Sands China Celebrates Milestone 1,100,000,000th Guest

In a significant milestone, Sands China, a prominent operator of casino hotels in Macau, welcomed its 1.1 billionth guest on the 18th anniversary of The Venetian Macau. The event was attended by Wilfred Wong Ying Wai, executive vice chairman of Sands China, and Grant Chum, the company's chief executive officer and executive director.

Sands China manages six casino hotels in Macau: Sands Macao, The Plaza Macao, The Londoner Macao (formerly Sands Cotai Central), The Parisian Macao, and The Venetian Macau. Together, these hotels have provided employment opportunities for approximately 27,000 people.

The 1.1 billionth guest's visit was marked with gratitude from Wong, who praised Sands China's achievement. He stated that surpassing this number cements their position as a leader in Macau's gaming industry and highlights the region's rapid economic growth. Wong also expressed appreciation towards the government's support in developing the tourism sector, the efforts of the hard-working Sands China team, and the support of over 2,500 suppliers.

Meanwhile, in the world of entertainment, Colin Farrell is set to star in an upcoming Netflix original production, "Ballad of a Small Player." This psychological thriller, set in the context of Macau's casinos, presents a darker exploration of life in the region. Farrell's character, Lord Doyle, is consumed by the thrill of high-stakes gambling, a theme that resonates with the film's title, "Ballad of a Small Player."

"Ballad of a Small Player" is not just a mere work of fiction; it also sheds light on the real-life issue of gambling addiction. This film, along with Sands China's milestone, serves as a reminder of the far-reaching impact of Macau's gaming industry.

Since its inception, Sands China has invested a total of $16.7 billion in Macau, contributing significantly to the region's development. The company, a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands, continues to play a pivotal role in Macau's tourism and gaming sector.

As Sands China celebrates this monumental achievement and gears up for the release of "Ballad of a Small Player," the spotlight remains on Macau, a city that continues to captivate the world with its unique blend of culture, entertainment, and gaming.
