Las Vegas Sands's Comment on Competition and Industry Peers
Gaming in Macao is administered by the government through concessions awarded to three different concessionaires and three subconcessionaires, of which we are one. No additional concessions have been granted by the Macao government since 2002; however, if the Macao government were to allow additional gaming operators in Macao through the grant of additional concessions or subconcessions, we would face additional competition. The concessionaires are Sociedade de Jogos de Macau S.A., Wynn Resorts (Macau), S.A. and Galaxy Casino Company Limited ("Galaxy"), with MGM Grand Paradise, S.A., Melco PBL Jogos (Macau), S.A. and our Company operating under subconcessions.
Gaming in Singapore is administered by the government through the award of
licenses to two operators, our Company and Resorts World Sentosa, which is 100%
owned by Genting Singapore PLC. The CRA is required to ensure there will not
be more than two casino licenses until January 1, 2031.
Our Singapore operations also face competition from other gaming and resort
destinations, both in Asia and globally.
