Las Vegas Sands Corp. no longer owns any casinos in Las Vegas or anywhere else in the US. It sold Sands Bethlehem in 2019 and The Venetian Resort Las Vegas in 2022, and its casinos today are all in Asia: Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and five resorts in Macau through its majority-owned subsidiary Sands China. The company is still headquartered in Las Vegas, and Patrick Dumont has been chairman and CEO since March 1, 2026.

From the Sands Hotel to integrated resorts
Las Vegas Sands builds what it calls integrated resorts: a casino floor paired with hotels, restaurants, shopping, entertainment and, above all, convention space.
The company grew out of the Sands Hotel, which opened on the Las Vegas Strip in December 1952. Sheldon Adelson and his partners bought it in 1989 and opened the Sands Expo convention center next door in 1990. The old hotel closed in June 1996 and was demolished that November to make way for The Venetian.
Adelson built around conventions and business travel rather than chasing gamblers alone, then took that model to Macau and Singapore. He died in January 2021, and two months later the company announced it would sell its Las Vegas properties and focus on Asia.
Properties in Macau and Singapore
The Venetian Macao
The Venetian Macao opened on the Cotai Strip in August 2007 and is one of the largest buildings in the world by floor area. It has about 3,000 suites, a casino of around 550,000 square feet, the 15,000-seat Venetian Arena and a large shopping mall.
The Londoner Macao
This resort opened in 2012 as Sands Cotai Central. It was relaunched with a London theme as The Londoner Macao in 2021, and the redesign was finished in 2023. Its hotels are The Londoner Hotel, Londoner Grand, Londoner Court, Conrad Macao and The St. Regis Macao, with more than 4,400 rooms in all.
The Parisian Macao
The Parisian opened in September 2016. Its landmark is the half-scale Eiffel Tower out front, and it combines a casino with a hotel, shops, restaurants and meeting space.
The Plaza Macao
The Plaza Macao sits next to The Venetian Macao and is home to the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, a casino and luxury shopping.
Sands Macao
Sands Macao opened in May 2004 on the Macau peninsula and was the company’s first resort in Asia. Casino gambling is illegal in mainland China but legal in Macau, a special administrative region.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands in Singapore opened in 2010 at a cost of about S$8 billion. Its three towers hold around 1,850 rooms and suites, topped by the SkyPark, which overhangs the north tower by about 218 feet. The resort has roughly 160,000 square feet of gaming space, a large convention center, shops and restaurants.
Sands is building a major expansion next door. The project, estimated at about $8 billion, adds a hotel tower of around 570 suites, a 15,000-seat arena, more convention space and a small premium gaming area. Construction began in 2025, and the company expects it to open in January 2031.
Former properties
The Venetian and The Palazzo, Las Vegas
The Venetian opened in May 1999 with a Venice theme, including the Grand Canal Shoppes and their indoor gondola rides. The Palazzo followed next door at the end of 2007. In February 2022 Las Vegas Sands completed the sale of The Venetian Resort, including both towers and the expo center, for about $6.25 billion. VICI Properties bought the real estate, and funds managed by Apollo Global Management bought the operations.
Sands Expo (now Venetian Expo)
The Sands Expo, the company’s first Las Vegas venture, was part of the 2022 sale and now operates as the Venetian Expo.
Sands Bethlehem (now Wind Creek Bethlehem)
Sands Bethlehem opened in 2009 on the site of the old Bethlehem Steel plant in Pennsylvania. Las Vegas Sands sold it for $1.3 billion in May 2019 to Wind Creek Hospitality, owned by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, and it now operates as Wind Creek Bethlehem.
What’s next for Sands
The Marina Bay Sands expansion is the company’s biggest project. In the US, Sands withdrew its bid for a New York casino licence at the Nassau Coliseum site in April 2025. In Texas, Irving approved Sands’ plan for the former Texas Stadium site in March 2025 only after the company dropped the casino from it, since casinos are illegal in Texas outside a few tribal venues. For now, its gaming business is entirely in Asia.
