On the recordMay 7, 2025
Today, I rise to honor the loss of a true caretaker of Las Vegas, my dear friend and mentor, Elaine Wynn. There are no words and certainly not enough time to express my sadness and share the enormous impact that Elaine had on Las Vegas, on Nevada, and on this country. Her trailblazing philanthropy touched the lives of millions, whether it was a kid able to play in afterschool sports, a struggling student who was able to graduate high school, or a kid who received food backpacks each weekend. Of course, there was her strong support of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Elaine was an incredible businesswoman because her bottom line started with taking care of her employees first and her customers second. While my heart is still heavy, I can't be anything but grateful that I was able to know her and to learn so much from such an amazing woman. Her memory and impact will be felt forever. ____________________
