Sands sells its Las Vegas casinos in US$6.25b deal as it shifts focus to Macau, Singapore

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Las Vegas Sands, founded by late casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, will sell its Vegas properties for US$6.25 billion (S$8.33 billion), exiting the US gambling hot spot after three decades to focus on Asia, home to Singapore and the world's largest gambling hub, Macau. Las Vegas Sands is also shortening its name to Sands as a result of leaving Las Vegas, CNN reported. In a press release, Adelson's company said the change is "bittersweet" and will help it focus on faster growing markets, such as Asia. The sale comes nearly two months after the death of Mr Adelson - widely credited with helping transform the Chinese territory of Macau from a den of hard core gambling parlors into a centre of luxury resorts and convention centres with revenue that now dwarfs Las Vegas. Las Vegas Sands said the deal underscores its strategy of reinvesting in its Asian operations, with a focus on Macau and Singapore, where it owns the Marina Bay Sands casino resort. Macau and Singapore accounted for 48 per cent and 35 per cent of the company's total revenue in 2020, respectively, according to Refinitiv Eikon data. "The deal further strengthens the company's balance sheet to fund future ...

Las Vegas Sands chief takes leave for cancer treatment

NEW YORK • Sheldon Adelson, the chairman and chief executive officer of Las Vegas Sands, which owns Singapore's Marina Bay Sands, is taking a leave of absence after resuming treatment for cancer. Mr Adelson had retained his executive role since the company revealed in 2019 that he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Company president Robert Goldstein will take up Mr Adelson's duties as acting chairman and acting CEO, according to a statement on Thursday. Mr Adelson, 87, is the company's majority shareholder and one of the world's biggest gambling moguls, overseeing operations from the Las Vegas Strip to Macau to Singapore. He is a prominent donor to Republican politics in the United States, having backed outgoing President Donald Trump. The appointment is unlikely to cause changes in the group's strategic direction or operations at its Sands China arm, which is run by a local management team, according to gaming analyst D.S. Kim of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The impact on Sands' relations with Macau and Beijing "may be open for debate, but we similarly see no negative impact on its positioning in the market", Mr Kim wrote in a research note on Thursday. He said Mr Goldstein has long been in posi...
