"I think the reason it's gonna be so great is that like Las Vegas has made a difference in the world of entertainment by taking what a lot of people thought years ago was a bad habit called gambling, and it truly changed the world of entertainment — around the world I believe. That we can and will do the same in healthcare," he said.
