NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OF COMPANY

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (“LVSC”), a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year. The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “LVS.”

In November 2009, the Company’s subsidiary, Sands China Ltd. (“SCL,” the indirect owner and operator of the majority of the Company’s operations in the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China), completed an initial public offering by listing its ordinary shares (the “SCL Offering”) on The Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“SEHK”). Immediately following the SCL Offering and several transactions consummated in connection with such offering, the Company owned 70.3% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of SCL. The shares of SCL were not, and will not, be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. absent a registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an applicable exception from such registration requirements.

Operations

Macao

The Company currently owns 70.3% of SCL, which includes the operations of The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao, Sands Cotai Central and other ancillary operations that support these properties, as further discussed below. The Company operates the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.

The Company owns and operates The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”), which anchors the Cotai Strip, the Company’s master-planned development of integrated resort properties on an area of approximately 140 acres in Macao (consisting of parcels referred to as 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6). The Venetian Macao (located on parcel 1) includes a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately 534,000 square feet of gaming space; a 15,000-seat arena; an 1,800-seat theater; retail and dining space of approximately 1.0 million square feet; and a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet.

The Company owns the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip (the “Four Seasons Hotel Macao”), which features 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc. and is located adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. Connected to the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, the Company owns and operates the Plaza Casino (together with the Four Seasons Hotel Macao and located on parcel 2, the “Four Seasons Macao”), which features approximately 91,000 square feet of gaming space; 19 Paiza mansions; retail space of approximately 211,000 square feet, which is connected to the mall at The Venetian Macao; several food and beverage offerings; and conference, banquet and other facilities. This integrated resort will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip (the “Four Seasons Apartments”), an apart-hotel tower that consists of approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury apart-hotel units and common areas. The Company has completed the structural work of the tower and expects to monetize units within the Four Seasons Apartments after the necessary government approvals are obtained and future demand warrants it.

The Company owns and operates the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macao. The Sands Macao offers approximately 197,000 square feet of gaming space and a 289-suite hotel tower, as well as several restaurants, VIP facilities, a theater and other high-end services and amenities.

In April and September 2012, the Company opened phases I and IIA, respectively, of its Sands Cotai Central integrated resort (located on parcels 5 and 6), which is situated across the street from The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. Phase I consists of a hotel tower on parcel 5, which includes approximately 600 five-star rooms and suites under the Conrad brand and approximately 1,200 four-star rooms and suites under the Holiday Inn brand. Phase I also includes completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower, located on parcel 6, to be managed by Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively “Starwood”) under the Sheraton Towers brand; a variety of retail offerings; more than 300,000 square feet of meeting space; several food and beverage establishments; along with the 106,000-square-foot casino and VIP gaming areas.

Pennsylvania

The Company owns and operates the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the “Sands Bethlehem”), a gaming, hotel, retail and dining complex located on the site of the historic Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands Bethlehem features approximately 152,000 square feet of gaming space; a 300-room hotel tower, which opened in May 2011; a 150,000-square-foot retail facility, with a progressive opening that began in November 2011; an arts and cultural center; a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose event center, which opened in May 2012; and is the broadcast home of the local PBS affiliate. Sands Bethlehem is also expected to be home to the National Museum of Industrial History. The Company owns 86% of the economic interest in the gaming, hotel and entertainment portion of the property through its ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC and more than 35% of the economic interest in the retail portion of the property through its ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail LLC.

Development Projects

The Company has suspended portions of its development projects and should general economic conditions fail to improve, if the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding or applicable government approvals such that completion of its suspended projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or a portion of the Company’s investment to date on its suspended projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge.

Macao

The Company submitted plans to the Macao government for The Parisian Macao (formerly referred to as parcel 3), an integrated resort that will be connected to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. Subject to government approval, The Parisian Macao is intended to include a gaming area (to be operated under the Company’s Macao gaming subconcession), hotel and shopping mall. The Company expects the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao will be approximately $2.7 billion, inclusive of payments made for the land premium. The Company had commenced pre-construction activities and has capitalized costs of $106.8 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), as of September 30, 2012. The Company intends to commence construction after the necessary government approvals are obtained. In addition, the Company is completing the development of some public areas surrounding its Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macao government.

Under the Company’s land concession for Sands Cotai Central, the Company was required to complete the development by May 2014. The land concession for The Parisian Macao contains a similar requirement that the development initially be completed by August 2011, but the Company subsequently was granted an extension from the Macao government, which extended the deadline until April 2013. In July 2012, the Macao government granted the Company an additional extension, which now requires the development to be completed by April 2016. Should the Company determine that it is unable to complete the developments by their respective deadlines, the Company intends to apply for extensions from the Macao government; however, no assurances can be given that extensions will be granted. If the Company is unable to meet these deadlines and the deadlines are not extended, it could lose its land concessions for Sands Cotai Central or The Parisian Macao, which would prohibit the Company from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, the Company could record a charge for all or some portion of its $3.81 billion or $106.8 million in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of September 30, 2012, related to Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao, respectively.

The Company was constructing a high-rise residential condominium tower (the “Las Vegas Condo Tower”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. The Company suspended construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. The Company intends to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has capitalized construction costs of $178.9 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.

Other

The Company continues to aggressively pursue a variety of new development opportunities around the world.

Development Financing Strategy

Through September 30, 2012, the Company has funded its development projects primarily through borrowings under its U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from its equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility, as amended in August 2010, requires the Company’s Las Vegas operations to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.0x for all quarterly periods through maturity. The Company can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to its Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). The Macao credit facility (the “2011 VML Credit Facility”) also requires the Company’s Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.5x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2013 through December 31, 2014, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending March 31 through December 31, 2015, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. The Singapore credit facility (the “2012 Singapore Credit Facility”), entered into in June 2012, requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarter ended September 30, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. If the Company is unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, it would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under the Company’s airplane financings. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force the Company to restructure or alter its operations or debt obligations.

The Company held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.75 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.9 million as of September 30, 2012. The Company believes that the cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under its credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its development projects currently under construction and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of its U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities. In the normal course of its activities, the Company will continue to evaluate its capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. In November 2011, the Company completed its $3.7 billion 2011 VML Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Macao credit facilities, as well as to continue to fund the development, construction and completion of certain components of Sands Cotai Central. In June 2012, the Company entered into its 5.1 billion Singapore dollar (“SGD,” approximately $4.16 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2012) 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility (see “— Note 3 — Long-term Debt — 2012 Singapore Credit Facility”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that is intended to align the principles for fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements under GAAP and international financial reporting standards. The guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements by requiring an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance also eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The guidance was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. See the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the required presentation.

In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that is intended to simplify testing indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill for impairment. The revised standard allows companies to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary. An entity is not required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test unless the entity determines that it is “more-likely-than-not” that the asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for interim and annual impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The $415.1 million in other construction in progress consists primarily of construction of the Las Vegas Condo Tower and The Parisian Macao.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo has not been accounted for as a sale because the Company’s participation in certain future revenues constitutes continuing involvement in The Shoppes at The Palazzo. Therefore, $266.2 million of the proceeds allocated to the mall sale transaction has been recorded as deferred proceeds (a long-term financing obligation), which will accrue interest at an imputed rate and will be offset by (i) imputed rental income and (ii) rent payments made to GGP related to spaces leased back from GGP by the Company. The property and equipment legally sold to GGP totaling $254.1 million (net of $57.3 million of accumulated depreciation) as of September 30, 2012, will continue to be recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and will continue to be depreciated in the Company’s condensed consolidated income statement.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized interest expense of $9.9 million, $44.3 million, $34.9 million and $97.3 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company capitalized approximately $4.8 million, $13.2 million, $3.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively, of internal costs, consisting primarily of compensation expense for individuals directly involved with the development and construction of property.

