Two of Macau’s locations have also recently been improved. In the Q4 2024 earnings, Sands announced that The Londoner now has 300 more hotel rooms, with more coming next year. The Venetian’s events arena will also be re-opening soon in November, with seats for thousands of people to enjoy concerts, sporting events, as well as providing space for conferences and trade shows.
Although Sands is still recovering from the impact of the pandemic, its Macau locations may have profited from Golden Week, one of China’s busiest tourism seasons.

According to the Macau Tourist Office, there were 917,500 visitors during the first six days of Golden Week.
