California Investments


Sonoma County is the world leader in wine. Honeymooners vacation in cities surrounding the vineyards near Valley of the Moon where Jack London retired. Calistoga, famous for hot springs attracted Russians. Cooks arrived for the culinary arts at the cooking academy. St. Helena offered boutiques. Tiburon had views of San Francisco and movie stars started to call Mill Valley their investment outside of their Hollywood homes in Los Angeles, California. These are the wealthiest investors in the Western hemisphere. The Sonoma County airport started direct flights to Las Vegas. Each year, leaders from Washington D.C. meet in Monte Rio at Bohemian Grove. After the decisions have been made, the club detours to Las Vegas. Tourists started to demand more from their visits to San Francisco. After photographing the Golden Gate Bridge, drinking wine in Napa, and riding a cable car over the hill on California Street to Chinatown, the planes were waiting to take visitors to Las Vegas, where limousines waited to drop them off at a lobby with entertainers in the Paris Hotel like Charlie Sheen, Celine Dion at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace, and yesterday Steve Wynn married Andrea Hissom. Time Magazine voted Steve Wynn as one of the most influential men in the world. As I write these words - Clinton Eastwood took a place next to Steve Wynn as his best man, Donald Trump spoke to Republicans about the Presidential run, and Robin Leach presented an opportunity for the world to see who was at the wedding. The famous arrived as Robin Leach showed visitors who the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous presents at a wedding. British audiences feared that the wedding in Las Vegas would take away from the Royal Wedding at Buckingham Palace between Prince William and Kate. I was at the Wynn on Tuesday and this morning for breakfast. The views inside the Wynn resort helped emphasize these words as I write from a notepad and type across the keyboard. Financiers Stephen Schwarzman, Michael Milken, Sol Kerzner, these billionaires shook hands with filmmakers Hugh Jackman, Sylvester Stallone, and like I said a few sentences earlier, Clint Eastwood, who happened to be Steve Wynn’s best man at his April 30th wedding to Andrea Hissom. Here in Vegas, Hollywood mingles with great money makers. They married. Start relationships. Turn partnerships into billion dollar adventures. Las Vegas is open for business. With direct flights to Las Vegas from a town near you, why aren’t you investing in Las Vegas?