The Company had commenced pre-construction activities on its Cotai Strip development referred to as parcels 7 and 8. During December 2010, the Company received notice from the Macao government that its application for a land concession for parcels 7 and 8 was not approved and the Company applied to the Chief Executive of Macao for an executive review of the decision. In January 2011, the Company filed a judicial appeal with the Court of Second Instance in Macao. In May 2012, the Company withdrew its appeal and recorded an impairment loss of $100.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, related to the capitalized construction costs of its development on parcels 7 and 8.

The Company also recorded a one-time impairment loss of $42.9 million related to the termination of the ZAiA show at The Venetian Macao during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The Company suspended portions of its development projects. As described in “— Note 1 — Organization and Business of Company — Development Projects,” the Company may be required to record an impairment charge related to these developments in the future.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had SGD 493.3 million (approximately $402.5 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2012) available for borrowing, net of outstanding letters of credit.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 39,070 warrants were exercised to purchase an aggregate of 655,496 shares of the Company’s common stock at $6.00 per share and $3.9 million in cash was received as settlement of the warrant exercise price.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, holders of preferred stock exercised 1,258,120 warrants to purchase an aggregate of 20,968,703 shares of the Company’s common stock at $6.00 per share and tendered 1,161,500 shares of preferred stock and $9.7 million in cash as settlement of the warrant exercise price. In conjunction with certain of these transactions, the Company paid $16.5 million in premiums to induce the exercise of warrants with settlement through tendering preferred stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company also repurchased and retired 581,629 shares of preferred stock for $64.9 million and recorded a $31.6 million repurchase premium as part of the transaction.

Common Stock Dividends

On March 30, June 29 and September 28, 2012, the Company paid a dividend of $0.25 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $617.4 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $323.5 million related to the Principal Stockholder’s family). Of this amount, approximately $1.4 million has been recorded as a liability as of September 30, 2012, which will be paid to holders of unvested restricted stock and stock units upon vesting.

In October 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $206 million) to be paid on December 28, 2012, to shareholders of record on December 20, 2012.

Other Equity Transactions

In July 2012, the Company purchased a Boeing 747 airplane from an entity controlled by the Principal Stockholder for $34.0 million, based on independent third party appraisals. In accordance with accounting standards regarding transactions between entities under common control, the Company recorded the cost of the airplane at the Principal Stockholder’s book value at the date of the transaction, which was $15.4 million. The $18.6 million difference between the amount paid and the book value of the airplane (a gain to the Principal Stockholder) was recorded as a deemed distribution to the Principal Stockholder.

The Company believes that the purchase of the airplane allows it to meet the increased demand for high-end premium direct customer travel driven from the Company’s expanding global gaming operations and is an important component in creating the ultimate trans-Pacific transportation experience for its customers. The Company believes it would have been more costly to acquire the airplane in the open market due to the limited supply of similar aircraft with luxury features.

Noncontrolling Interests

On February 28 and June 22, 2012, SCL paid a dividend of 0.58 Hong Kong dollars per share (a total of $1.20 billion) to SCL shareholders (of which the Company retained $844.4 million). In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company distributed $7.6 million to certain of its noncontrolling interests.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, accumulated other comprehensive income consisted solely of foreign currency translation adjustments.

NOTE 5 — VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company consolidates any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which it is the primary beneficiary and discloses significant variable interests in VIEs of which it is not the primary beneficiary, if any, which management determines such designation based on accounting standards for VIEs.

The Company has entered into various joint venture agreements with independent third parties. The operations of these joint ventures have been consolidated by the Company due to the Company’s significant investment in these joint ventures, its power to direct the activities of the joint ventures that would significantly impact their economic performance and the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or the rights to receive potentially significant benefits from these joint ventures. The Company evaluates its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and will assess the appropriateness of the VIE’s status when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s joint ventures had total assets of $101.2 million and $108.4 million, respectively, and total liabilities of $105.7 million and $104.3 million, respectively.

NOTE 6 — INCOME TAXES

The Company’s major tax jurisdictions are the U.S., Macao and Singapore. In 2010 and 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued Revenue Agent’s Reports for tax years 2005 through 2008 and 2009, respectively, of which the Company is appealing certain adjustments proposed by the IRS. The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore is performing a compliance review of the Marina Bay Sands tax return for tax year 2010. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012, may decrease by a range of $0 to $17 million within the next twelve months primarily due to the possible settlement of matters presently under consideration at appeals in connection with the IRS audit of the Company’s 2005 through 2009 consolidated federal income tax returns. The Company is subject to examination for tax years after 2006 in Macao and Singapore and for tax years after 2009 in the U.S. The Company believes it has adequately reserved for its uncertain tax positions; however, there is no assurance that the taxing authorities will not propose adjustments that are different from the Company’s expected outcome and impact the provision for income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, certain wholly owned foreign subsidiaries paid dividends resulting in incremental U.S. taxable income. The receipt of the dividends did not result in a cash tax liability for the Company as the incremental U.S. taxable income was fully offset by the utilization of the U.S. federal net operating loss and the U.S. foreign tax credits generated as a result of the dividends. In addition, the dividends generated excess U.S. foreign tax credits that will be available to be carried forward to tax years beyond 2012. The Company recorded valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets of its U.S. operations and certain foreign jurisdictions. Management will reassess the realization of deferred tax assets based on the accounting standards for income taxes each reporting period. To the extent it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company will be able to reduce the valuation allowance.

The Company received a 5-year income tax exemption in Macao that exempts the Company from paying corporate income tax on profits generated by gaming operations. The Company will continue to benefit from this tax exemption through the end of 2013. During July 2012, Venetian Macau Limited (“VML”) requested an additional 5-year income tax exemption; however, there is no assurance that the Company will receive the extension. In February 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the Macao government, effective through the end of 2013 that provides for an annual payment of 14.4 million patacas (approximately $1.8 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2012) that is a substitution for a 12% tax otherwise due from VML shareholders on dividend distributions paid from VML gaming profits.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Under applicable accounting guidance, fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance also establishes a valuation hierarchy for inputs in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs (inputs market participants would use based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company) and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs (inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions based upon the best information available in the circumstances) by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table provides the assets carried at fair value (in thousands):


			Fair Value Measurements Using:
	Total Carrying Value		Quoted Market Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Litigation

The Company is involved in other litigation in addition to those noted below, arising in the normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel.

