Caesars joins Wynn and Adelson in funding pro-Republican group

Sheldon Adelson. Steve Wynn. Gary Loveman?

Caesars, historically the most Democratic-leaning casino company, has contributed $165,299 to a national Republican group that’s playing in the state’s five competitive state Senate seats.

... Given Caesars’ past Democratic bent, it may seem surprised the company would give so heavily to Republicans.

But last session Caesars felt burned by state Democratic leadership under Senate Majority Leader Steven Horsford, D-North Las Vegas, who’s now running for Congress. The company had collected signatures for an arena question to be placed on the ballot, but lawmakers decided to pass a competing measure. (The Nevada Supreme Court has since thrown Caesars’ question off the ballot. The Legislature’s competing measure also won’t be on the ballot.)

Of their money. I am just not into throwing away my money. So many people's lives have been destroyed because of gambling. So I guess those casino owners are going to demand their workers vote for Robme rmoney now?
