NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OF COMPANY
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVSC), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries
(collectively the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2009. The year-end balance sheet data
was derived from audited financial statements, except as discussed below, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary
for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results
reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of expected results for the full year. The Companys common stock is traded on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol LVS.
In November 2009, the Companys newly formed subsidiary, Sands China Ltd. (SCL, the indirect
owner and operator of the majority of the Companys operations in the Macau Special Administrative
Region (Macau) of the Peoples Republic of China), completed an initial public offering by
listing its ordinary shares (the SCL Offering) on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong
Kong Limited. Immediately following the SCL Offering and several transactions consummated in
connection with such offering, the Company owned 70.3% of issued and outstanding ordinary shares of
SCL. The shares of SCL were not, and will not, be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent a registration under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or an applicable exception from such registration requirements.

featuring modern European ambience and design; and an expo and convention center of approximately
1.2 million square feet (the Sands Expo Center). These Las Vegas properties, situated on or near
the Las Vegas Strip, form an integrated resort with approximately 7,100 suites; approximately
225,000 square feet of gaming space; a meeting and conference facility of approximately 1.1 million
square feet; an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex located within The Venetian Las
Vegas of approximately 440,000 net leasable square feet (The Grand Canal Shoppes), which was sold
to GGP Limited Partnership (GGP) in 2004; and an enclosed retail and dining complex located
within The Palazzo of approximately 400,000 net leasable square feet (The Shoppes at The
Palazzo), which was sold to GGP in February 2008. See Note 3 Property and Equipment, Net
regarding the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo.
Pennsylvania
The Company is in the process of developing Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the Sands
Bethlehem), a gaming, hotel, retail and dining complex located on the site of the historic
Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands Bethlehem is also expected to be home to
the National Museum of Industrial History, an arts and cultural center, and the broadcast home of
the local PBS affiliate. The Company owns 86% of the economic interest of the gaming, hotel and
entertainment portion of the property through its ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC
and more than 35% of the economic interest of the retail portion of the property through its
ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail, LLC.

(UNAUDITED)
On May 22, 2009, the Company opened the casino component of Sands Bethlehem, which features
slot machines and several food and beverage offerings, as well as the parking garage and surface
parking. In April 2010, the Company recommenced construction of a 300-room hotel tower, which is
expected to open in the second quarter of 2011. In May 2010, the Company paid a $16.5 million table
game licensing fee and in July 2010 was issued its table games certificate by the Pennsylvania
Gaming Control Board and commenced table games operations. Construction activities on the remaining
components, which include an approximate 200,000-square-foot retail facility, a 50,000-square-foot
multipurpose event center and a variety of additional dining options, have been suspended
temporarily and are intended to recommence when capital markets and general economic conditions
improve and when the suspended components are able to be financed. As of June 30, 2010, the Company
has capitalized construction costs of $637.0 million for this project (including $17.7 million in
outstanding construction payables). The Company expects to spend approximately $55 million to
complete construction of the hotel tower, on furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) and other
costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above. The impact of the suspension
on the estimated overall cost of the projects remaining components is currently not determinable
with certainty.
Macau
The Company owns 70.3% of SCL, which includes the operations of the Sands Macao, The Venetian
Macao, Four Seasons Macao and other ancillary operations that support these properties, as further
discussed below. The Company operates the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a
20-year gaming subconcession.
The Company owns and operates the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macau. The
Sands Macao offers approximately 229,000 square feet of gaming space and a 289-suite hotel tower,
as well as several restaurants, VIP facilities, a theater and other high-end services and
amenities.
The Company also owns and operates The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (The Venetian Macao),
which anchors the Cotai StripTM, the Companys master-planned development of
integrated resort properties in Macau. With a theme similar to that of The Venetian Las Vegas, The
Venetian Macao includes a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately
550,000 square feet of gaming space; a 15,000-seat arena; an 1,800-seat theater; retail and dining
space of approximately 1.0 million square feet; and a convention center and meeting room complex of
approximately 1.2 million square feet.
The Company owns the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai StripTM (the Four
Seasons Hotel Macao), which features 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons
Hotels Inc. and is located adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. Connected to the Four
Seasons Hotel Macao, the Company owns and operates the Plaza Casino (together with the Four Seasons
Hotel Macao, the Four Seasons Macao), which features approximately 70,000 square feet of gaming
space; 19 Paiza mansions; retail space of approximately 211,000 square feet, which is connected to
the mall at The Venetian Macao; several food and beverage offerings; and conference, banquet and
other facilities. This integrated resort will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao,
Cotai StripTM (the Four Seasons Apartments), an apart-hotel tower that
consists of approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury
apart-hotel units and common areas. The Company has completed the structural work of the tower and
expects to subsequently monetize units within the Four Seasons Apartments subject to market
conditions and obtaining the necessary government approvals. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has
capitalized construction costs of $1.06 billion for the entire project (including $27.4 million in
outstanding construction payables). The Company expects to spend approximately $145 million
primarily on additional costs to complete the Four Seasons Apartments, including FF&E, pre-opening
costs and additional land premiums, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above.
Singapore
The Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (MBS), entered into a
development agreement (the Development Agreement) with the Singapore Tourism Board (the STB) to
build and operate an integrated resort called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands,
portions of which opened on April 27, 2010, is expected to include three 55-story hotel towers
(totaling approximately 2,600 rooms and suites), the Sands SkyParkTM (which sits atop
the hotel towers and features swimming pools and several dining options), a casino, an enclosed
retail, dining and entertainment

(UNAUDITED)
complex of approximately 800,000 net leasable square feet, a
convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.3 million square feet, theaters and a
landmark iconic structure at the bay-front promenade that will contain an art/science museum. As of
June 30, 2010, the Company has capitalized 6.99 billion Singapore dollars (SGD, approximately
$5.04 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) in costs for this project, including
the land premium and SGD 739.3 million (approximately $532.9 million at exchange rates in effect on
June 30, 2010) in outstanding construction payables. The Company expects to spend approximately SGD
1.7 billion (approximately $1.2 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) through 2011
on additional costs to complete the construction of the integrated resort, FF&E, pre-opening and
other costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables, as noted above, of which approximately
SGD 1.0 billion (approximately $750 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) is
expected to be spent during 2010. As the Company has obtained Singapore-denominated financing and
primarily pays its costs in Singapore dollars, its exposure to foreign exchange gains and losses is
expected to be minimal. Based on its current development plan, the Company expects to progressively
open a majority of Marina Bay Sands throughout 2010.
Development Projects
Given the challenging conditions in the capital markets and the global economy and their
impact on the Companys ongoing operations, the Company revised its development plan to suspend
portions of its development projects and focus its development efforts on those projects with the
highest expected rates of return on invested capital. Should general economic conditions fail to
improve, if the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding such that completion of its
suspended projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or
a portion of the Companys investment to date on its suspended projects could be lost and would
result in an impairment charge. In addition, the Company may be subject to penalties under the
termination clauses in its construction contracts or termination rights under its management
contracts with certain hotel management companies.
United States
The Company was constructing a St. Regis-branded high-rise residential condominium tower, the
St. Regis Residences at The Venetian Palazzo (the St. Regis Residences), located on the Las Vegas
Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. As part of its revised development plan, the
Company suspended construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip
condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. The Company intends to
recommence construction when demand and conditions improve and expects that it will take
approximately 18 months thereafter to complete construction of the project. As of June 30, 2010,
the Company has capitalized construction costs of $175.8 million for this project. The impact of
the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with
certainty.
Macau
The Company submitted plans to the Macau government for its other Cotai Strip developments,
which represent three integrated resort developments, in addition to The Venetian Macao and Four
Seasons Macao, on an area of approximately 200 acres (which are referred to as parcels 3, 5 and 6,
and 7 and 8). Subject to the approval from the Macau government, the developments are expected to
include hotels, exhibition and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, shopping malls,
spas, restaurants, entertainment facilities and other amenities. The Company had commenced
construction or pre-construction on these developments and plans to operate the related gaming
areas under the Companys Macau gaming subconcession.
As part of its revised development plan, the Company is sequencing the construction of its
integrated resort development on parcels 5 and 6. Upon completion of phases I and II of the project,
the integrated resort is expected to feature approximately 6,000 hotel rooms, approximately
300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment
and dining facilities, exhibition and conference facilities and a multipurpose theater. Phase I of
the project is expected to include two hotel towers with approximately 3,700 hotel rooms to be
managed by Shangri-La International Hotel Management Limited (Shangri-La) under its
Shangri-La and Traders brands and Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co.
(collectively Starwood) under its Sheraton brand, as well as completion of the structural work of
an adjacent hotel tower with approximately 2,300 rooms to be managed by Starwood under its Sheraton
brand. Phase I will also include the gaming space,
9