On October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited filed an action against LVSC, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (“LVSI”), Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of $5.0 million and 2.0% of the net profit from the Company’s Macao resort operations to the plaintiffs as well as other related claims. In March 2005, LVSC was dismissed as a party without prejudice based on a stipulation to do so between the parties. Pursuant to an order filed March 16, 2006, plaintiffs’ fraud claims set forth in the first amended complaint were dismissed with prejudice against all defendants. The order also dismissed with prejudice the first amended complaint against defendants Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. On May 24, 2008, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs in the amount of $43.8 million. On June 30, 2008, a judgment was entered in this matter in the amount of $58.6 million (including pre-judgment interest). The Company appealed the verdict to the Nevada Supreme Court. On November 17, 2010, the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the judgment and remanded the case to the District Court of Clark County for a new trial. In its decision reversing the monetary judgment against the Company, the Nevada Supreme Court also made several other rulings which may affect the outcome of the new trial, including overturning the pre-trial dismissal of the plaintiffs’ breach of contract claim and deciding several evidentiary matters, some of which confirmed and some of which overturned rulings made by the District Court of Clark County. On February 27, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a date of March 25, 2013, for the new trial. On June 22, 2012, the defendants filed a request to add experts and plaintiffs filed a motion seeking additional financial data as part of their discovery. The District Court of Clark County granted both requests. As such, the Company is unable at this time to determine the probability of the outcome or range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On October 20, 2010, Steven C. Jacobs, the former Chief Executive Officer of SCL, filed an action against LVSC and SCL in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, alleging breach of contract against LVSC and SCL and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and tortious discharge in violation of public policy against LVSC. On March 16, 2011, an amended complaint was filed, which added Sheldon G. Adelson as a defendant and alleged a claim of defamation per se against him, LVSC and SCL. On June 9, 2011, the District Court of Clark County dismissed the defamation claim and certified the decision as to Sheldon G. Adelson as a final judgment. On July 1, 2011, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal regarding the final judgment as to Sheldon G. Adelson. On August 26, 2011, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a writ of mandamus instructing the District Court of Clark County to hold an evidentiary hearing on whether personal jurisdiction exists over SCL and stayed the case until after the district court’s decision. On January 17, 2012, Mr. Jacobs filed his opening brief with the Supreme Court of Nevada regarding his appeal of the defamation claim against Mr. Adelson. On January 30, 2012, Mr. Adelson filed his reply to Mr. Jacobs’ opening brief. On March 8, 2012, the District Court of Clark County set a hearing date for the week of June 25-29, 2012, for the evidentiary hearing on personal jurisdiction over SCL. On May 24, 2012, the District Court of Clark County vacated the hearing date previously set for June 25-29 and set a status conference for June 28, 2012. At the June 28 status hearing, the District Court of Clark County set out a hearing schedule to resolve a discovery dispute and did not reset a date for the jurisdictional hearing. From September 10 to September 12, 2012, the Court held a hearing to determine the outcome of certain discovery disputes and issued an Order on September 14, 2012. In its Order, the Court fined LVSC $25,000 and, for the purposes of the jurisdictional discovery and evidentiary hearing, precluded the Defendants from relying on the Macao Data Privacy Act as an objection or defense under its discovery obligations. Mr. Jacobs is seeking unspecified damages. This action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On February 9, 2011, LVSC received a subpoena from the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting that the Company produce documents relating to its compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”). The Company has also been advised by the Department of Justice that it is conducting a similar investigation. It is the Company’s belief that the subpoena may have emanated from allegations contained in the lawsuit filed by Steven C. Jacobs described above. The Company is cooperating with the investigations. Based on proceedings to date, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

On May 24, 2010, Frank J. Fosbre, Jr. filed a purported class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada (the “U.S. District Court”), against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 1, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The complaint sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On July 21, 2010, Wendell and Shirley Combs filed a purported class action complaint in the U.S. District Court, against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson, and William P. Weidner. The complaint alleged that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from June 13, 2007 through November 11, 2008. The complaint, which was substantially similar to the Fosbre complaint, discussed above, sought, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 31, 2010, the U.S. District Court entered an order consolidating the Fosbre and Combs cases, and appointed lead plaintiffs and lead counsel. As such, the Fosbre and Combs cases are reported as one consolidated matter. On November 1, 2010, a purported class action amended complaint was filed in the consolidated action against LVSC, Sheldon G. Adelson and William P. Weidner. The amended complaint alleges that LVSC, through the individual defendants, disseminated or approved materially false and misleading information, or failed to disclose material facts, through press releases, investor conference calls and other means from August 2, 2007 through November 6, 2008. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. On January 10, 2011, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint, which, on August 24, 2011, was granted in part, and denied in part, with the dismissal of certain allegations. On November 7, 2011, the defendants filed their answer to the allegations remaining in the amended complaint. On July 11, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued an order allowing Defendants’ Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Court’s Order dated August 24, 2011, striking additional portions of the plaintiff’s complaint and reducing the class period to a period of February 4 to November 6, 2008. On August 7, 2012, the plaintiff filed a purported class action second amended complaint (the “Second Amended Complaint”) seeking to expand their allegations back to a time period of 2007 (having previously been cut back to 2008 by the U.S. District Court) essentially alleging very similar matters that had been previously stricken by the U.S. District Court. On October 16, 2012, the defendants filed a new motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. The discovery process is ongoing. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

On March 9, 2011, Benyamin Kohanim filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Kohanim action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint alleges, among other things, breach of fiduciary duties in failing to properly implement, oversee and maintain internal controls to ensure compliance with the FCPA. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, including restitution and disgorgement of profits, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiff. On April 18, 2011, Ira J. Gaines, Sunshine Wire and Cable Defined Benefit Pension Plan Trust dated 1/1/92 and Peachtree Mortgage Ltd. filed a shareholder derivative action (the “Gaines action”) on behalf of the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, against Sheldon G. Adelson, Jason N. Ader, Irwin Chafetz, Charles D. Forman, George P. Koo, Michael A. Leven, Jeffrey H. Schwartz and Irwin A. Siegel, the members of the Board of Directors at the time. The complaint raises substantially similar claims as alleged in the Kohanim action. The complaint seeks to recover for the Company unspecified damages, and also seeks to recover attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses for the plaintiffs. The Kohanim and Gaines actions have been consolidated and are reported as one consolidated matter. On July 25, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a first verified amended consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs have twice agreed to stay the proceedings. A 120-day stay was entered by the court in October 2011. It was extended for another 90 days in February 2012 and expired in May 2012. The parties agreed to an extension of the May 2012 deadline that expired on October 30, 2012. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on November 1, 2012, based on the fact that the plaintiffs have suffered no damages. This consolidated action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

On January 19, 2012, Asian American Entertainment Corporation, Limited (“AAEC”) filed a claim (the “Macao action”) with the Macao Judicial Court (Tribunal Judicial de Base) against VML, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. (“LVS (Nevada)”), Las Vegas Sands, LLC (“LVSLLC”) and Venetian Casino Resort, LLC (“VCR,” and collectively, the “Defendants”). The claim is for 3.0 billion patacas (approximately $375.6 million at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2012) as compensation for damages resulting from the alleged breach of agreements entered into between AAEC and the Defendants for their joint presentation of a bid in response to the public tender held by the Macao government for the award of gaming concessions at the end of 2001. On July 4, 2012, the defendants filed their defense to the Macao action with the Macao Judicial Court. The Macao action is in a preliminary stage and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any. The Company intends to defend this matter vigorously.

