Steve Wynn and his new girlfriend

Steve Wynn is a Big Jew, whether he likes it or not.
In fact, he is one of the Top Three Big Jews of Las Vegas, along with Mayor Oscar Goodman and billionaire/casino magnate Sheldon Adelson. Wynn helped remake the Las Vegas Strip and revitalize Las Vegas by building new hotel casino resorts. His Mirage opened in 1989, and Treasure Island opened next door four years later. He blew up The Dunes and built Bellagio, one of the world’s premier hotels, on the Dunes’ site. It opened in 1998. He merged his company with MGM and then sold his share. More recently he opened his eponymous resort in 2005 (?—I’m not looking it up) and its sister resort next door, Encore, last year.
So Wynn does pretty well. He recently filed for divorce from his wife, Elaine. That’s a little unusual considering his age. Since he’s 67, the Wynns have probably been married for 40 years or so. I just saw a photograph of Wynn with his new girlfriend. She appears to be under 40 and not Jewish. And this is where I have a problem.
Wynn’s life is not very private. Part of that is not his fault, but part of it is. He used his image to market his casinos. Someone who shies from the spotlight does not name a hotel after himself or plaster the logo, with surname therein, all over the property. Nor would he feature himself in tv ads for the hotel, standing on the 40-story hotel roof and joking about the helicopter circling overhead. He is frequently seen in public, either walking around or having lunch at his two properties or at charitable events in Las Vegas. He has a public persona. Las Vegas named a side street for him years before his Wynn and Encore hotels were built.
So he has an image to uphold, and that includes the image of a Big Jew. He doesn’t do that image any good by dating a non-Jew under 40. We sigh and say, “Yeah, another shikse for the rich guy.” It doesn’t need to be that way. For all his hundreds and likely thousands of business contacts, Wynn couldn’t find a beautiful, successful divorcée closer to his age who isn’t after his money? I find that hard to believe.