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
(UNAUDITED)
theater and a partial opening of the retail and exhibition and conference facilities. The total cost to
complete phase I is expected to be approximately $1.9 billion. Phase II of the project includes
completion of the additional Sheraton hotel tower as well as the remaining retail facilities and
the total cost is expected to be approximately $235 million. Phase III of the project is expected
to include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower to be managed by Starwood under its St. Regis brand
and the total cost is expected to be approximately $450 million. In connection with the Company
entering into a $1.75 billion Venetian Orient Limited (VOL) credit facility (see Note 5
Long-term Debt VOL Credit Facility) to be used together with $500.0 million of proceeds from
the SCL Offering, the Company is mobilizing to recommence construction of phases I and II. The
Company expects that phase I will be completed in the third quarter of 2011 and that it will take
an additional six months thereafter to complete the adjacent Sheraton tower in phase II and an
additional 24 months thereafter to complete the remaining retail facilities in phase II. The
Company intends to commence construction of phase III of the project as demand and market
conditions warrant it. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has capitalized construction costs of
$1.78 billion for the entire project (including $139.6 million in outstanding construction
payables). The Companys management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain
construction deadlines and opening obligations on the Company and certain past and/or anticipated
delays, as described above, may represent a default under the respective agreements, which would
allow Starwood and Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. See Note 11
Commitments and Contingencies Other Agreements.
The Company had commenced pre-construction on parcels 7 and 8 and 3, and has capitalized
construction costs of $102.3 million for parcels 7 and 8 and $35.5 million for parcel 3 as of June
30, 2010. The Company intends to commence construction after the integrated resort on parcels 5 and
6 is complete, necessary government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic conditions
improve, future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained.
The impact of the delayed construction on the Companys previously estimated cost to complete
its Cotai Strip developments is currently not determinable with certainty. As of June 30, 2010, the
Company has capitalized an aggregate of $5.88 billion in costs for its Cotai Strip developments,
including The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, as well as the Companys investments in
transportation infrastructure, including its passenger ferry service operations. In addition to
receiving the $1.75 billion VOL credit facility for phases I and II of parcels 5 and 6, the Company
will need to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of its Cotai Strip developments and
there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain any of the additional financing
required.
Land concessions in Macau generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions
of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macau law. The Company has received a land concession
from the Macau government to build on parcels 1, 2 and 3, including the sites on which The Venetian
Macao (parcel 1) and Four Seasons Macao (parcel 2) are located. In November 2009, the Company made
an initial premium payment of 700.0 million patacas (approximately $87.3 million at exchange rates
in effect on June 30, 2010) for the land concession on parcels 5 and 6, which became effective in
May 2010 when it was published in Macaus Official Gazette. The Company does not own these land
sites in Macau; however, the land concession grants the Company exclusive use of the land. As
specified in the land concession, the Company is required to pay premiums for each parcel, which
are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concession by the Macau
government or in seven semi-annual installments (provided that the outstanding balance is due upon
the completion of the corresponding integrated resort), as well as annual rent for the term of the
land concession.
Under the Companys land concession for parcel 3, the Company was initially required to
complete the corresponding development by August 2011. The Macau government has granted the Company
a two-year extension to complete the development of parcel 3, which now must be completed by April
2013. The land concession for parcels 5 and 6 contains a similar requirement that the corresponding
development be completed by May 2014 (48 months from the date the land concession became
effective). The Company believes that if it is not able to complete the developments by the
respective deadlines, it will likely be able to obtain extensions from the Macau government;
however, no assurances can be given that additional extensions will be granted. If the Company is
unable to meet the deadlines and those deadlines are not extended, it could lose its land
concessions for parcels 3 and 5 and 6, which would prohibit the Company from operating any
facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Company could forfeit
all or a substantial portion of its $35.5 million and $1.78 billion in capitalized costs, as of
June 30, 2010, related to its developments on parcels 3 and 5 and 6, respectively.

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
(UNAUDITED)
The Company does not yet have all of the necessary Macau government approvals to develop its
planned Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. The Company has received land
concessions for parcels 3 and 5 and 6. Based on historical experience with the Macau government
with respect to the Companys land concessions for the Sands Macao and parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6,
management believes that the land concession for parcels 7 and 8 will be granted; however, if the
Company does not obtain land concession, the Company could forfeit all or a substantial portion of
its $102.3 million in capitalized costs, as of June 30, 2010, related to its development on parcels
7 and 8.
Other
When the current economic environment and access to capital improve, the Company may continue
exploring the possibility of developing and operating additional properties, including integrated
resorts, in additional Asian and U.S. jurisdictions, and in Europe.
Development Financing Strategy
Through June 30, 2010, the Company has funded its development projects primarily through
borrowings under its U.S., Macau and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds
from its recent equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.
The U.S. credit facility and FF&E facility require the Companys Las Vegas operations to
comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum
leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (Adjusted EBITDA). The maximum leverage
ratio is 6.0x for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, decreases to 5.5x for quarterly periods
ended September 30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods
thereafter through maturity. The Macau credit facility, as amended in August 2009, requires the
Companys Macau operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a
maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended September
30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through
maturity. The Company can elect to contribute up to $50 million and $20 million of cash on hand to
its Las Vegas and Macau operations, respectively, on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions
having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA by the corresponding amount during the applicable
quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the EBITDA
true-up). If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these
credit facilities, it would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under
the U.S. credit facilities would trigger a cross-default under the Companys airplane financings,
which, if the respective lenders chose to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding under these
agreements, would result in a default under the Companys senior notes. A default under the Macau
credit facility would trigger a cross-default under the Companys ferry financing. Any defaults or
cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their
rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise
their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance
that the Company would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable
under such agreements, which could force the Company to restructure or alter its operations or debt
obligations.
In 2008, the Company completed a $475.0 million convertible senior notes offering and a
$2.1 billion common and preferred stock and warrants offering. In 2009, the Company completed a
$600.0 million exchangeable bond offering and its $2.5 billion SCL Offering. A portion of the
proceeds from these offerings was used in the U.S. to pay down $775.9 million under the revolving
portion of the U.S. credit facility in March 2010 and to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision
during the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010, and was contributed to
Las Vegas Sands, LLC (LVSLLC) to reduce its net debt in order to maintain compliance with the
maximum leverage ratio for the quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010.

TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
(UNAUDITED)
The Company held unrestricted and restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments of
approximately $3.69 billion and $96.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2010. The Company
believes that the cash and investments on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available
borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its revised development plan and
maintain compliance with the financial covenants of its U.S. and
Macau credit facilities. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to
evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. Subsequent to June 30,
2010, the Company began working on an amendment to its U.S. credit facility, which contemplates a
pay down of a portion of the outstanding balances of its term loans and a reduction of its
revolving credit facility commitments in exchange for the extension of maturities and other
modifications to the credit agreement intended to increase the Companys financial flexibility.
Additionally, in connection with the $1.75 billion VOL credit facility to be used together with
$500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, the Company is mobilizing to recommence
construction of phases I and II of the Companys Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued authoritative guidance
for variable interest entities (VIEs), which changes the approach to determining the primary
beneficiary of a VIE and requires companies to more frequently assess whether they must consolidate
VIEs. In December 2009, the FASB supplemented its authoritative guidance for VIEs, which
establishes new criteria for consolidation based on power to direct the activities of a VIE that
would significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of
the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the
VIE. The new guidance does not allow grandfathering of existing structures and is effective
January 1, 2010. The application of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys
financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 7 Variable Interest
Entities.
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which
requires new disclosures regarding significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value
measurements and gross presentation of activity within the reconciliation for Level 3 fair value
measurements. The guidance also clarifies existing requirements on the level of disaggregation and
required disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques for both recurring and nonrecurring
Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting
periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of gross presentation of Level 3
activity, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Companys financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 10 Fair Value Measurements for the
required disclosure.
In April 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for companies that generate revenue from
gaming activities that involve base jackpots, which requires companies to accrue for a liability
and charge a jackpot (or portion thereof) to revenue at the time the company has the obligation to
pay the jackpot. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or
after December 15, 2010. Base jackpots are currently not accrued for by the Company until it has
the obligation to pay such jackpots. As such, the application of this guidance will not have a
material effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Revision
In connection with the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2010, the Company revised its December 31, 2009, condensed consolidated balance sheet and
condensed consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income (loss) to appropriately
reflect the impact of the issuance of SCL shares upon its initial public offering. This revision
resulted in a $655.7 million increase in the noncontrolling interests balance with a corresponding
reduction to capital in excess of par value. The revision, which the Company determined is not
material, had no impact on total equity, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassification
The
Company reclassified its intangible assets, net of amortization, as of December
31, 2009, which was previously included in other assets, net, to conform to the current presentation (see Note 4 Intangible Assets, Net). The
reclassification had no effect on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
NOTE 2 INVESTMENTS
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, investments in securities are classified
as either held to maturity, trading or available for sale. Management determines the classification
of its investments at the time of purchase. The Companys securities are classified as held to
maturity, as the Company has positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity, and
are recorded at cost, which is equivalent to their fair value. As of June 30,
2010, the Company has $173.5 million in non-U.S. government fixed maturity investments, of
which $109.2 million and $64.3 million will mature in July and August 2010, respectively.

