7 whimsical piñatas for your sins
Las Vegas artist’s unique series made for Meow Wolf at Area15
If a grocery store is a place you go for things you need, then the Omega Mart is where you go for things you could never even fathom.
Among the mysterious items that stock the store’s shelves are seven looming piñatas, constructed with cardboard and tissue paper, each representing one of the deadly sins.
Las Vegas artist Justin Favela designed the seven piñatas exclusively for the newest Meow Wolf experience located at Area15.
Wynn’s suitability as a license holder and potentially fine him. His attorneys said he has surrendered his license and they would take the commission to court if necessary to block any disciplinary action.
Late Thursday, Clark County District Court Judge Adriana Escobar issued a ruling saying the Control Board had no jurisdiction over Steve Wynn.
None of that came up in Elaine Wynn’s Thursday’s appearance.
In a 40-minute suitability hearing, commissioners indicated they were satisfied with Elaine Wynn’s expla
nation of her actions in 2018 when her former husband, Steve Wynn, stepped down as chairman and CEO of the company in the wake of a sexual harassment scandal first reported by the Wall Street Journal. Steve Wynn has denied harassing anybody.
When it was determined in 2018 that Steve Wynn paid a previously undisclosed $7.5 million settlement in a paternity claim to a former employee in 2005, gaming regulators in Nevada and Massachusetts raised questions about how much Elaine Wynn knew about it.
In Thursday’s hearing, commissioners indicated they were satisfied with Elaine Wynn’s response and did not press for additional details.
Most of Thursday’s testimony centered around Wynn’s philanthropic and education efforts.
Asked by a commissioner what motivates her, Wynn said she had a desire to be engaged with people.
“I made a decision early on and I suppose it continued on with me forever that I wanted to live a life that was fully engaged with all people and that no matter how ambitious I may become in terms of aspirations, I did not want to be cut off from any part of the world,” she said.
