Las Vegas Sands Corp. continues its expansion in Macau with the announcement of the new Sands Macao Hotel.
The new 24-story hotel is situated next to casino Sands Macao, which opened in 2004. The hotel adds 289 suites, seven restaurants, a heated rooftop swimming pool and a 660-seat theater to the 800 table games and 1500 slot machines in the casino.
The Sands Macao Hotel will be the second casino hotel opened by the chairman of Las Vegas Sands, American billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who hopes to transform Macau into a top vacation spot.
The casino operator opened its massive new casino and hotel resort The Venetian Macao last month in the former Portuguese colony, which returned to Chinese rule in 1999.
“We are now uniquely positioned in Macao to offer all the integrated amenities necessary as a destination to attract a diverse range of multi-night visitors,” said Mark Brown, president of Sands Macao and the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel.
