  • 2010 Annual Report
    ellow Shareholders, I am pleased to present to you our 2010 Annual Report. Our company delivered outstanding financial results for the year 2010, achieving record revenues, operating income, adjusted property EBITDA and cash flows from operations for the year. In addition, we continued to fortify our position as the preeminent worldwide developer and operator of premium convention-based integrated resorts. The Venetian Macao welcomed more than 25 million visitors in 2010 and has been widely recognized as a leader in Macau’s transformation into a leading international business and leisure destination. We are pleased that each of our world-class properties in Macau generated strong growth and record revenues and cash flows from operations during the year. Looking ahead to future developments in Macau, parcels five and six comprise our largest integrated resort complex on the Cotai Strip to date. Although we have made significant progress on parcels five and six (Sands Cotai) our anticipated opening of phase I (parcel five) could slip to the first quarter of 2012 if we do not secure increases in our present construction labor force. The complex will feature gaming and entertainment, dining, retail and MICE (meeting, convention, incentive and exhibition) facilities as well as more than 6,000 rooms and suites from international hotel brands including Sheraton, Sheraton Towers and St. Regis. This development will be the last significant development in Macau for the forseeable future and will secure our position as the leading operator in the world’s largest gaming market. On April 27th of 2010, we introduced Marina Bay Sands in Singapore to the world.
