I'm guessing you don't hate Adelson for many of the same reasons?
The Board of Directors, elected by the shareholders, generally has to approve C-suite bonuses.
You are semi-correct, I don't hate Adelson because I don't fault him for what Las Vegas Sands does. But he has personally (as a non-corporation) done a bunch of objectionable stuff, which I do fault him for. I don't agree with boycotting the Venetian for being greedy, but I would agree with boycotting the Venetian because Adelson tried to hide his turning of the Review-Journal into a puppet show. I agree with boycotting the Review-Journal because it is a puppet show, but don't agree with boycotting it because it is pro-Republican.

Treated differently by who? By you?
By the 50-70% of people who recognize that their displeasure over the parking fees is something separate from their habit of tipping the valet. Sure, 30-50% of people act as you do, and stiff the valet as retaliation for the corporate policy the valet's boss's boss's boss has enacted. But many don't.
And you should be part of the crowd that recognizes the difference between corporate greed and personal greed.
