Las Vegas dealmaker Jack Wishna has spoken out for the first time regarding failed plans for a project of Michael Jackson doing a show in Las Vegas, USA. He insists Michael was desperate to wow the Sin City crowds:

“I had him (Jackson) on the telephone when he was in Ireland and he was all excited about working in Las Vegas. It even got down to the detail of a statue of himself that he wanted out front (of the hotel).

He also came up with the idea of having his own slot machines. I have a signed contract that he wanted us to put together to market his slot machines in Europe and Asia.”

However, Wishna claims the proposal “went nowhere” after Michael suddenly became impossible to get hold of.