The $191.4 million in other construction in progress consists primarily of construction of the
St. Regis Residences, other projects in Las Vegas and at The Venetian Macao and Sands Macao.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company has received proceeds of $295.4 million from the sale of The
Shoppes at The Palazzo; however, the final purchase price will be determined in accordance with the
agreement between Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (VCR) and GGP based on net operating income (NOI)
of The Shoppes at The Palazzo calculated 30 months after the closing date of the sale, as defined
under the agreement and subject to certain later audit adjustments. In April 2009, GGP and its
subsidiary that owns The Shoppes at The Palazzo filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the Chapter 11 Cases). Additionally, given the economic and market
conditions facing retailers on a national and local level, tenants are facing economic challenges
that have had an effect, and may have a future effect, on the calculation of NOI. Approximately
$284.4 million of property and equipment (net of $27.0 million of accumulated depreciation), which
was sold to GGP, is included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2010. The
Company will continue to review the Chapter 11 Cases and the projected financial performance of the
tenants to be included in the NOI calculation, and will adjust the estimates of NOI and
capitalization rates as additional information is received. The Company may be required to record
further impairment charges in the future depending on changes in the projections. Based on GGPs
current financial condition, there can be no assurance that GGP will make its final payment.
The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment that the Company is leasing to
tenants as part of its Macau mall operations was $386.6 million and $60.0 million, respectively, as
of June 30, 2010. The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment that the Company
is leasing under capital lease arrangements is $28.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, as of
June 30, 2010.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and the three and six months ended June
30, 2009, the Company capitalized interest expense of $22.7 million, $42.3 million, $14.1 million

operations. If circumstances change, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge
related to these developments in the future.

In August 2007 and July 2010, the Company was issued a gaming license and certificate from the
Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board for its slots and table games operations at Sands Bethlehem,
respectively, which were acquired for $50.0 million and $16.5 million, respectively. The license
and certificate were determined to have indefinite lives and therefore, are not subject to
amortization. In April 2010, the Company was issued a gaming license from the Singapore Casino
Regulatory Authority (the CRA) for its gaming operations at Marina Bay Sands, which was acquired for SGD 37.5
million (approximately $27.0 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010). This license is
being amortized over its three-year term and is renewable upon
submitting a renewal application, paying the applicable license fee
and meeting the renewal requirements as determined by the CRA.

NOTE 7 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company consolidates any VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary and discloses
significant variable interests in VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary, if any, which
management determines such designation based on accounting standards for VIEs.
The Company has entered into various joint venture agreements with independent third parties.
The operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated by the Company due to the Companys
significant investment in these joint ventures, its power to direct the activities of the joint
ventures that would significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb
potentially significant losses or the rights to receive potentially significant benefits from these
joint ventures. In accordance with revised accounting standards, the Company evaluates its primary
beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and will assess the appropriateness of the VIEs status
when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis.
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Companys joint ventures had total assets of
$97.0 million and $105.6 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $72.6 million and
$75.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES
The Companys major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macau and Singapore. In the U.S., the
Company is currently under examination for years 2005 through 2008 and is subject to examination
for years after 2008. In Macau and Singapore, the Company is subject to examination for years after
2005. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change within
the next 12 months, due to the progression of ongoing examinations. An estimate of the amount of
possible changes cannot be made at this time. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for
its uncertain tax positions; however, there is no assurance that taxing authorities will not
propose adjustments that are different than the Companys expected outcome and impact the provision
for income taxes.
The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets of the Companys U.S.
operations and certain foreign jurisdictions and does not anticipate recording an income tax
benefit related to these deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the realization of deferred
tax assets based on accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period and will be able to
reduce the valuation allowance to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve
and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable.
The Company received a 5-year income tax exemption in Macau that exempts the Company from
paying corporate income tax on profits generated by gaming operations. The Company will continue to
benefit from this tax exemption through the end of 2013.
NOTE 9 STOCK-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION
Sands China Ltd. Equity Award Plan
The Companys subsidiary, SCL, adopted an equity award plan (the SCL Equity Plan) for grants
of options to purchase ordinary shares of SCL. The purpose of the SCL Equity Plan is to give SCL a
competitive edge in attracting, retaining and motivating employees, directors and consultants and
to provide SCL with a stock plan providing incentives directly related to increases in its
stockholder value. Subject to certain criteria as defined in the SCL Equity Plan, SCLs
subsidiaries or affiliates employees, directors or officers and many of its consultants are
eligible for awards under the SCL Equity Plan. The SCL Equity Plan provides for an aggregate of
804,786,508 shares of SCLs common stock to be available for awards, representing 10% of the
outstanding shares of the SCL Offering. The SCL Equity Plan has a term of ten years and no further
awards may be granted after the expiration of the term. SCLs compensation committee may grant
awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units, stock bonus awards, performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing. As
of June 30, 2010, there were 784,410,408 shares available for grant under the SCL Equity Plan.
Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price not less than (i) the closing price of
SCLs stock on the date of grant or (ii) the average closing price of SCLs stock for the five
business days immediately preceding the date of grant. The outstanding stock options generally vest
over four years and have ten-year contractual terms. Compensation cost for all stock option grants,
which all have graded vesting, is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized on a straight-line
basis over the awards respective requisite service periods. The Company estimates the fair value
of stock options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on
the historical volatilities from a selection of companies from SCLs peer group due to SCLs lack
of historical information. The Company used the simplified method for estimating expected option
life, as the options qualify as plain-vanilla options. The risk-free interest rate for periods
equal to the expected term of the stock option is based on the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Note rate in
effect at the time of grant.

NOTE 10 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance also
establishes a valuation hierarchy for inputs in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs (inputs that reflect the
Companys assumptions based upon the best information available in the circumstances) by requiring
that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar
assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that
are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are
unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based
upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table provides the assets carried at fair value (in thousands):

NOTE 11 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is involved in other litigation in addition to those noted below, arising in the
normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs
based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates;
however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect
on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Macau Operations
On October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited filed an action against
LVSC, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (LVSI), Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner in the District
Court of Clark County, Nevada, asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of
$5.0 million and 2.0% of the net profit from the Companys Macau resort operations to the
plaintiffs as well as other related claims. In March 2005, LVSC was dismissed as a party without
prejudice based on a stipulation to do so between the parties. Pursuant to an order filed March 16,
2006, plaintiffs fraud claims set forth in the first amended complaint were dismissed with
prejudice as against all defendants. The order also dismissed with prejudice the first amended
complaint against defendants Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. On May 24, 2008, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the amount of $43.8 million. On June 30, 2008, a judgment
was entered in this matter in the amount of $58.6 million (including pre-judgment interest). The
Company has appealed the verdict to the Nevada Supreme Court and the appeal has been fully briefed
by all parties. The Nevada Supreme Court has scheduled oral argument on the appeal for September 2,
2010. The Company believes that it has valid bases in law and fact to overturn or appeal the
verdict. As a result, the Company has concluded that it is not probable that it has incurred a loss
relating to this matter. The Company believes a range of possible loss, which cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time, is between zero and the amount of the judgment. Because the Company
believes that this potential loss is not probable or estimable, it has not recorded any reserves or
contingencies related to this legal matter. In the event that the Companys assumptions used to
evaluate this matter as neither probable nor estimable change in future periods, it will be
required to record a liability for an adverse outcome, which may include post judgment interest.
On February 5, 2007, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (AAEC) filed an
action against LVSI, VCR, Venetian Venture Development, William P. Weidner and David Friedman in
the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the District Court). The plaintiffs
assert (i) breach of contract by LVSI, VCR and Venetian Venture Development of an agreement under
which AAEC would work to obtain a gaming license in Macau and, if successful, AAEC would jointly
operate a casino, hotel and related facilities in Macau with Venetian Venture Development and
Venetian Venture Development would receive fees and a minority equity interest in the venture and
(ii) breach of fiduciary duties by all of the defendants. The plaintiffs have requested an
unspecified amount of actual, compensatory and punitive damages, and disgorgement of profits
related to the Companys Macau gaming license. The Company filed a motion to dismiss on July 11,
2007. On August 1, 2007, the District Court granted the defendants motion to dismiss the complaint
against all defendants without prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed this decision and subsequently,
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Circuit Court) decided that AAEC was not barred from
asserting claims that the written agreement was breached prior to its expiration on January 15,
2002. The Circuit Court remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings on
this issue and discovery has recently begun. The plaintiffs counsel filed a motion to withdraw
from representing the plaintiffs on December 15, 2009, and it was granted by the Magistrate on
January 12, 2010. On February 11, 2010, the Magistrate filed a recommendation that the case be
dismissed in the court docket. The plaintiffs had until February 28, 2010, to file any objections
thereto. None were filed and the District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the
case. The plaintiffs did not timely file an appeal of the District Courts order dismissing the
case and this matter has been closed.
On October 16, 2009, the Company received a letter from counsel to Far East Consortium
International Ltd. (FEC) notifying the Company that it may pursue various claims seeking, among
other things, monetary damages and an entitlement to an ownership interest in any development
projects on parcel 3 in Macau, which the Company will own and operate. The Company believes such
claims are based on a non-legally binding memorandum of agreement that expired by its terms in
2005. The Company intends to vigorously contest any claims or lawsuits that may be brought by FEC.

