China – Las Vegas Sands opens The Parisian Macao

By - 15 September 2016

The US$2.7bn Parisian Macao opened its doors to the public for the first time on Tuesday, September 13 as the newest integrated resort from Sands China and parent company Las Vegas Sands.

The property, Sands’ fifth in Macau, opened with 212 baccarat tables in the mass gaming area and 22 in the VIP Ruby Room. The average minimum bet on the mass gaming tables was HK$953 (with 76 per cent of the tables priced at HK$1,000 whilst in the Ruby Room the average minimum bet was HK$2,591.

The opening celebration included pyrotechnics and a lightshow at The Parisian Macao’s half-scale authentic recreation of the Eiffel Tower, now a prominent feature on the Cotai skyline.

It represents the crowning achievement of company Chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson’s vision for the Cotai Strip.

“What started with a Venetian and now adds a Parisian to the family, the Cotai Strip has become one of the world’s greatest tourism marvels,” said Mr. Adelson. “Before our very eyes, Macao is making a similar transition to the one it took Las Vegas decades to make, evolving from a destination only suited for gaming customers, to an environment which still provides a safe and reputable gaming experience, but also offers a wide variety of activities, attractions and amenities for people of all backgrounds, income levels and interests.”

“No one has believed more, or invested more, in Macao’s future as a leisure and business destination,” Mr. Adelson continued. “We never wavered in our development plans, or our desire to serve as a model for the type of development which would help diversify Macao’s economy through the introduction and growth of important non-gaming attractions. I’m tremendously proud and honoured that our company made such a bold commitment to Macao and I will be forever grateful to the people of Macao and its leaders for the support they have shown us since even before we opened the Sands Macao in 2004.”

Sands China President Dr. Wilfred Wong added: “Sands China is a company with deep roots in Macao and we are very proud to be able to grow together with the city. Operating in Macao as an integrated resort developer has given Sands China the unique opportunity and privilege to contribute to the city’s transformation into a world center of tourism and leisure. We are incredibly thankful for the support our company has received over the years from the Macao SAR government, the vibrant and one-of-a-kind Macao community, and from our 30,000 team members.”
