Las Vegas Sands Leaving The Strip With Sale of Venetian Hotel, Expo Center

Las Vegas Sands Corp. is selling the hotel along with the Sands Expo and Convention Center for about $6.25 billion, the company announced this week. Robert Goldstein, the group’s chairman and chief executive officer, said while the Venetian “changed the face of future casino development,” the company now plans to shift its focus to its properties in Asia, including the famed Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
