(Macao, August 28, 2008) – One year after the hugely successful opening of Macao’s first truly integrated casino resort – The Venetian^® Macao – Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) today celebrated the opening of its second Cotai Strip^® property, the Four Seasons Hotel Macao. The celebration also marked the world premiere of Cirque du Soleil^®’s ZAiA™ at The Venetian Macao, and the official opening of the luxurious new Shoppes at Four Seasons.

The new Four Seasons Hotel Macao, which is owned by Las Vegas Sands Corp., but operated and managed by the world-renowned Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, features 360 beautifully appointed guestrooms and suites. It also includes several food and beverage offerings, an exquisite pool and garden area, and a variety of conference, banquet and business services and facilities.

“The arrival of the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, combined with the world-class retail brands of the Shoppes at Four Seasons, names like Gucci, Hermes, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and more, is a signal that a new era of luxury has arrived in Macao and that the Cotai Strip is ready to compete with the world’s top luxury destinations” said William Weidner, President and Chief Operating Officer of Las Vegas Sands Corp.

He also said that ZAiA, Cirque du Soleil’s first permanent production to open in Asia, further establishes Macao and Cotai Strip as a premier destination for world-class entertainment, especially when combined with the Cotai Strip^Ò CotaiArenaÔ, which has already hosted more than 120,000 spectators since opening last August and has featured international acts like Beyonce, Celine Dion and The Police.
