Fresh on the news that he’ll most likely be taking over South Philly Foxwoods, gambling impresario/mesmerizing teeth-and-hairpiece Steve Wynn was interrupted by protestors from Casino-Free Philadelphia when it was his turn to speak at a PA Gaming Control Board meeting this morning, Philly Clout reports. The protestor was heard to say, “We do not want you in our city. Please go back to Las Vegas. We do not welcome you.” To which Wynn replied, “Usually, it takes people a few days after they know me to not like me.” Zing! We gotta say, we’re starting to warm up to this guy. I mean, if we’re going to have casinos — and yes, we are going to have some damned casinos — better to have a smilin’ cheeseball pro like Wynn than some humorless suit or frowning tribesman. But maybe that’s just the Jew, Italian, and Vietnamese in us talking.