As previously disclosed by the Company, on February 5, 2007, AAEC brought a similar claim (the “Prior Action”) in the U.S. District Court, against Las Vegas Sands Inc. (now known as Las Vegas Sands, LLC), VCR and Venetian Venture Development, LLC, which are subsidiaries of the Company, and William P. Weidner and David Friedman, who are former executives of the Company. The U.S. District Court entered an order on April 16, 2010, dismissing the Prior Action. On April 20, 2012, LVSLLC, VCR and LVS (Nevada) filed an injunctive action (the “Nevada Action”) against AAEC in the U.S. District Court seeking to enjoin AAEC from proceeding with the Macao Action based on AAEC’s filing, and the U.S. District Court’s dismissal, of the Prior Action. On June 14, 2012, the U.S. District Court issued an order that denied the motions requesting the Nevada Action, thereby effectively dismissing the Nevada Action.

On August 1, 2012, SCL filed an announcement with the SEHK stating that SCL’s subsidiary, VML, has received a notification from the Office for Personal Data Protection of the Macao government (the “OPDP”) indicating that the OPDP has launched an official investigation procedure in relation to the alleged transfer from Macao by VML to the United States of certain data. The Company intends to cooperate with the investigation. Based on proceedings to date, management is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of this matter or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

The Company has received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office requesting the production of documents relating to two prior customers of the Company’s properties.

NOTE 10 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s principal operating and developmental activities occur in three geographic areas: Macao, Singapore and the U.S. The Company reviews the results of operations for each of its operating segments: The Venetian Macao; Sands Macao; Four Seasons Macao; Sands Cotai Central; Other Asia (comprised primarily of the Company’s ferry operations and various other operations that are ancillary to the Company’s properties in Macao); Marina Bay Sands; The Venetian Las Vegas, which includes the Sands Expo Center; The Palazzo; and Sands Bethlehem. The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo operating segments are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated as one reportable segment (the “Las Vegas Operating Properties”), considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products, the regulatory business environment of the operations within each segment and the Company’s organizational and management reporting structure. The Company also reviews construction and development activities for each of its primary projects under development, some of which have been suspended, in addition to its reportable segments noted above. The Company’s primary projects under development are Sands Cotai Central (phases IIB and III) and The Parisian Macao (included in Other Development Projects) in Macao and the Las Vegas Condo Tower (included in Corporate and Other) in the U.S. Corporate and Other also includes the corporate activities of the Company.

NOTE 11 — CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

LVSLLC, VCR, Mall Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Venetian Transport, LLC, Venetian Marketing, Inc., Lido Intermediate Holding Company, LLC, Lido Casino Resort Holding Company, LLC, Sands Expo & Convention Center, Inc. (formerly Interface Group-Nevada, Inc.), Palazzo Condo Tower, LLC, Sands Pennsylvania, Inc., Phase II Mall Holding, LLC, LVS (Nevada) International Holdings, Inc. and LVS Management Services, LLC (collectively, the “Restricted Subsidiaries”), are all part of the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The noncontrolling interest amounts included in the Restricted Subsidiaries’ condensed consolidating financial information are related to non-voting preferred stock of one of the subsidiaries held by third parties.

In February 2008, all of the capital stock of Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC was sold to GGP; however, the sale is not complete from an accounting perspective due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the transaction related to the participation in certain future revenues earned by GGP. Certain of the assets, liabilities and operating results related to the ownership and operation of the mall by Phase II Mall Subsidiary, LLC subsequent to the sale will continue to be accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries, and therefore are included in the Restricted Subsidiaries columns in the following condensed consolidating financial information. As a result, net liabilities of $13.8 million (consisting of $254.1 million of property and equipment, offset by $267.9 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) and $3.0 million (consisting of $264.1 million of property and equipment, offset by $267.1 million of liabilities consisting primarily of deferred proceeds from the sale) as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and a net loss (consisting primarily of depreciation expense) of $3.8 million and $11.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $4.2 million and $15.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, related to the mall and are being accounted for by the Restricted Subsidiaries. These balances and amounts are not collateral for the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The Company revised its condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for nine months ended September 30, 2011, to correct the classification of dividends received by Las Vegas Sands Corp. from the Restricted Subsidiaries and the Restricted Subsidiaries from the non-restricted subsidiaries. The revisions were made to appropriately classify dividends received that represent a return on investment as an operating activity. The revisions resulted in increases of $85.3 million and $60.0 million to the “net cash generated from operating activities” of Las Vegas Sands Corp. and the Restricted Subsidiaries, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, with corresponding decreases to “net cash generated from investing activities.” These revisions, which the Company determined are not material, had no impact on any financial statements or footnotes, except for the Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Restricted Subsidiaries columns of the condensed consolidating statements of cash flows.

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements. See “— Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Operations

We view each of our casino properties as an operating segment. Our operating segments in the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”) of the People’s Republic of China consist of The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel (“The Venetian Macao”); the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip and the Plaza Casino (collectively, the “Four Seasons Macao”); the Sands Macao; Sands Cotai Central, which opened phases I and IIA in April and September 2012, respectively; and other ancillary operations in that region (“Other Asia”). Our operating segment in Singapore is the Marina Bay Sands. Our operating segments in the United States consist of The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino (“The Venetian Las Vegas”), The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino (“The Palazzo”) and the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem (the “Sands Bethlehem”). The Venetian Las Vegas and The Palazzo operating segments are managed as a single integrated resort and have been aggregated into one reportable segment (the “Las Vegas Operating Properties”), considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, types of services and products, the regulatory business environment of the operations within each segment and our organizational and management reporting structure.

Macao

We own 70.3% of Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”), which includes the operations of The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Macao, Sands Cotai Central and other ancillary operations that support these properties. We operate the gaming areas within these properties pursuant to a 20-year gaming subconcession.

We own and operate The Venetian Macao, which anchors the Cotai Strip, our master-planned development of integrated resort properties on an area of approximately 140 acres in Macao (consisting of parcels referred to as 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6). The Venetian Macao (located on parcel 1) includes a 39-floor luxury hotel with over 2,900 suites; approximately 534,000 square feet of gaming space; a 15,000-seat arena; an 1,800-seat theater; retail and dining space of approximately 1.0 million square feet; and a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet. Approximately 83.4% and 83.8% of the gross revenue at The Venetian Macao for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from room, mall, food and beverage and other non-gaming sources.

We own the Four Seasons Macao (located on parcel 2), which is adjacent and connected to The Venetian Macao. The Four Seasons Macao is an integrated resort that includes 360 rooms and suites managed and operated by Four Seasons Hotels Inc., and features 19 Paiza mansions; approximately 91,000 square feet of gaming space; retail space of approximately 211,000 square feet, which is connected to the mall at The Venetian Macao; several food and beverage offerings; and conference, banquet and other facilities operated by us. This integrated resort will also feature the Four Seasons Apartment Hotel Macao, Cotai Strip (the “Four Seasons Apartments”), an apart-hotel tower that consists of approximately 1.0 million square feet of Four Seasons-serviced and -branded luxury apart-hotel units and common areas. We have completed the structural work of the tower and expect to monetize units within the Four Seasons Apartments after the necessary government approvals are obtained and future demand warrants it. Approximately 87.3% and 83.0% of the gross revenue at the Four Seasons Macao for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily from mall and room operations.

We own and operate the Sands Macao, the first Las Vegas-style casino in Macao. The Sands Macao includes approximately 197,000 square feet of gaming space; a 289-suite hotel tower; several restaurants; VIP facilities; a theater and other high-end services and amenities. Approximately 94.6% and 94.5% of the gross revenue at the Sands Macao for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily from food and beverage operations.

