Coronavirus will not halt Las Vegas Sands’ Macau projects

Work on converting Sands Cotai Central to The Londoner Macao and upgrading the Four Seasons and St Regis to continue despite virus outbreak.

Macau.- Las Vegas Sands has said the outbreak of Coronavirus will not impact its ongoing redevelopment projects on the Cotai Strip.

Current projects in Macau include converting Sands Cotai Central to The Londoner Macao and upgrading the Four Seasons and St Regis.

“We don’t anticipate any slowdown as a result of the virus. Obviously, it depends on what happens in Macau, but as we speak today we see no indication at all of that and we’re full speed ahead on all of our projects in Macau,” LVS President and COO, Rob Goldstein, said. 

“We’ve been through a lot of years of problems in Macau and Singapore and Las Vegas when things like this happen, and this storm will pass. We don’t know when. We do know when it passes, we will be first in line in each of our markets to be the biggest investor,” he added.
