LAS VEGAS, May 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) today announced it will donate $75,000 through Sands Cares to a capital campaign spearheaded by the Asian Community Development Council (ACDC) for establishment of a language bank and resource hotline to facilitate access to critical social services for the Filipino, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai communities in Southern Nevada.

Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd saw strong gaming earnings relative to the earlier part of the year, during the five-day holiday encompassing Labour Day on May 1, said brokerages Sanford C Bernstein Ltd, and Jefferies Hong Kong Ltd in respective Thursday memos, citing commentary from the gaming firm’s management.
The improvement was led by premium-mass play, and was accompanied by high levels of hotel occupancy, and strong sales in the luxury retail segment, said the institutions, in notes issued after highlights of Galaxy Entertainment’s first-quarter earnings were filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company’s flagship resort is Galaxy Macau, (pictured in a file photo) on Cotai.
Macau casino operator Sands China Ltd hopes to launch its Londoner Court facility at its Londoner Macao casino resort on Cotai “in phases” before October Golden Week this year, said the firm’s president Wilfred Wong Ying Wai (pictured) in comments to the media on Tuesday.
The Londoner Court is a 370-suite hotel facility on the site of the Londoner Macao, a revamped and rebranded version of the former Sands Cotai Central.
The Londoner Macao had its first-phase launch on February 8, ahead of the Chinese New Year break. The casino resort complex included a rebranded “Londoner Hotel”, with 600 suites, which has already been opened to paying customers on January 22.