In April and September 2012, we opened phases I and IIA, respectively, of our Sands Cotai Central integrated resort (located on parcels 5 and 6), which is situated across the street from The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. Phase I consists of a hotel tower on parcel 5, which includes approximately 600 five-star rooms and suites under the Conrad brand and approximately 1,200 four-star rooms and suites under the Holiday Inn brand. Phase I also includes completion of the structural work of an adjacent hotel tower, located on parcel 6, to be managed by Sheraton International Inc. and Sheraton Overseas Management Co. (collectively “Starwood”) under the Sheraton Towers brand; a variety of retail offerings; more than 300,000 square feet of meeting space; several food and beverage establishments; along with the 106,000-square-foot casino and VIP gaming areas. Phase IIA includes the first hotel tower on parcel 6, which features approximately 1,800 additional Sheraton-branded rooms, along with the second casino and the remaining retail, entertainment, dining and meeting facilities. Phase IIB, which is projected to open in the first quarter of 2013, consists of the second hotel tower on parcel 6 and will feature an additional 2,100 rooms and suites under the Sheraton Towers brand. Upon completion of phases I and II of the project, the integrated resort will feature approximately 300,000 square feet of gaming space, approximately 1.2 million square feet of retail, entertainment, dining and exhibition and conference facilities, and a multipurpose theater. The total cost to complete phase IIB is expected to be approximately $700 million. Phase III of the project is expected to include a fourth hotel and mixed-use tower, located on parcel 5, to be managed by Starwood under the St. Regis brand and the total cost to complete is expected to be approximately $450 million. We intend to commence construction of phase III of the project as demand and market conditions warrant it. As of September 30, 2012, we have capitalized costs of $3.81 billion for the entire project, including the land premium (net of amortization) and $229.6 million in outstanding construction payables. Approximately 88.0% of the gross revenue at Sands Cotai Central for the period ended September 30, 2012, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily from room and food and beverage operations.

Singapore

We own and operate the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, which features three 55-story hotel towers (with approximately 2,600 rooms and suites), the Sands SkyPark (which sits atop the hotel towers and features an infinity swimming pool and several dining options), approximately 160,000 square feet of gaming space, an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex of approximately 800,000 net leasable square feet, a convention center and meeting room complex of approximately 1.2 million square feet, theaters and a landmark iconic structure at the bay-front promenade that contains an art/science museum. Approximately 75.1% and 76.5% of the gross revenue at the Marina Bay Sands for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived from room, food and beverage, mall and other non-gaming sources.

United States

Las Vegas

Our Las Vegas Operating Properties, situated on or near the Las Vegas Strip, consist of The Venetian Las Vegas, a Renaissance Venice-themed resort; The Palazzo, a resort featuring modern European ambience and design; and an expo and convention center of approximately 1.2 million square feet (the “Sands Expo Center”). Our Las Vegas Operating Properties represent an integrated resort with approximately 7,100 suites and approximately 225,000 square feet of gaming space. Our Las Vegas Operating Properties also feature a meeting and conference facility of approximately 1.1 million square feet; Canyon Ranch SpaClub facilities; a Paiza Club, offering services and amenities to premium customers, including luxurious VIP suites, spa facilities and private VIP gaming room facilities; entertainment facilities and enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complexes located within The Venetian Las Vegas (“The Grand Canal Shoppes”) and The Palazzo (“The Shoppes at The Palazzo”), both of which were sold to GGP Limited Partnership (“GGP”). See “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Property and Equipment, Net” regarding the sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo.

Approximately 62.8% and 70.0% of gross revenue at our Las Vegas Operating Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from room, food and beverage and other non-gaming sources, with the remainder derived from gaming activities. The percentage of non-gaming revenue reflects the integrated resort’s emphasis on the group convention and trade show business.

Pennsylvania

We own and operate the Sands Bethlehem, a gaming, hotel, retail and dining complex located on the site of the historic Bethlehem Steel Works in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sands Bethlehem currently features approximately 152,000 square feet of gaming space; a 300-room hotel tower, which opened in May 2011; a 150,000-square-foot retail facility, with a progressive opening that began in November 2011; an arts and cultural center; a 50,000-square-foot multipurpose event center, which opened in May 2012; and is the broadcast home of the local PBS affiliate. Sands Bethlehem is also expected to be home to the National Museum of Industrial History. We own 86% of the economic interest in the gaming, hotel and entertainment portion of the property through our ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Gaming LLC and more than 35% of the economic interest in the retail portion of the property through our ownership interest in Sands Bethworks Retail LLC. Approximately 88.7% and 90.3% of the gross revenue at Sands Bethlehem for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, was derived from gaming activities, with the remainder derived primarily from food and beverage and other non-gaming sources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and judgments are based on historical information, information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We believe that these critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. For a discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” presented in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 29, 2012.

There were no newly identified significant accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, nor were there any material changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our 2011 Annual Report.

Operating Results

Key Operating Revenue Measurements

Operating revenues at The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao, Sands Cotai Central, Marina Bay Sands and our Las Vegas Operating Properties are dependent upon the volume of customers who stay at the hotel, which affects the price that can be charged for hotel rooms and the volume of table games and slot machine play (including similar electronic gaming devices). Operating revenues at Sands Macao and Sands Bethlehem are principally driven by casino customers who visit the properties on a daily basis.

The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenues:

Casino revenue measurements for Macao and Singapore: Macao and Singapore table games are segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macao and Singapore markets’ convention: Rolling Chip play (all VIP players) and Non-Rolling Chip play (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is non-negotiable gaming chips wagered and lost. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip play is table games drop (“drop”), which is the sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in the table drop box. Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip volume measurements are not comparable as the amounts wagered and lost are substantially higher than the amounts dropped. Slot handle (“handle”), also a volume measurement, is the gross amount wagered for the period cited.

We view Rolling Chip win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of slot handle. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games, our Rolling Chip win percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) is expected to be 2.7% to 3.0% and has produced a trailing 12-month win percentage of 2.88% and 2.79% at our combined Macao operating properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our Non-Rolling Chip table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 30.2%, 20.8%, 40.4% and 23.1% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 5.4%, 4.4%, 5.1% and 5.3% at The Venetian Macao, Sands Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Marina Bay Sands, respectively. Actual win may vary from the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. Generally, slot machine play is conducted on a cash basis. In Macao and Singapore, 32.1% and 33.9%, respectively, of our table games play was conducted on a credit basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Casino revenue measurements for the U.S.: The volume measurements in the U.S. are table games drop and slot handle, as previously described. We view table games win as a percentage of drop and slot hold as a percentage of handle. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games have produced a trailing 12-month win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 22.1% and 15.0% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Our slot machines have produced a trailing 12-month hold percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) of 8.7% and 7.2% at our Las Vegas Operating Properties and at Sands Bethlehem, respectively. Actual win may vary from the trailing 12-month win and hold percentages. As in Macao and Singapore, slot machine play is generally conducted on a cash basis. Approximately 73.4% of our table games play in Las Vegas, for nine months ended September 30, 2012, was conducted on a credit basis, while our table games play in Pennsylvania is primarily conducted on a cash basis.

