Important News
LVS was expecting to sell its Singapore real estate gambling center known as the Marine Bay Sands by 2013 or 2014. However, the Singapore government has declared a lock-up on the sale of the property until at least 2017. If Las Vegas Sands decides to sell its property after 2017, the sale must be approved by the Singaporean government. This significantly reduces the chances of LVS recuperating some of the investments in Singaporean real estate.[3]

Competition
Las Vegas Sands faces intense competition in both Las Vegas and Macao. The company’s primary competitors in both markets include Wynn Resorts and MGM Mirage, both of which operate in the Las Vegas and Macao markets. LVS also faces competition from privately-held Harrah’s Entertainment, Boyd Gaming, and Native American casinos.
- Wynn Resorts: Develops luxury casino resorts and operates the Wynn Las Vegas, Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, and Wynn Macau.[4]
- MGM Mirage: Operates casino resorts, golf courses, and golf clubs in the United States.[5] MGM has a strategic alliance with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, owner of Foxwoods Casino Resort in Ledyard, Connecticut.[5]
- Boyd Gaming: Boyd Gaming owns and operates 16 casinos in Nevada, Mississippi, Illinois, Louisiana, Indiana and Florida. They are also a 50% partner in The Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City. Unlike other Casino operators such as Wynn Resorts (WYNN) or Las Vegas Sands (LVS) who tend to focus on higher end tourists, Boyd typically caters to the middle-income customer. Their Las Vegas properties also differ in that they target local Las Vegas residents, one of the strongest and fastest-growing gaming segments, and Hawaiian tourists
- Harrah's Entertainment: A gaming company that owns and operates under the Harrah's, Caesars and Horseshoe brand names.[6] It also owns the London Clubs International family of casinos and the World Series of Poker.
