Billionaire Sponsors Trip to Vegas for Wounded Warriors

Las Vegas [Enlarge Image]

By Gene Koprowski

Several dozen wounded American soldiers and sailors this weekend were treated to an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas, the nation's gambling capital.

The trip was timed to coincide with Memorial Day, the holiday that celebrates the contributions and sacrifices made by military veterans in the U.S.

The trip, organized by the Armed Forces Foundation, brought 40 wounded soldiers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and the National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland, to the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.

Armed Forces Foundation officials said the trip was a dream distraction from the everyday life at the hospitals, where the soldiers lived while recovering from their injuries.

Kyle Riley of Catlett, Virginia, decided with his fiancée to make it their wedding weekend.
The 21-year-old Riley lost part of his left leg to an improvised explosive device (IED_ in Iraq. He plans to wed Alyssa Mergler this week on a gold and white gondola, courtesy of Sheldon Adelson, the billionaire casino mogul who runs Las Vegas Sands Corporation and paid for the trip.

The soldiers-turned-high rollers took a private plane to Las Vegas, were greeted at the airport by Wayne Newton, the famed Las Vegas entertainer and celebrity. They also hung out backstage with the actors from Blue Man Group, a performance art group, and met with Adelson, according to the billionaire's spokesman.
