Wynn, who suffers from a degenerative eye disease, has managed his most ambitious project ever with customary painstaking attention to detail--he is known to call colleagues in the middle of the night to share his latest brainstorms. In addition to the first-class luxury retail brands you would expect to find (Cartier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton), his shops will offer an array of his own private-label products. Also on display in a gallery will be selected works from the world-class art collection that was prominently featured at the Bellagio. (Wynn recently paid $8.8 million for a John Singer...
...help establish a beachhead, they have carefully blended all the Vegas pomp at the Sands Macao into an Asian vibe. A feng shui master helped design every detail of the casino to ensure that the elements were in harmony, from replacing the slot machines' winning trio of 7's with lucky Chinese 8's (in Chinese, the word for "eight" rhymes with the word meaning "get rich") to rounding the high rollers' area with beehive curves to encourage its inhabitants to "leave their honey."

They ran around with unshaven faces, wearing t-shirts from past Kerry rallies and police-style radios strapped to their shoulders, making sure that every detail of the rally, from the flags to the rope line music, would be perfect. Like me, they had been up all night. Unlike me, they would catch flights that very afternoon to build the site of a rally in Raleigh, N.C., which drew 25,000 people four days later...
...only been a man in a hurry, but one seemingly in control of his destiny. He has set the agenda and nudged conservative P.M. John Howard out of his comfort zone; surprisingly, Latham, 43, has regularly managed to trump the crafty incumbent in basic politics. With scant policy detail, Latham's positive slogan of a "new politics" is reaching voters. Al-though lampooned by his opponents, Latham is best known for his views about reading to children to improve literacy and banning television junk-food advertising to counter childhood obesity. For many voters, especially suburban mums, his concerns are similar...