China Matters
The State Administration of Foreign Exchange in China (SAFE) regulates foreign currency
exchange transactions and other business dealings in China. SAFE has made inquiries and requested
and obtained documents relating to certain payments made by the Companys wholly foreign-owned
enterprises (WFOEs) to counterparties and other vendors in China. These WFOEs were established to
conduct non-gaming marketing activities in China and to create goodwill in China and Macau for the
Companys operations in Macau. SAFE recently preliminarily indicated that its investigation of
these matters was nearly complete and that it may impose a fine or penalty against the Companys
WFOEs, although it has not done so to date. The Company believes that the WFOEs complied with
then-applicable SAFE regulations in connection with these matters. The Company and the WFOEs will
continue to address this matter with SAFE and may contest any fine or penalty that may be
imposed. The Company does not believe that any fine or penalty that may be imposed on the WFOEs as
a result of these matters would have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Securities Litigation
On May 24, 2010, Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. filed a purported class action complaint in the United
States District Court for the District of Nevada, against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P.
Weidner. The complaint alleges that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or
approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press
releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 1, 2007 through November 6, 2008.
The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys
fees and costs. On June 15, 2010, a stipulated order was entered extending the time for the
defendants to respond to the complaint until after a lead plaintiff is appointed by the court and
an amended complaint is thereafter filed. This action is in a preliminary stage and management has
determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability
of the outcome of this matter. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.
On July 21, 2010, Wendell and Shirley Combs filed a purported class action complaint in the
United States District Court for the District of Nevada, against LVSC, Messrs Adelson, and Weidner.
The complaint alleges that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved
materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases,
investor conference calls and other means from June 13, 2007 through November 11, 2008. The
complaint, which is substantially similar to the matter discussed above, seeks, among other relief,
class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys fees and costs. This action is in a
preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently
unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter. The Company intends to defend
this matter vigorously.
Singapore Development Project
In August 2006, the Company entered into the Development Agreement with the STB, which
requires the Company to construct and operate the Marina Bay Sands in accordance with the Companys
proposal for the integrated resort and in accordance with the agreement. The Company entered into
the SGD 5.44 billion (approximately $3.92 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30,
2010) Singapore Credit Facility to fund a significant portion of the construction, operating and
other development costs of the Marina Bay Sands.
In December 2009, MBS signed a supplement to the Development Agreement with the STB, which
permits the Marina Bay Sands to open in stages throughout 2010 in accordance with an agreed upon
schedule. There are no financial consequences to MBS if it fails to meet the agreed upon schedule,
provided that the entire integrated resort is opened by December 31, 2011. If MBS fails to meet
this deadline, the STB will be entitled to draw on the SGD 192.6 million (approximately
$138.8 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) security deposit under the Singapore
Credit Facility.

Other Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La to manage hotels on the
Companys Cotai Strip parcels 5 and 6, and for Starwood to brand the serviced luxury apart-hotel
units located thereon. The management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain
construction and opening obligations and deadlines on the Company, and certain past and/or
anticipated delays may represent a default under the agreements, which would allow Starwood and
Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. The Company is mobilizing to recommence
construction on parcels 5 and 6 and is negotiating (or undertaking to negotiate) amendments to its
management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La to provide for new opening timelines.
Additionally, although the Companys agreement with Starwood related to the St. Regis Residences
has been terminated in connection with the suspension of the project, as part of the negotiations
in Macau, the Company is continuing its discussions with Starwood in relation to the branding of
the St. Regis Residences. If negotiations are unsuccessful and Starwood or Shangri-La exercises
their rights to terminate their agreements, the Company would have to find new managers and brands
for these projects. Such measures could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
NOTE 12 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Companys principal operating and developmental activities occur in three geographic
areas: United States, Macau and Singapore. The Company reviews the results of operations for each
of its key operating segments: The Venetian Las Vegas, which includes the Sands Expo Center; The
Palazzo; Sands Bethlehem; Sands Macao; The Venetian Macao; Four Seasons Macao; Other Asia
(comprised primarily of the Companys ferry operations and various other operations that are
ancillary to the Companys properties in Macau); and Marina Bay Sands. The Company also reviews
construction and development activities for each of its primary projects: The Venetian Las Vegas;
The Palazzo; Sands Bethlehem; Sands Macao; The Venetian Macao; Four Seasons Macao; Other Asia;
Marina Bay Sands; Other Development Projects (on Cotai Strip parcels 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8); and
Corporate and Other (comprised primarily of airplanes and the St. Regis Residences). The Venetian
Las Vegas and The Palazzo operating segments are managed as a single integrated resort and have
been aggregated as one reportable segment (the Las Vegas Operating Properties), considering their
similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of service and products, the regulatory
business environment of the operations within each segment and the Companys organizational and
management reporting structure. The information for the three months and six ended June 30, 2009,
has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The Companys segment information as
of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, is as follows (in thousands):

LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 13 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
LVSC is the obligor of the Senior Notes due 2015. LVSLLC, VCR, Mall Intermediate Holding
Company, LLC, Venetian Venture Development, Venetian Transport, LLC, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Lido
Intermediate Holding Company, LLC and Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC (collectively, the
Original Guarantors), have jointly and severally guaranteed the Senior Notes on a full and
unconditional basis. Effective May 2007, in conjunction with entering into the Senior Secured
Credit Facility, LVSC, the Original Guarantors and the trustee entered into a supplemental
indenture related to the Senior Notes, whereby the following subsidiaries were added as full and
unconditional guarantors on a joint and several basis: Sands Expo & Convention Center, Inc.
(formerly Interface Group-Nevada, Inc.), Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC, Sands Pennsylvania, Inc.,
Phase II Mall Holding, LLC and Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC (collectively with the Original
Guarantors, the Guarantor Subsidiaries). LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (LVS Nevada)
and LVS Management Services, LLC, newly formed subsidiaries, were added in September 2009 as full
and unconditional guarantors to the Senior Notes on a joint and several basis, and have been
included in the group of subsidiaries that is the Guarantor Subsidiaries. In November 2009,
Venetian Venture Development was merged with and into LVS Nevada, with LVS Nevada as the surviving
entity. The voting stock of all entities included as Guarantor Subsidiaries is 100% owned directly
or indirectly by Las Vegas Sands Corp. The noncontrolling interest amount included in the Guarantor
Subsidiaries condensed consolidating balance sheets is related to non-voting preferred stock of
one of the subsidiaries held by third parties.
In February 2008, all of the capital stock of Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC was sold to GGP
and in connection therewith, it was released as a guarantor under the Senior Notes. The sale is not
complete from an accounting perspective due to the Companys continuing involvement in the
transaction related to the completion of construction on the remainder of The Shoppes at The
Palazzo, certain activities to be performed on behalf of GGP and the uncertainty of the final sales
price. Certain of the assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows related to the
ownership and operation of the mall by Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC subsequent to the sale will
continue to be accounted for by the Guarantor Subsidiaries until the final sales price has been
determined, and therefore are included in the Guarantor Subsidiaries columns in the following
condensed consolidating financial information. As a result, net assets of $40.3 million (consisting
of $284.4 million of property and equipment, offset by $244.1 million of liabilities consisting
primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) and $47.0 million (consisting of $291.1 million of
property and equipment, offset by $244.1 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred
proceeds from the sale) as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, and a net loss
(consisting primarily of depreciation expense) of $3.7 million and $7.4 million for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $3.7 million and $6.2 million for the three and
six months ended June, 30 2009, respectively, related to the mall and are being accounted for by
the Guarantor Subsidiaries. These balances and amounts are not collateral for the Senior Notes and
should not be considered as credit support for the guarantees of the Senior Notes.

