Sands China has celebrated the 20th anniversary of the opening of its first Macau resort, Sands Macao, at a lavish event outside the peninsula property on Thursday night.
It also hailed the US$15 billion the company has invested into the Macau SAR since, helping develop the city into a World Center of Tourism and Leisure, according to comments from Executive Vice Chairman, Dr Wilfred Wong.
Opened in May 2004, Sands Macao was the first foreign-owned casino in Macau with its stunning success – having famously repaid its US$265 million price tag in just nine months – paving the way for the industry’s explosive growth in the years to follow.
