Because the reason Mr Baldwin is where he is today stems fromm the fact that he was a successful poker player.

He used to practically live at the GN in the 70's when Steve Wynn took a liking to him and made him a paid consultant for first the poker room then the whole casino.

Then after a couple of years in that role, he became the president of the whole hotel, then when Mirage opened he became pres. of the mirage, then pres of bellagio, now he is in charge of Project Citycenter, which will undoubtedly be the biggest and grandest casino complex in the world.
