Very Brief History

Sands Macau opened in May 2004.  They hired a good set-up team, mainly executives and managers with many years of previous experience in the land-based and ship-based casinos of Malaysia, Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.  They were familiar with Asian games, Asian practices, Asian play, and knew how to find and train good Asian staff.

They went with an open-plan interior design suited to the Asian clientele. They were successful from opening day and never looked back. All construction bonds were paid off by May 2005. Most of the original employees have been rewarded with multiple promotions, and managers have seen the value of their stock-options double or more.

In 2006, the casino completed an expansion increasing the casino from 165,000 sq. ft. to 229,000 sq. ft. The casino now contains around 740 table games.  This was the largest casino in the world until Las Vegas Sands opened the Venetian Macao on the Cotai Strip.