ITEM 2 |
|
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety
by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial
information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this Managements Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. See
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Operations
We view each of our casino properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in the
United States consist of The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (The Venetian Las Vegas), The Palazzo
Resort Hotel Casino (The Palazzo) and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the Sands Bethlehem).
The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo operating segments are managed as a single integrated resort
and have been aggregated into one reportable segment (the Las Vegas Operating Properties),
considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of service and
products, the regulatory business environment of the operations within each segment and our
organizational and management reporting structure. Our operating segments in the Macau Special
Administrative Region (Macau) of the Peoples Republic of China consist of the Sands Macao; The
Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (The Venetian Macao); the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai
StripTM and the Plaza Casino (collectively, the Four Seasons Macao); and
other ancillary operations in that region (Other Asia). Our operating segment in Singapore,
Marina Bay Sands, opened on April 27, 2010.
United States
Las Vegas
Our Las Vegas Operating Properties, situated on or near the Las Vegas Strip, consist of The
Venetian Las Vegas, a Renaissance Venice-themed resort; The Palazzo, a resort featuring modern
European ambience and design; and an expo and convention center of approximately 1.2 million square
feet (the Sands Expo Center). Our Las Vegas Operating Properties represent an integrated resort
with approximately 7,100 suites and approximately 225,000 square feet of gaming space. Our Las
Vegas Operating Properties also feature a meeting and conference facility of approximately
1.1 million square feet; Canyon Ranch SpaClub facilities; a Paiza ClubTM
offering services and amenities to premium customers, including luxurious VIP suites, spa
facilities and private VIP gaming room facilities; entertainment facilities; an enclosed retail,
dining and entertainment complex located within The Venetian Las Vegas of approximately 440,000 net
leasable square feet (The Grand Canal Shoppes), which was sold to GGP Limited Partnership (GGP)
in 2004; and an enclosed retail and dining complex located within The Palazzo of approximately
400,000 net leasable square feet (The Shoppes at The Palazzo), which was sold to GGP in February
2008. See Item 1 Financial Statements Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 Property and Equipment, Net regarding the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo.
Approximately 62.9% and 64.3% of gross revenue at our Las Vegas Operating Properties for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from room revenues, food and
beverage services, and other non-gaming sources, and 37.1% and 35.7%, respectively, was derived
from gaming activities. The percentage of non-gaming revenue reflects the integrated resorts
emphasis on the group convention and trade show business.
Pennsylvania
We are in the process of developing Sands Bethlehem, a gaming, hotel, retail and dining
complex located on the site of the historic Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands
Bethlehem is also expected to be home to the National Museum of Industrial History, an arts and
cultural center, and the broadcast home of the local PBS affiliate. We own 86% of the economic
interest of the gaming, hotel and entertainment portion of the property through our ownership
interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC and more than 35% of the economic interest of the retail
portion of the property through our ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail, LLC.
34
On May 22, 2009, we opened the casino component of Sands Bethlehem, which features slot
machines and several food and beverage offerings, as well as the parking garage and surface
parking. In April 2010, we recommenced construction of a 300-room hotel tower, which is expected to
open in the second quarter of 2011. In May 2010, we paid a $16.5 million table game licensing fee
and in July 2010, we were issued a gaming certificate by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board and
commenced table games operations. Construction activities on the remaining components, which
include an approximate 200,000-square-foot retail facility, a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose event
center and a variety of additional dining options, have been suspended temporarily and are intended
to recommence when capital markets and general economic conditions improve, and when the suspended
components are able to be financed. Approximately 91.1% and 89.6% of the gross revenue at Sands
Bethlehem for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and the period ended June 30, 2009, respectively,
was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from food and beverage services and
other non-gaming sources.
Macau
Sands China Ltd. (SCL) completed an initial public offering by listing its ordinary shares
(the SCL Offering) on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in November 2009.
We own 70.3% of SCL, which includes the operations of the Sands Macao, The Venetian Macao, Four
Seasons Macao and other ancillary operations that support these properties. We operate the gaming
areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.
We own and operate the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macau. The Sands Macao
includes approximately 229,000 square feet of gaming space; a 289-suite hotel tower; several
restaurants; a spacious Paiza Club; a theater and other high-end services and amenities.
Approximately 94.4% and 92.9% of the gross revenue at the Sands Macao for the six months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder primarily
derived from room revenues and food and beverage services.
We also own and operate The Venetian Macao, the anchor property of our master-planned
development of integrated resort properties that we refer to as the Cotai
StripTM in Macau. The Venetian Macao, with a theme similar to that of The
Venetian Las Vegas, features a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately
550,000 square feet of gaming space; approximately 1.0 million square feet of retail and dining
offerings; a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet; a
15,000-seat arena that has hosted a wide range of entertainment and sporting events; and an
1,800-seat theater that features an original production from Cirque du Soleil. Approximately 82.8%
and 81.6% of the gross revenue at The Venetian Macao for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from room
revenues and other non-gaming sources.
We own the Four Seasons Macao, which is located adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao.
The Four Seasons Macao is an integrated resort that features 360 rooms and suites managed and
operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc.; 19 Paiza mansions; approximately 70,000 square feet of gaming
space; retail space of approximately 211,000 square feet, which is connected to the mall at The
Venetian Macao; several food and beverage offerings; and conference, banquet and other facilities
operated by us. The property will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao, Cotai
StripTM (the Four Seasons Apartments), an apart-hotel tower that consists of
approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury apart-hotel
units and common areas. We have completed the structural work of the tower and expect to monetize
the units within the Four Seasons Apartments subject to market conditions and obtaining the
necessary government approvals. Approximately 85.5% and 72.0% of the gross revenue at the Four
Seasons Macao for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from
gaming activities, with the remainder primarily derived from mall revenues, room revenues and other
non-gaming sources.

