About this audio guide
This guide to The Palazzo at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas opens on the tower's grand debut in December 2007, fifty stories high and two billion dollars in the making, just months before global credit markets seized. You'll follow its owner, Sheldon Adelson, as the 2008 crash wipes out a fortune that had briefly ranked among the world's largest, and the company's shares collapse toward single digits within a year. It follows what he chose to do as accountants warned the company could default.
