Sheldon Adelson, the chairman, CEO, and majority shareholder of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, landed among the top ten donors in Texas this election cycle, with a $2.5 million donation to the Republican State Leadership Committee PAC. Adelson's wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, also contributed $2 million to the PAC. Political observers suspect the Adelsons may be greasing the wheels with lawmakers to legalize casinos in Texas.
