti-online gambling viewpoints (Image: msn.com)