Singapore
Our wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (MBS), entered into a development
agreement (the Development Agreement) with the Singapore Tourism Board (the STB) to build and
operate an integrated resort called Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands, portions of
which opened on April 27, 2010, is expected to include three 55-story hotel towers (with over 2,500
rooms and suites), the Sands SkyParkTM (which sits atop the hotel towers and features
swimming pools and several dining options), a casino, an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment
complex of approximately 800,000 net leasable square feet, a convention center and meeting room
complex of approximately 1.3 million square feet, theaters and a landmark iconic structure at the
bay-front promenade that will contain an art/science museum. As of June 30, 2010, we have
capitalized 6.99 billion Singapore dollars (SGD, approximately $5.04 billion at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) in
costs for this project, including the land premium and SGD 739.3 million (approximately
$532.9 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2010) in outstanding construction payables.
We expect to spend approximately SGD 1.7 billion (approximately $1.2 billion at exchange rates in
effect on June 30, 2010) through 2011 on additional costs to complete the construction of the
integrated resort, FF&E, pre-opening and other costs, and to pay outstanding construction payables,
as noted above, of which approximately SGD 1.0 billion (approximately $750 million at exchange
rates in effect on June 30, 2010) is expected to be spent during 2010. As we have obtained
Singapore-denominated financing and primarily pay our costs in Singapore dollars, our exposure to
foreign exchange gains and losses is expected to be minimal. Based on our current development plan,
we expect to progressively open a majority of Marina Bay Sands throughout 2010.
Development Projects
Given the challenging conditions in the capital markets and the global economy and their
impact on our ongoing operations, we revised our development plan to suspend portions of our
development projects and focus our development efforts on those projects with the highest expected
rates of return on invested capital. Should general economic conditions fail to improve, if we are
unable to obtain sufficient funding such that completion of our suspended projects is not probable,
or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or a portion of our investment to date
on our suspended projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge. In addition, we
may be subject to penalties under the termination clauses in our construction contracts or
termination rights under our management contracts with certain hotel management companies.
United States
We were constructing a St. Regis-branded high-rise residential condominium tower, the St.
Regis Residences at The Venetian Palazzo (the St. Regis Residences), located on the Las Vegas
Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. As part of our revised development plan, we
suspended our construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip
condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. We intend to recommence
construction when demand and conditions improve and expect that it will take approximately
18 months thereafter to complete construction of the project. As of June 30, 2010, we have
capitalized construction costs of $175.8 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on
the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.
Macau
We submitted plans to the Macau government for our other Cotai Strip developments, which
represent three integrated resort developments, in addition to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons
Macao, on an area of approximately 200 acres (which we refer to as parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and
8). Subject to the approval from the Macau government, the developments are expected to include
hotels, exhibition and conference facilities, gaming areas, showrooms, spas, dining, retail and
entertainment facilities and other amenities. We commenced construction or pre-construction on
these developments and plan to operate the related gaming areas under our Macau gaming
subconcession. In addition, we are completing the development of some public areas surrounding our
Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macau government. We currently intend to develop our other
Cotai Strip properties as follows:
|
|
|
Parcels 5 and 6 Under our revised development plan, we are sequencing the construction
of the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6. Upon completion of phases I and II of the
project, the integrated resort will feature approximately 6,000 luxury and mid-scale hotel
rooms, approximately 300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1.2 million square
feet of retail, entertainment and dining facilities, exhibition and conference facilities
and a multipurpose theater. Phase I of the project is expected to include two hotel towers
with approximately 3,700 |
36
|
|
|
hotel rooms to be managed by Shangri-La International Hotel
Management Limited (Shangri-La) under its Shangri-La and Traders brands and Sheraton
International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively Starwood) under its
Sheraton brand, as well as completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower with
approximately 2,300 rooms to be managed by Starwood under its Sheraton brand. Phase I will
also include the gaming space, theater and a partial opening of the retail and exhibition
and conference
facilities. The total cost to complete phase I is expected to be approximately $1.9 billion.
Phase II of the project includes completion of the additional Sheraton hotel tower as well as
the remaining retail facilities. The total cost to complete phase II is expected to be
approximately $235 million. Phase III of the project is expected to include a fourth hotel and
mixed-use tower to be managed by Starwood under its St. Regis brand. The total cost to
complete phase III is expected to be approximately $450 million. In connection with entering
into a $1.75 billion Venetian Orient Limited (VOL) credit facility to be used together with
$500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, we are mobilizing to recommence construction
of phases I and II. We expect that phase I will be completed in the third quarter of 2011, and
that it will take an additional six months thereafter to complete the adjacent Sheraton tower
in phase II and an additional 24 months thereafter to complete the remaining retail facilities
in phase II. We intend to commence construction of phase III of the project as demand and
market conditions warrant it. As of June 30, 2010, we have capitalized construction costs of
$1.78 billion for the entire project (including $139.6 million in outstanding construction
payables). Our management agreements with Starwood and Shangri-La impose certain construction
deadlines and opening obligations on us and certain past and/or anticipated delays, as
described above, may represent a default under the respective agreements, which would allow
Starwood and Shangri-La to terminate their respective agreements. We are currently negotiating
(or undertaking to negotiate) amendments to the management agreements with Starwood and
Shangri-La to provide for new opening timelines. |
|
|
|
|
Parcels 7 and 8 The integrated resort on parcels 7 and 8 is expected to be similar in
size and scope to the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6. We had commenced
pre-construction and have capitalized construction costs of $102.3 million as of June 30,
2010. We intend to commence construction after the integrated resorts on parcels 5 and 6 and
3 are complete, necessary government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic
conditions improve, future demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained. |
|
|
|
|
Parcel 3 The integrated resort on parcel 3 will be connected to The Venetian Macao and
Four Seasons Macao. The multi-hotel complex is intended to include a gaming area, a shopping
mall and serviced luxury apart-hotel units. We had commenced pre-construction and have
capitalized construction costs of $35.5 million as of June 30, 2010. We intend to commence
construction after the integrated resort on parcels 5 and 6 is complete, necessary
government approvals are obtained, regional and global economic conditions improve, future
demand warrants it and additional financing is obtained. |
The impact of the delayed construction on our previously estimated cost to complete our Cotai
Strip developments is currently not determinable with certainty. As of June 30, 2010, we have
capitalized an aggregate of $5.88 billion in construction costs for our Cotai Strip developments,
including The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, as well as our investments in transportation
infrastructure, including our passenger ferry service operations. In addition to receiving the
$1.75 billion VOL credit facility for phases I and II of parcels 5 and 6, we will need to arrange
additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments and there is no assurance
that we will be able to obtain any of the additional financing required.
Land concessions in Macau generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions
of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macau law. We have received a land concession from the
Macau government to build on parcels 1, 2 and 3, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao
(parcel 1) and Four Seasons Macao (parcel 2) are located. In November 2009, we made an initial
premium payment of 700.0 million patacas (approximately $87.3 million at exchange rates in effect
on June 30, 2010) for the land concession on parcels 5 and 6, which became effective in May 2010
when it was published in Macaus Official Gazette. We do not own these land sites in Macau;
however, the land concession grants us exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land
concession, we are required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single
lump sum upon acceptance of the land concession by the Macau government or in seven semi-annual
installments (provided that the outstanding balance is due upon the completion of the corresponding
integrated resort), as well as annual rent for the term of the land concession.
37
Under our land concession for parcel 3, we were initially required to complete the
corresponding development by August 2011. The Macau government has granted us a two-year extension
to complete the development of parcel 3, which now must be completed by April 2013. The land
concession for parcels 5 and 6 contains a similar requirement that the corresponding development be
completed by May 2014 (48 months from the date the land concession became effective). We believe
that if we are not able to complete the developments by the respective
deadlines, we will likely be able to obtain extensions from the Macau government; however, no
assurances can be given that additional extensions will be granted. If we are unable to meet the
deadlines and those deadlines are not extended, we could lose our land concessions for parcels 3
and 5 and 6, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the respective
land concessions. As a result, we could forfeit all or a substantial portion of the $35.5 million
and $1.78 billion in capitalized costs, as of June 30, 2010, related to our developments on parcels
3 and 5 and 6, respectively.
We do not yet have all of the necessary Macau government approvals to develop our planned
Cotai Strip developments on parcels 3, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8. We have received land concessions for
parcels 3 and 5 and 6. Based on historical experience with the Macau government with respect to our
land concessions for the Sands Macao and parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, management believes that the
land concession for parcels 7 and 8 will be granted; however, if we do not obtain the land
concession, we could forfeit all or a substantial portion of the $102.3 million in capitalized
costs, as of June 30, 2010, related to our development on parcels 7 and 8.
Other
When the current economic environment and access to capital improve, we may continue exploring
the possibility of developing and operating additional properties, including integrated resorts, in
additional Asian and U.S. jurisdictions, and in Europe.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to
make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues
and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are
based on historical information, information that is currently available to us and on various other
assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could
vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our financial condition
and results of operations. We believe that these critical accounting policies affect our more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial
statements. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presented
in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2010.
There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates in the six months ended June
30, 2010, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates
discussed in our 2009 Annual Report.

Operating Results
Key Operating Revenue Measurements
Operating revenues at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons
Macao and Marina Bay Sands are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which
affects the price that can be charged for hotel rooms and the volume of table games and slot
machine play. Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by
casino customers who visit the properties on a daily basis.
The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:
Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: Table games drop (drop) and slot handle
(handle) are volume measurements. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of drop or
handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Table games drop represents the
sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in
the table drop box. Slot handle is the gross amount wagered for the period cited. We view table
games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Based upon our mix
of table games, our table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before
discounts) of 18.3% and slot machines produce a statistical average hold percentage (calculated
before slot club cash incentives) generally between 6.0% and 7.0%. Actual win may vary from the
statistical average. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis, while approximately
62.3% of our table games play, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was conducted on a credit
basis.
Casino revenue measurements for Macau and Singapore: Macau and Singapore table games are
segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macau and Singapore markets convention: Rolling
Chip play (all VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume
measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume
measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop as previously described. Rolling Chip and
Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as the amounts wagered and lost are
substantially higher than the amounts dropped. Slot handle is the gross amount wagered for the
period cited.
We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a
percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents
the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the
casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games, our Rolling Chip win
percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 2.7% to 3.0% and our
Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 24.4%, 19.8% and
24.3% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao and Four Seasons Macao, respectively. Similar to Las
Vegas, our Macau slot machines produce a statistical average win percentage generally between 6.0%
and 7.0%. Actual win may vary from the statistical average. Generally, gaming is conducted on a
cash basis, with only 36.2% of our Macau table games play, for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
being conducted on a credit basis. This percentage is expected to increase as we increase the
credit extended to our premium players and gaming promoters for table games play. In Singapore,
35.9% of table games play, for the period ended June 30, 2010, was conducted on a credit basis.
This percentage is expected to increase as we increase the credit extended to our premium players
and as our operations ramp up at Marina Bay Sands.
Hotel revenue measurements: Hotel occupancy rate, which is the average percentage of
available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate, which is the average
price of occupied rooms per day, are used as performance indicators. Revenue per available room
represents a summary of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy. Because not all available
rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are normally higher than revenue per available room.
Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit may be re-sold
to walk-in guests. These rooms are considered to be occupied twice for statistical purposes due to
obtaining the original deposit and the walk-in guest revenue. In cases where a significant number
of rooms are resold, occupancy rates may be in excess of 100% and revenue per available room may be
higher than the average daily room rate.

Consolidated net revenues were $1.59 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an
increase of $535.8 million as compared to the $1.06 billion for the three months ended June 30,
2009. The increase in net revenues was driven by $216.4 million of net revenues at Marina Bay
Sands, which opened in April 2010, as well as increases across our Macau properties and Sands
Bethlehem, which opened in May 2009.
Casino revenues increased $496.2 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Of the increase, $286.6 million was attributable to our Macau operations driven by an increase in
Rolling Chip activity and $190.8 million was attributable to Marina Bay Sands. The following table

In our experience, average win percentages remain steady when measured over extended periods
of time, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical
variances that are associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.
Room revenues increased $28.8 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Room revenues increased at The Venetian Macao driven by increased visitation and at our Las Vegas
Operating Properties as room rates were reduced to increase visitation, as well as $9.7 million in
revenues attributable to Marina Bay Sands. The suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to
casino patrons on a complimentary basis. The following table summarizes the results of our room

30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to $13.4 million in revenues at Marina Bay Sands.
Convention, retail and other revenues increased $19.4 million as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to $12.5 million in revenues at Marina
Bay Sands and a $4.6 million increase at The Venetian Macao driven by an increase in mall revenues.

