Bab 627: Chapter 627: Land of Sin
At the end of October, Charles went to Las Vegas to attend Ivanka Trump's birthday party, which happened to be the day before Halloween.
Ivanka used to celebrate once in New York or Florida, and then celebrate again in Las Vegas in November!
"Happy Birthday!" Charles hugged Ivanka while admiring the Las Vegas night view from the top-floor suite of the Stratosphere Hotel.
The Stratosphere Tower was the tallest building in all of Las Vegas and offered a panoramic view of the entire city.
"Thanks," Ivanka turned around and kissed Charles.
Afterwards, Ivanka asked, "Aren't you worried about the California governor election at all?"
"Not worried. It's a done deal!"
"Your movie Twilight: Eclipse is also about to premiere. I heard it's going up against Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1," Ivanka chatted about the movies while leaning into Charles' embrace.
Charles chuckled, "The two movies are opening two weeks apart, so it's not really a showdown. It's just hype for promotion."
"By the way, Stephen Wynn isn't in Vegas lately, but Sheldon Adelson is," Ivanka reminded.
"Going to meet him?" she asked.
"I've already set up a time to meet Sheldon Adelson - on the day of the governor's election. Don't forget, West Pacific Union Bank has been buying a lot of stocks from Sands Entertainment in the past six months," Charles was indeed very interested in Sheldon Adelson. No surprise, he's the richest in the gambling world in the U.S.
As for Stephen Wynn, not only couldn't he compare to Sheldon Adelson, but even Kirk Kerkorian's assets could easily surpass his.
Ivanka turned around, wrapping her arms around Charles' neck intimately, "Look, all these tycoons you're dealing with now are in their seventies or eighties. And you, you're not even 30. Age-wise, you'd be their grandchild! Now, whether it's financial news or entertainment news, there's a lot about you. People are guessing if Capet Pictures will make you the world's richest someday."
Charles was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "The recently released movie The Social Network, about Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg, is very popular too. He's even younger than me. Isn't he also an idol for young Americans now!"
Ivanka laughed, "I almost forgot, you're also a big investor in Silicon Valley..."
Charles didn't wait for her to finish; he simply kissed her, making her dress fall, revealing her perfect 32D figure.
Before long, they moved to the bedroom, with Ivanka clinging tightly to him. "Charles, tomorrow I don't want you to leave the hotel at all..."
...
With the governor elections opening in California and Nevada, Charles, enjoying time with Ivanka in Vegas, didn't care much about it. He still attended Halloween parties, UFC matches, and more.
The next morning, in their suite at the Trump International Hotel.
Ivanka picked up the newspaper, "Jerry Brown won the governor election and has become the 39th governor of California. After New Year's Day, he will officially take over from Arnold Schwarzenegger."
Charles stretched and sat on the couch next to Ivanka, rubbing her thigh and smiling, "Get ready, we have to meet Sheldon Adelson this afternoon."
"Republican Brian Sandoval also won Nevada's governor election. You should know Sheldon Adelson has always been one of the main financial backers for the Republicans."
In Las Vegas, who can disregard these casino tycoons?
East Las Vegas, Henderson, Lake Mead Reservoir, a large lake created by the Hoover Dam over the Colorado River.
Lake Mead is shared by Nevada and Colorado and provides water for the entire Las Vegas area.
At the Lake Mead Holiday Hotel, Charles finally met with Sheldon Adelson.
"Charles, you're quite accomplished at such a young age!" Sheldon Adelson, 77, still looked rather energetic.
"I just have some fame in Hollywood," Charles said, hugging Sheldon Adelson.
"Mr. Adelson!" Ivanka also greeted with a smile.
"Oh, my dear Ivanka," Sheldon Adelson looked at Charles again, "Not bad."
After a while, "Charles, take a walk with this old man!" Sheldon Adelson stood up, smiling at Charles.
"Ivanka, you don't mind letting your boyfriend take a walk with an old man, right?"
Ivanka shook her head with a smile.
Soon, Charles and Sheldon Adelson, accompanied by their bodyguards, walked up a hill near Lake Mead.
Sheldon Adelson looked at the Hoover Dam over the Colorado River and said, "The prosperity of Las Vegas owes a lot to the Hoover Dam!"
Charles also looked up, "Indeed, the historical and practical significance of the Hoover Dam needs no further explanation. A gambling city in the desert, Las Vegas was a brilliant idea. Those were truly grand times back then!"
"Grand times?" Sheldon Adelson seemed lost in thought, "Charles, do you know what other purpose Lake Mead serves, apart from providing water for Las Vegas?"
Charles glanced at Sheldon Adelson and smiled, "I think it's used to hide bodies. Cement and burlap-wrapped bodies, thrown into Lake Mead one by one, without a trace."
Charles had done his homework on Sheldon Adelson. Las Vegas had always been built by gangs from New York and Chicago.
Given Sheldon Adelson's Jewish mob background, Charles was well aware of the sinful path Las Vegas had taken.
"Haha, that's right," Sheldon Adelson wasn't surprised, pointing to Lake Mead. "In those days, iron barrels filled with bodies were tossed into the lake almost every day, after being filled with cement. Mafias, drug dealers, arms dealers, bounty hunters, and even thieves, FBI agents - it's both a heaven and hell in Las Vegas!"
Charles' expression didn't change and he agreed with Sheldon Adelson's view.
"Las Vegas is slowly declining," Charles smiled, acknowledging that the current world's top gambling city is Macau.
"Yes," Sheldon Adelson admitted, having invested heavily in building casino resorts in Macau and Singapore to keep Sands Entertainment growing.
"Pity, the new governor of Nevada might have hurdles to overcome too," Charles hinted,
"Democratic Senator Harry Reid has a different opinion, it seems..."
