Short and not so sweet
MSN Money’s roundup (based on the annual list from Wealth-X) of the richest individuals in each state was no surprise when it came to Nevada, where Sheldon Adelson has long ruled the roost. What was kind of a surprise was the blurb that accompanied the photo of the billionaire ($29 billion, apparently). In two sentences, it paints quite a picture: “Sheldon Adelson is the 81-year-old chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands. He is currently one of the biggest donors to the Republican Party, and is known for giving some questionable quotes including that the U.S. should drop a nuclear bomb on Iran and that all the CEOs in Vegas are essentially copying him.” —Erin Ryan

And now comes news of the app’s first customer in Las Vegas: Killers frontman Brandon Flowers. On its website, Uber calls Flowers “Rider Zero.” Sounds like a future hit. —Ken Miller
