“Sands China has delivered on Sheldon Adelson’s vision through the ongoing development of Cotai. Where 250 acres of empty reclaimed land once sat, we have built one of the world’s leading tourist destinations with an incredible future ahead of it,” said Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Robert G. Goldstein.
Goldstein added that the launch of the iconic The Londoner Macao and additional investments in non-gaming infrastructure would play an increasingly visible role in the future growth of Cotai.
“Like our other properties, The Londoner Macao is a hub through which we can give back to local residents,” said Sands China Ltd. President Dr. Wilfred Wong.