Hotel revenue measurements: Performance indicators used are occupancy rate, which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. The calculations of the hotel occupancy and average daily room rates include the impact of rooms provided on a complimentary basis. Complimentary room rates are determined based on an analysis of retail, or “cash,” room rates by customer segment and type of room product to ensure the complimentary room rates are consistent with retail rates. Revenue per available room represents a summary of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are normally higher than revenue per available room. Reserved rooms where the guests do not show up for their stay and lose their deposit may be re-sold to walk-in guests. These rooms are considered to be occupied twice for statistical purposes due to obtaining the original deposit and the walk-in guest revenue. In cases where a significant number of rooms are resold, occupancy rates may be in excess of 100% and revenue per available room may be higher than the average daily room rate.

Mall revenue measurements: Occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are used as performance indicators. Occupancy represents gross leasable occupied area (“GLOA”) divided by gross leasable area (“GLA”) at the end of the reporting period. GLOA is the sum of: (1) tenant occupied space under lease and (2) tenants no longer occupying space, but paying rent. GLA does not include space that is currently under development or not on the market for lease. Base rent per square foot is the weighted average base, or minimum, rent charge in effect at the end of the reporting period for all tenants that would qualify to be included in occupancy. Tenant sales per square foot is the sum of reported comparable sales for the trailing 12 months divided by the comparable square footage for the same period. Only tenants that have been open for a minimum of 12 months are included in the tenant sales per square foot calculation.

Total net revenues	$	2,709,482		$	2,409,375			12.5	%

Consolidated net revenues were $2.71 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $300.1 million compared to $2.41 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was driven by $295.9 million of net revenues at Sands Cotai Central, which opened in April 2012, and increases of $83.5 million and $55.4 million at The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, respectively, partially offset by a decrease of $166.9 million at Marina Bay Sands.

Casino revenues increased $297.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is attributable to $272.1 million of revenues at Sands Cotai Central, an $84.2 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by increases in Rolling Chip and Non-Rolling Chip win percentage, a $54.1 million increase at Four Seasons Macao, driven by an increase in Rolling Chip volume and a $47.2 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by an increase in table games win percentage. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $181.1 million at Marina Bay Sands, driven by decreases in Rolling Chip volume and win percentage.

In our experience, average win percentages remain steady when measured over extended periods of time, but can vary considerably within shorter time periods as a result of the statistical variances that are associated with games of chance in which large amounts are wagered.

Room revenues increased $25.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is attributable to $24.0 million at Sands Cotai Central and a $9.3 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by an increase in average daily room rates. These increases were partially offset by an $8.4 million decrease at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by a decrease in occupancy. The suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to casino patrons on a complimentary basis. The following table summarizes the results of our room activity:

Food and beverage revenues decreased $4.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $14.8 million decrease at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by a decrease in banquet operations, partially offset by $11.3 million in revenues at Sands Cotai Central.

Mall revenues increased $14.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $10.9 million increase at our Macao operating properties, driven by higher base and overage rents, and the opening of Sands Cotai Central, as well as a $2.7 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by an increase in mall occupancy. The following table summarizes the results of our mall activity:

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $17.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.4 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in entertainment revenue, and a $6.2 million decrease in Other Asia, driven by our ferry operations.

Total operating expenses	$	2,175,387	$	1,776,819		22.4	%

Operating expenses were $2.18 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $398.6 million compared to $1.78 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the opening of Sands Cotai Central, as well as an increase in casino activity at our other Macao operating properties.

Casino expenses increased $284.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Of the increase, $195.1 million was attributable to Sands Cotai Central. There were also increases of $58.2 million and $43.4 million at Four Seasons Macao and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven by the 39% gross win tax on increased casino revenue. This was partially offset by a decrease of $20.3 million at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in gaming taxes due to decreased casino revenue.

Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $16.8 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $8.4 million and $7.6 million at Marina Bay Sands and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven primarily by a decrease in entertainment expense.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $72.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases of $15.1 million and $14.9 million at our Macao operating properties and Marina Bay Sands, respectively, driven by increases in accounts receivable related to credit extended to gaming patrons as well as increases to provisions for specific customers. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $28.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $29.6 million in expenses at Sands Cotai Central.

Pre-opening expenses were $39.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Pre-opening expense represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were primarily related to activities at Sands Cotai Central.

Adjusted Property EBITDA

Adjusted property EBITDA is used by management as the primary measure of the operating performance of our segments. Adjusted property EBITDA is net income before royalty fees, stock-based compensation expense, corporate expense, pre-opening expense, development expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of leasehold interests in land, impairment loss, loss on disposal of assets, interest, other income (expense), loss on modification or early retirement of debt and income taxes. The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Segment Information” for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income):

		130,324			119,481		9.1	%

Total adjusted property EBITDA	$	876,898		$	924,149		(5.1	)%

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $95.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was attributable to $53.7 million in adjusted property EBITDA generated at Sands Cotai Central and a $46.3 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by an increase in casino activity.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $153.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $166.9 million decrease in net revenues, partially offset by a $25.2 million decrease in gaming taxes due to decreased casino revenues.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $3.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $13.9 million increase in net revenues (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), partially offset by an $8.8 million increase in provision for doubtful accounts.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem increased $6.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $15.2 million increase in net revenues, driven by an increase in casino activity, partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense on long-term debt:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest cost (which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount)	$	68,425		$	101,688
Add—imputed interest on deferred proceeds from sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo		3,783			4,004
Less—capitalized interest		(9,916	)		(34,931	)

Interest expense, net	$	62,292		$	70,761

Cash paid for interest	$	51,782		$	89,070
Weighted average total debt balance	$	9,417,803		$	10,102,791
Weighted average interest rate		2.9	%		4.0	%

Interest cost decreased $33.3 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, resulting primarily from a decrease in our weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased $25.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the completion of phase I of Sands Cotai Central in April 2012.

Other Factors Effecting Earnings

Other income was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to other expense of $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The amounts in both periods were primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains and losses, principally in Macao.

Our effective income tax rate was 7.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 9.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for both periods reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which, if not extended, will expire in 2013. During July 2012, we requested an additional 5-year income tax exemption; however, there is no assurance that we will receive the extension. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or a portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $95.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $80.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Total net revenues	$	8,054,130		$	6,866,390			17.3	%

Consolidated net revenues were $8.05 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.19 billion compared to $6.87 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net revenues was driven by an increase of $998.0 million across all of our Macao operations and a $73.5 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties (excluding intersegment royalty revenue).

Casino revenues increased $1.11 billion compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to $521.6 million at Sands Cotai Central and increases of $317.6 million at Four Seasons Macao, driven by an increase in Rolling Chip volume, $117.7 million at The Venetian Macao, driven by increases in Non-Rolling Chip win percentage and drop and slot handle, and $112.3 million at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by increases in table games win percentage and drop.

Room revenues increased $96.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in room revenues was primarily attributable to a $49.2 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by increases in occupancy and average daily room rates, and $39.3 million at Sands Cotai Central. The hotel tower at Sands Bethlehem opened in May 2011. The suites at Sands Macao are primarily provided to casino patrons on a complimentary basis.

Food and beverage revenues increased $17.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $20.7 million at Sands Cotai Central and a $9.0 million increase at The Venetian Macao, partially offset by a $14.0 million decrease at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, driven by a decrease in banquet operations.

