LAS VEGAS (AP) Las Vegas Sands Corp. chief and billionaire Republican political donor Sheldon Adelson is firing back at his former Macau casino executive’s claim that Adelson approved prostitution at company properties in the Chinese gambling enclave.

Court documents filed Tuesday in Las Vegas accuse fired Sands China Ltd. executive Steven Jacobs of trying to tarnish Adelson’s reputation to call attention to Jacob’s claim that he was wrongly dismissed.
