LAS VEGAS — A dealmaker who helped bring Donald Trump to Sin City and attempted to install Michael Jackson as the headline act at a themed casino has died at his Las Vegas-area home.

Jack Wishna was found Tuesday at his Henderson home, Clark County Coroner Mike Murphy said.

The circumstances surrounding the 54-year-old’s death were unknown. Foul play wasn’t suspected, police spokesman Keith Paul said.

The well-known wheeler and dealer will be remembered for orchestrating a multimillion-dollar agreement between performer Wayne Newton and the Stardust casino, said Dan Wilinsky, a spokesman for Wishna’s latest project.

Nevada is the most important city from the U.S. state of Nevada. Nicknamed Las vegas as well as the Entertainment Capital of the World, it is situated in the midst from the southern Nevada desert landscape. The city features many giant mega-hotel/casino complexes decorated with lavish attention and care to detail to make a fantasy-like atmosphere. The casinos often have names and themes that evoke relationships, secret, and faraway and amazing areas.