Operating expenses were $1.43 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of
$197.7 million as compared to $1.23 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase
in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the opening of Marina Bay Sands, increased
casino activity at our Macau operations and an increase in our depreciation and amortization
expense, partially offset by decreases due to a $151.2 million impairment charge and a $42.5
million legal settlement included in corporate expense that were recorded during the three months
ended June 30, 2009.
Casino expenses increased $258.5 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Of the increase, $148.0 million was due to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues
across all of our Macau operations and $73.0 million was attributable to Marina Bay Sands.
Room expenses increased $2.5 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, with
$3.2 million attributable to Marina Bay Sands, offset by decreases across our other properties
driven primarily by cost saving initiatives that were implemented during 2009.
42
The provision for doubtful accounts was $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010, compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was due to a
$5.5 million decrease in the provision for mall and other receivables driven by a higher provision
during the three months ended June 30, 2009, due to the economic conditions during 2009, offset by
a $3.5 million increase in provisions for gaming receivables driven by the increase in casino
activity. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors
specific to the customers who owe us money at any given time. We believe that the amount of our
provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit
standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.
General and administrative expenses increased $49.1 million as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2009. Of the increase, $36.2 million was attributable to Marina Bay Sands and $10.8
million was due to payroll-related expenses in Macau and Las Vegas.
Pre-opening expenses were $50.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to
$41.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. Pre-opening expense represents personnel
and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred.
Pre-opening expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010, were primarily related to activities
at Marina Bay Sands and costs associated with recommencing work on our Cotai Strip development on
parcels 5 and 6.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $27.1 million as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the opening of Marina Bay Sands,
which contributed $25.5 million.
Loss on disposal of assets was $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which
was due to the disposition of construction materials in Macau and Las Vegas.
Adjusted Property EBITDA
Adjusted property EBITDA is used by management as the primary measure of the operating
performance of our segments. Adjusted property EBITDA is net income (loss) attributable to Las
Vegas Sands Corp. before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, rental expense,
pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss, loss on
disposal of assets, interest, other income (expense), gain on early retirement of debt, income
taxes and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. The following table
summarizes information related to our segments (see Item 1 Financial Statements Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 12 Segment Information for discussion of
our operating segments and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income (loss)
attributable to Las Vegas Sands Corp.):

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macau properties increased $134.2 million as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2009, led by an increase of $82.9 million at The Venetian Macao. As
previously described, the increase across the properties was primarily attributable to a combined
increase in net revenues of $310.1 million, partially offset by an increase of $148.0 million in
gross win tax on increased casino revenues.
43
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties decreased $12.1 million as
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009. As previously described, the decrease was
primarily attributable to a decrease in net revenues of $15.7 million, offset by decreases in
expenses driven by our cost-cutting measures, which were implemented during 2009.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem, which opened in May 2009, and Marina Bay Sands,
which opened in April 2010, do not have a comparable prior-year period. Results of the operations
of Sands Bethlehem and Marina Bay Sands are as previously described.

Interest cost increased $20.7 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009,
resulting primarily from an increase in our weighted average interest rate. The increase in
interest cost was partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest primarily due to the
recommencement of construction activities on our Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Other Factors Effecting Earnings
Other expense was $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to other
income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The expense during the three
months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses in Macau and a
decrease in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements held in Macau and Singapore.
The gain on early retirement of debt of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010,
was related to the repurchase of $27.6 million of the outstanding principal of our senior notes.
Our effective income tax rate was 9.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as compared
to a beneficial tax rate of 23.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The effective income
tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflects the commencement of our Singapore
operations that are subject to a statutory tax rate of 17% and a zero percent tax rate from our
Macau gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macau, which is set to expire in 2013.
The non-realizable net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions unfavorably impacted our effective
income tax rate. A valuation allowance was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009, on the
net deferred tax assets of our U.S. operations. Management does not anticipate recording an income
tax benefit related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign
jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it
becomes more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to
reduce the valuation allowances.
The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $36.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2009. The net income during the three months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily
attributable to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Consolidated net revenues were $2.93 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an
increase of $791.6 million as compared to the $2.14 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
The increase in net revenues was driven by $216.4 million of net revenues at Marina Bay Sands,
which opened in April 2010, $103.2 million of net revenues at Sands Bethlehem, which opened in May
2009, as well as increases across our Macau properties.
Casino revenues increased $760.1 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Of
the increase, $461.7 million was attributable to our Macau operations driven by an increase in
Rolling Chip activity, as well as $190.8 million and $98.3 million in revenues attributable to
Marina Bay Sands and Sands Bethlehem, respectively. The following table summarizes the results of

In our experience, average win percentages remain steady when measured over extended periods
of time, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical
variances that are associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.
Room revenues increased $35.2 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Room
revenues increased at The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao as room rates were reduced to
increase visitation, as well as $9.7 million in revenues attributable to Marina Bay Sands. The
suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to casino patrons on a complimentary basis. The
following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Operating expenses were $2.62 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of
$347.9 million as compared to $2.27 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in
operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased casino activity and increases in general
and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by
decreases due to a $151.2 million impairment charge and a $42.5 million legal settlement included
in corporate expense that were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Casino expenses increased $404.2 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Of
the increase, $239.2 million was due to the 39.0% gross win tax on increased casino revenues across
all of our Macau operations, as well as $73.0 million and $70.0 million in expenses attributable to
Marina Bay Sands and Sands Bethlehem, respectively.
Room expenses decreased $1.6 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Expenses of $3.2 million were attributable to Marina Bay Sands, offset by decreases across our
other properties driven primarily by cost saving initiatives that were implemented during 2009.
The provision for doubtful accounts was $35.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
compared to $41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The decrease was due primarily to
a $6.8 million decrease in the provision for mall and other receivables driven by a higher
provision during the six months ended June 30, 2009, due to the economic conditions during 2009.
The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the
customers who owe us money at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for
doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards,
our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.
General and administrative expenses increased $54.1 million as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2009. Of the increase, $36.2 million was attributable to Marina Bay Sands, $10.9
million was attributable to Sands Bethlehem and $19.7 million was due to payroll-related expenses
in Macau and Las Vegas, offset by cost saving initiatives that were implemented during 2009.
Pre-opening expenses were $87.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to
$86.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Pre-opening expense represents personnel and
other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred.
Pre-opening expenses for the six months ended June 30,
2010, were primarily related to activities at Marina Bay Sands and costs associated with
recommencing work on our Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
47
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $40.9 million as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of the opening of Marina Bay Sands and a
full six months of depreciation expense at Sands Bethlehem, which contributed $26.2 million and
$10.7 million, respectively.
Loss on disposal of assets was $38.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which was
primarily due to the disposition of construction materials in Macau and Las Vegas.
Adjusted Property EBITDA
Adjusted property EBITDA is used by management as the primary measure of the operating
performance of our segments. Adjusted property EBITDA is net income (loss) attributable to Las
Vegas Sands Corp. before stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, rental expense,
pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment loss, loss on
disposal of assets, interest, other expense, gain on early retirement of debt, income taxes and net
(income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. The following table summarizes information
related to our segments (see Item 1 Financial Statements Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements Note 12 Segment Information for discussion of our operating segments
and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income (loss) attributable to Las Vegas
Sands Corp.):

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macau properties increased $218.7 million as compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2009, led by an increase of $131.3 million at The Venetian Macao. As
previously described, the increase across the properties was primarily attributable to a combined
increase in net revenues of $490.7 million, partially offset by an increase of $239.2 million in
gross win tax on increased casino revenues.
Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $3.4 million as
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to
decreases in expenses driven by our cost-cutting measures, which were implemented during 2009, of
which $17.1 million were payroll-related expenses, offset by a decrease in net revenues of $8.8
million.
Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem, which opened in May 2009, and Marina Bay Sands,
which opened in April 2010, do not have a comparable prior-year period. Results of the operations
of Sands Bethlehem and Marina Bay Sands are as previously described.

