Las Vegas Sands Names Madrid as Preferred
Location for European Development
Las Vegas, NV (September 7, 2012) — Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced today that it has
chosen Madrid, Spain as the preferred location to build an integrated resort development for the
European market. The company said it has now completed the first phase of its extensive due diligence
efforts and will move to the next phase of those activities, which will include among other things,
determination of size, scope, specific location, and financing options from the capital markets for the
project. The company has consistently said it will allocate approximately 25-35 percent equity for the
proposed development. The company added that the process is still very much in the early phases and
progress towards resolution of the current economic challenges within Europe will be an important
consideration.
“The regional government of Madrid has been a strong advocate for this potential development
and we are appreciative of the energy they have brought to this process,” continued Mr. Adelson.
“Barcelona is an outstanding tourism destination and choosing Madrid over Barcelona was not an easy
selection. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to the people both within the Barcelona
government and those who served as consultants or advisors to us there while we went through our
evaluation process.”
Mr. Adelson said that while the process in Spain plays out, the company will still continue to
aggressively focus on a variety of other development opportunities, specifically in the Asian countries of
Japan, Korea and Vietnam.