Mall revenues increased $49.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $13.9 million increase at Marina Bay Sands, driven by an increase in mall occupancy, and increases of $13.9 million and $13.5 million at The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao, respectively, driven by higher base rents and overage rents. The following table summarizes the results of our mall activity:

(1)	As GLA, occupancy, base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are calculated as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, they are identical to the summary presented herein for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(2)	Phases I and II of The Shoppes at Sands Cotai Central opened in April and September 2012, respectively.

(3)	Base rent per square foot and tenant sales per square foot are excluded from the table as a progressive opening of The Shoppes at Sands Bethlehem began in November 2011.

Convention, retail and other revenues decreased $6.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $17.4 million decrease at Marina Bay Sands, driven by a decrease in entertainment revenue, partially offset by a $10.0 million increase at our Macao operations.

Total operating expenses	$	6,414,753	$	5,139,785		24.8	%

Operating expenses were $6.41 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, an increase of $1.27 billion compared to $5.14 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased casino activity at our operating properties, the opening of Sands Cotai Central, an increase in pre-opening expense and $143.7 million in impairment charges.

Casino expenses increased $783.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Of the increase, $371.9 million was attributable to Sands Cotai Central and increases of $278.0 million and $66.5 million at the Four Seasons Macao and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven by the 39% gross win tax on increased casino revenue.

Room, food and beverage and mall expenses increased $19.5 million, $21.4 million and $7.0 million, respectively, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increases were driven by the associated increases in the related revenues described above.

Convention, retail and other expenses decreased $22.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $18.5 million and $11.4 million at Marina Bay Sands and The Venetian Macao, respectively, driven primarily by a decrease in entertainment expense.

The provision for doubtful accounts was $183.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $92.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases of $56.5 million and $19.0 million at Marina Bay Sands and our Macao operating properties, respectively, driven by increases in accounts receivable related to credit extended to gaming patrons as well as increases to provisions for specific customers. The amount of this provision can vary over short periods of time because of factors specific to the customers who owe us money from gaming activities at any given time. We believe that the amount of our provision for doubtful accounts in the future will depend upon the state of the economy, our credit standards, our risk assessments and the judgment of our employees responsible for granting credit.

General and administrative expenses increased $71.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $53.6 million of expenses at Sands Cotai Central and a $16.7 million increase at our Las Vegas Operating Properties.

Corporate expenses increased $28.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily driven by an increase in legal fees.

Pre-opening expenses were $134.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Pre-opening expense represents personnel and other costs incurred prior to the opening of new ventures, which are expensed as incurred. Pre-opening expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were primarily related to activities at Sands Cotai Central.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $45.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $57.0 million of expense at Sands Cotai Central, partially offset by decreases at our other Macao operating properties due to certain assets being fully depreciated.

Impairment loss was $143.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consisting primarily of a $100.7 million write-off of capitalized construction costs related to our Cotai Strip parcels 7 and 8 in Macao and a $42.9 million impairment due to the termination of the ZAiA show at The Venetian Macao (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Property and Equipment, Net”).

Adjusted Property EBITDA

The following table summarizes information related to our segments (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 10 — Segment Information” for discussion of our operating segments and a reconciliation of adjusted property EBITDA to net income):

		364,899			320,703			13.8	%

Total adjusted property EBITDA	$	2,788,098		$	2,571,519			8.4	%

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Macao operations increased $212.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to $105.5 million in adjusted property EBITDA generated at Sands Cotai Central and a $70.7 million increase at The Venetian Macao, driven by an increase in casino activity.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Marina Bay Sands decreased $40.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase of $56.5 million in provision for doubtful accounts.

Adjusted property EBITDA at our Las Vegas Operating Properties increased $26.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $73.5 million increase in net revenues (excluding intersegment royalty revenue), partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Adjusted property EBITDA at Sands Bethlehem increased $18.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $57.8 million increase in net revenues, driven by an increase in casino activity, partially offset by increases in the associated operating expenses.

Interest Expense

The following table summarizes information related to interest expense on long-term debt:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest cost (which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount)	$	224,472		$	308,232
Add—imputed interest on deferred proceeds from sale of The Shoppes at The Palazzo		11,338			4,004
Less—capitalized interest		(44,313	)		(97,298	)

Interest expense, net	$	191,497		$	214,938

Cash paid for interest	$	209,491		$	300,482
Weighted average total debt balance	$	9,755,978		$	10,140,505
Weighted average interest rate		3.1	%		4.1	%

Interest cost decreased $83.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, resulting primarily from a decrease in our weighted average interest rate. Capitalized interest decreased $53.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the completion of phase I of Sands Cotai Central in April 2012.

Other Factors Effecting Earnings

Other income was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to other expense of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The amounts in both periods were primarily attributable to foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as decreases in the fair value of our interest rate cap agreements.

The loss on modification or early retirement of debt was $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and was primarily due to a $13.1 million loss related to the refinancing of our Singapore credit facility in June 2012 (see “Item 1 — Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Long-Term Debt — Singapore Credit Facility”).

Our effective income tax rate was 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to 10.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective income tax rate for both periods reflects a 17% statutory tax rate on our Singapore operations and a zero percent tax rate on our Macao gaming operations due to our income tax exemption in Macao, which, if not extended, will expire in 2013. During July 2012, we requested an additional 5-year income tax exemption; however, there is no assurance that we will receive the extension. We have recorded a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets generated by operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions; however, to the extent that the financial results of these operations improve and it becomes “more-likely-than-not” that these deferred tax assets or a portion thereof are realizable, we will reduce the valuation allowances in the period such determination is made.

The net income attributable to our noncontrolling interests was $221.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $233.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. These amounts are primarily related to the noncontrolling interest of SCL.

Development Projects

We have suspended portions of our development projects and should general economic conditions fail to improve, if we are unable to obtain sufficient funding or applicable government approvals such that completion of our suspended projects is not probable, or should management decide to abandon certain projects, all or a portion of our investment to date on our suspended projects could be lost and would result in an impairment charge.

Macao

We submitted plans to the Macao government for The Parisian Macao (formerly referred to as parcel 3), an integrated resort that will be connected to The Venetian Macao and Four Seasons Macao. Subject to government approval, The Parisian Macao is intended to include a gaming area (to be operated under our Macao gaming subconcession), hotel and shopping mall. We expect the cost to design, develop and construct The Parisian Macao will be approximately $2.7 billion, inclusive of payments made for the land premium. We commenced pre-construction activities and have capitalized costs of $106.8 million, including the land premium (net of amortization), as of September 30, 2012. We intend to commence construction after the necessary government approvals are obtained. In addition, we are completing the development of some public areas surrounding our Cotai Strip properties on behalf of the Macao government.

As of September 30, 2012, we have capitalized an aggregate of $7.95 billion in construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization) for our Cotai Strip developments, including The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central, as well as our investments in transportation infrastructure, including our passenger ferry service operations. In addition to funding phases I and II of Sands Cotai Central with borrowings under our $3.7 billion Macao credit facility completed in November 2011 (the “2011 VML Credit Facility,” see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Development Financing Strategy” for further disclosure), we will need to arrange additional financing to fund the balance of our Cotai Strip developments and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required or on terms suitable to us.