Interest cost increased $33.3 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009,
resulting from an increase in our weighted average long-term debt balance and weighted average
interest rate. The increase in interest cost was partially offset by an increase in capitalized
interest primarily due to Marina Bay Sands.
Other Factors Effecting Earnings
Other expense was $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $5.0
million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The expense during the six months ended June 30,
2010, was primarily attributable to foreign exchange losses in Macau and a decrease in the fair
value of our interest rate cap agreements held in Macau and Singapore.
The gain on early retirement of debt of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
was primarily related to the repurchase of $60.3 million of the outstanding principal of our senior
notes.
Our effective income tax rate was 14.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to
a beneficial tax rate of 20.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The effective income tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflects the commencement of our Singapore operations
that are subject to a statutory tax rate of 17% and a zero percent tax rate from our Macau gaming
operations due to our income tax exemption in Macau, which is set to expire in 2013. The
non-realizable net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions unfavorably impacted our effective
income tax rate. A valuation allowance was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2009, on the
net deferred tax assets of our U.S. operations. Management does not anticipate recording an income
tax benefit related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign
jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it
becomes more likely than not that these deferred tax assets are realizable, we will be able to
reduce the valuation allowances.
The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $67.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to a net loss of $3.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2009. The net income during the six months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily attributable to
the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Cash Flows Operating Activities
Table games play at our Las Vegas Operating Properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis
while table games play at our Macau and Singapore properties is generally conducted on a cash
basis. Slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. The retail hotel rooms business is
generally conducted on a cash basis, the group hotel rooms business is conducted on a cash and
credit basis, and banquet business is conducted primarily on a credit basis resulting in operating
cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net
cash generated from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010, increased $330.1
million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was attributable primarily
to the increase in our operating income and favorable changes in our working capital, primarily to
operations at Marina Bay Sands, during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Cash Flows Investing Activities
Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2010, totaled $1.13 billion, including
$963.7 million for construction and development activities in Singapore; $123.4 million for
construction and development activities in Macau (primarily for our other Cotai Strip
developments); $22.2 million for construction activities at Sands Bethlehem; and $18.0 million at
our Las Vegas Operating Properties and for corporate and other activities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we purchased $173.8 million of short-term
investments, which are classified as held-to-maturity and recorded at cost.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid $26.8 million for our Singapore gaming
license and $16.5 million for our Pennsylvania table games certificate.
Cash Flows Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash flows used in financing activities were
$765.8 million, which was primarily attributable to the repayments of $795.9 million of borrowings
under our U.S. senior secured credit facility and $375.0 million of borrowings under our Macau
credit facility, payments of $56.7 million to purchase our senior notes and dividends paid to
preferred stockholders of $46.7 million, offset by proceeds of $596.6 million under our Singapore
credit facility.
Development Financing Strategy
Through June 30, 2010, we have funded our development projects primarily through borrowings
under our U.S., Macau and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from our
recent equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.
The U.S. credit facility and FF&E facility require our Las Vegas operations to comply with
certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage
ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income
taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (Adjusted EBITDA). The maximum leverage ratio is
6.0x for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, decreases to 5.5x for the quarterly periods
ended September 30 and December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 5.0x for all quarterly periods
thereafter through maturity. The Macau credit facility, as amended in August 2009, requires our
Macau operations to comply with similar financial covenants, including maintaining a maximum
leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly
period ended June 30, 2010, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ended September 30 and
December 31, 2010, and then decreases to 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through
maturity. We can elect to contribute up to $50 million and $20 million of cash on hand to our Las
Vegas and Macau operations, respectively, on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions
50
having the
effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA by the corresponding amount during the applicable quarter for
purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the EBITDA true-up). If
we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we
would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit
facilities would trigger a cross-default under our airplane financings, which, if the respective
lenders chose to accelerate the indebtedness outstanding under these agreements, would result in a
default under our senior notes. A default under the Macau credit facility would trigger a
cross-default under our ferry financing. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements
would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their
respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of
the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that we would be able to repay or refinance
any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to
restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.
In 2008, we completed a $475.0 million convertible senior notes offering and a $2.1 billion
common and preferred stock and warrants offering. In 2009, we completed a $600.0 million
exchangeable bond offering and our $2.5 billion SCL Offering. A portion of the proceeds from these
offerings was used in the U.S. to pay down $775.9 million under the revolving portion of the U.S.
credit facility in March 2010 and to exercise the EBITDA true-up provision during the quarterly
periods ended September 30, 2009 and March 31, 2010, and was contributed to Las Vegas Sands, LLC to
reduce its net debt in order to maintain compliance with the maximum leverage ratio for the
quarterly periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, our U.S. leverage ratio
was 5.5x, compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowed of 6.0x, and our Macau leverage ratio was
2.1x, compared to the maximum leverage ratio allowed of 4.0x.
We held unrestricted and restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments of approximately
$3.69 billion and $96.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2010. We believe that the cash and
investments on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit
facilities will be sufficient to fund our revised development plan and maintain compliance with the
financial covenants of our U.S. and Macau credit facilities. In the normal course of our
activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements
thereof. Subsequent to June 30, 2010, we began working on an amendment to our U.S credit facility,
which contemplates a pay down of a portion of the outstanding balances of the term loans and a
reduction of the revolving credit facility commitments in exchange for the extension of maturities
and other modifications to the credit agreement intended to increase our financial flexibility.
Additionally, in connection with the $1.75 billion VOL credit facility to be used together with
$500.0 million of proceeds from the SCL Offering, we are mobilizing to recommence construction of
phases I and II of our Cotai Strip development on parcels 5 and 6.
Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2010, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and
other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, with the exception of borrowings of $637.1
million under our Singapore credit facility (which mature in March 2015 and include quarterly
payments commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2011, with the remaining principal due in
full upon maturity), a repayment of $775.9 million under the revolving portion of our senior
secured credit facility (which would have matured in May 2012 with no interim amortization), a
repayment of $350.0 million under the revolving portion of our Macau credit facility (which would
have matured in May 2011 with no interim amortization) and the repurchase of $60.3 million of the
outstanding principal of our senior notes (which would have matured in February 2015). Subsequent
to June 30, 2010, we drew down $750.0 million under the term loan of our VOL credit facility (which
matures in June 2015 and includes quarterly payments commencing with the quarter ending March 31,
2013, with the remaining principal due in full upon maturity) and paid down the remaining $129.6
million outstanding under the revolving portion of our Macau Credit Facility.
Restrictions on Distributions
We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and
membership interests of our subsidiaries. The debt instruments of our U.S., Macau and Singapore
subsidiaries contain certain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain
subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay
dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create
certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or
consolidations or sell our assets of our company without prior approval of the lenders or
noteholders.
51
Inflation
We believe that inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our sales,
revenues or income from continuing operations during the past year.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such
as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to
market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt, which we
attempt to manage through the use of interest rate cap agreements. We do not hold or issue
financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would
be considered speculative positions. Our derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of
interest rate cap agreements, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials
resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest
expense.
To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate cap agreements, we enter into
agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of
such agreements. Frequently, these institutions are also members of the bank group providing our
credit facilities, which management believes further minimizes the risk of nonperformance.
53
The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to
changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts and weighted
average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the
contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based
on June 30, 2010, LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with
the respective debt agreements. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is
the Companys reporting currency, for the years ending June 30:

(2) |
|
Based upon contractual interest rates for fixed rate indebtedness or
current LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR for variable-rate indebtedness. Based on
variable-rate debt levels as of June 30, 2010, an assumed 100 basis
point change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR would cause our annual interest
cost to change approximately $101.5 million. |

As of June 30, 2010, we have 31 interest rate cap agreements with an

Borrowings under the U.S. senior secured credit facility bear interest at our election, at
either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate plus a credit spread. The
revolving facility and term loans bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 0.5% per annum or
0.75% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.5% per annum or 1.75% per
annum, respectively, subject to downward adjustments based upon our credit rating. Borrowings under
the Macau credit facility, as amended, bear interest at our election, at either an adjusted
Eurodollar rate (or in the case of the local term loan, adjusted HIBOR) plus 4.5% per annum or at
an alternative base rate plus 3.5% per annum. Applicable spreads under the Macau revolving facility
and the local term loan are subject to a downward adjustment if certain consolidated leverage
ratios are satisfied. Borrowings under the Singapore credit facility bear interest at SOR plus a
spread of 2.25% per annum. Borrowings under the airplane financings bear interest at LIBOR plus
approximately 1.5% per annum. Borrowings under the ferry financing, as amended, bear interest at
HIBOR plus 2.5% per annum.
Foreign currency transaction losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $9.9 million
primarily due to U.S. denominated debt held in Macau. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S.
dollar/Macau pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of June 30, 2010, an assumed 1% change in
the U.S. dollar/Macau pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of
approximately $21.7 million. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign currencies; however, we
maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have
obligations; thereby, reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e)) of the Company as of June 30, 2010, and have concluded that they are effective at the
reasonable assurance level.
54
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In
addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems,
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The only change in our Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had a material effect, or
were reasonably likely to have a material effect, on the Companys internal control over financial
reporting, was the opening of Marina Bay Sands in April 2010. We have implemented controls and
procedures at Marina Bay Sands similar to those in effect at our other properties.
Part II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is party to litigation matters and claims related to its operations. For more
information, see the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and
Part I Item 1 Financial Statements Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies Litigation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The only change from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, is set forth below.
The bankruptcy filings of GGP and its subsidiary that owns The Shoppes at The Palazzo could have an
adverse effect on the results of operations or cash flows at our Las Vegas Operating Properties.
In April 2009, GGP and its subsidiary that owns The Shoppes at The Palazzo filed the Chapter
11 Cases. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement for the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo, a
calculation will be performed during the third quarter of 2010 (on the 30-month anniversary of the
closing date) to determine whether additional amounts are owed to the Company. To date, the Company
has received sale proceeds of $295.4 million. Should additional amounts be contractually owed to
the Company, there can be no assurance that GGP will have the financial ability to make such a
payment based on GGPs current financial condition.