Land concessions in Macao generally have an initial term of 25 years with automatic extensions of 10 years thereafter in accordance with Macao law. We have received land concessions from the Macao government to build on parcels 1, 2, 3 and 5 and 6, including the sites on which The Venetian Macao, Four Seasons Macao and Sands Cotai Central are, and The Parisian Macao will be, located. We do not own these land sites in Macao; however, the land concessions grant us exclusive use of the land. As specified in the land concessions, we are required to pay premiums for each parcel, which are either payable in a single lump sum upon acceptance of the land concessions by the Macao government or in seven semi-annual installments, as well as annual rent for the term of the land concessions.

Under our land concession for Sands Cotai Central, we are required to complete the development by May 2014. The land concession for The Parisian Macao contains a similar requirement that required that the development initially be completed by August 2011, but we subsequently were granted an extension from the Macao government, which extended the deadline until April 2013. In July 2012, the Macao government granted us an additional extension, which now requires the development to be completed by April 2016. Should we determine that we are unable to complete the developments by their respective deadlines, we intend to apply for extensions from the Macao government; however, no assurances can be given that extensions will be granted. If we are unable to meet these deadlines and the deadlines are not extended, we could lose our land concessions for Sands Cotai Central or The Parisian Macao, which would prohibit us from operating any facilities developed under the respective land concessions. As a result, we could record a charge for all or some portion of the $3.81 billion or $106.8 million in capitalized construction costs and land premiums (net of amortization), as of September 30, 2012, related to Sands Cotai Central and The Parisian Macao, respectively.

United States

We were constructing a high-rise residential condominium tower (the “Las Vegas Condo Tower”), located on the Las Vegas Strip between The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. We suspended our construction activities for the project due to reduced demand for Las Vegas Strip condominiums and the overall decline in general economic conditions. We intend to recommence construction when demand and conditions improve. As of September 30, 2012, we have capitalized construction costs of $178.9 million for this project. The impact of the suspension on the estimated overall cost of the project is currently not determinable with certainty.

Other

We continue to aggressively pursue a variety of new development opportunities around the world.

Cash Flows — Operating Activities

Table games play at our properties is conducted on a cash and credit basis. Slot machine play is primarily conducted on a cash basis. The retail hotel rooms business is generally conducted on a cash basis, the group hotel rooms business is conducted on a cash and credit basis, and banquet business is conducted primarily on a credit basis resulting in operating cash flows being generally affected by changes in operating income and accounts receivable. Net cash generated from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased $243.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in operating cash flows generated from our Macao operations, as well as favorable changes in our working capital.

Cash Flows — Investing Activities

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $1.06 billion, including $806.4 million for construction and development activities in Macao (primarily for Sands Cotai Central), $98.4 million for construction activities in Singapore, $90.3 million for construction activities at our Las Vegas Operating Properties, $18.3 million for construction activities at Sands Bethlehem and $49.3 million for corporate and other activities.

Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $1.31 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which was primarily attributable to $973.1 million in dividend payments and the repayments of $419.4 million on our U.S. credit facility and $140.3 million on our ferry financing, as well as $189.7 million for the redemption of our Senior Notes, partially offset by $525.0 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants by our Principal Stockholder’s family.

As of September 30, 2012, we had $1.43 billion available for borrowing under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, net of letters of credit. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, we permanently reduced the extended revolving facility commitment of our U.S. credit facility by $32.5 million to $500.0 million.

Development Financing Strategy

Through September 30, 2012, we have funded our development projects primarily through borrowings under our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities, operating cash flows, proceeds from our equity offerings and proceeds from the disposition of non-core assets.

The U.S. credit facility, as amended in August 2010, requires our Las Vegas operations to comply with certain financial covenants at the end of each quarter, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of net debt, as defined, to trailing twelve-month adjusted earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The maximum leverage ratio is 5.0x for all quarterly periods through maturity. We can elect to contribute up to $50 million of cash on hand to our Las Vegas operations on a bi-quarterly basis; such contributions having the effect of increasing Adjusted EBITDA during the applicable quarter for purposes of calculating compliance with the maximum leverage ratio (the “EBITDA true-up”). In Macao, our 2011 VML Credit Facility also requires our Macao operations to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.5x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through June 30, 2013, decreases to 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2013 through December 31, 2014, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending March 31 through December 31, 2015, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. Our Singapore credit facility (the “2012 Singapore Credit Facility”), entered into in June 2012, requires operations of Marina Bay Sands to comply with similar financial covenants, which commenced with the quarter ended September 30, 2012, including maintaining a maximum leverage ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA. The maximum leverage ratio is 4.0x for the quarterly periods ending September 30, 2012 through September 30, 2013, decreases to 3.5x for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, and then decreases to, and remains at, 3.0x for all quarterly periods thereafter through maturity. As of September 30, 2012, our U.S., Macao and Singapore leverage ratios were 1.2x, 1.8x and 2.6x, respectively, compared to the maximum leverage ratios allowed of 5.0x, 4.5x and 4.0x, respectively. If we are unable to maintain compliance with the financial covenants under these credit facilities, we would be in default under the respective credit facilities. A default under the U.S. credit facility would trigger a cross-default under our airplane financings. Any defaults or cross-defaults under these agreements would allow the lenders, in each case, to exercise their rights and remedies as defined under their respective agreements. If the lenders were to exercise their rights to accelerate the due dates of the indebtedness outstanding, there can be no assurance that we would be able to repay or refinance any amounts that may become due and payable under such agreements, which could force us to restructure or alter our operations or debt obligations.

We held unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.75 billion and restricted cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.9 million as of September 30, 2012, of which approximately $2.71 billion of the unrestricted amount is held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Of the $2.71 billion, approximately $2.20 billion is available to be repatriated to the U.S. with minimal taxes owed on such amounts due to the significant foreign taxes we paid, which would ultimately generate U.S. foreign tax credits if cash is repatriated. The remaining unrestricted amounts are not available for repatriation primarily due to dividend requirements to third party public shareholders in the case of funds being repatriated from SCL. We believe the cash on hand, cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under our credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our developments currently under construction and maintain compliance with the financial covenants of our U.S., Macao and Singapore credit facilities. In the normal course of our activities, we will continue to evaluate our capital structure and opportunities for enhancements thereof. In November 2011, we completed the $3.7 billion 2011 VML Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the VML and VOL credit facilities, as well as continue to fund the development, construction and completion of certain components of Sands Cotai Central. In March 2012, we redeemed the outstanding balance of Senior Notes for $191.7 million and recorded a $2.8 million loss on early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In May 2012, we repaid the $131.6 million outstanding balance under our ferry financing and recorded a $1.7 million loss on early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In June 2012, we entered into the 5.1 billion Singapore dollar (approximately $4.16 billion at exchange rates in effect on September 30, 2012) 2012 Singapore Credit Facility, which was used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility. As a result, we recorded a $13.1 million loss on modification and early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In June 2012, we repaid $400.0 million of indebtedness under the term loans of our U.S. credit facility and recorded a $1.6 million loss on early retirement of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

On February 28 and June 22 2012, SCL paid a dividend of 0.58 Hong Kong dollars per share (a total of $1.20 billion) to SCL shareholders (of which we retained $844.4 million). On March 30, June 29 and September 28, 2012, we paid a dividend of $0.25 per common share as part of a regular cash dividend program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded $617.4 million as a distribution against retained earnings (of which $323.5 million related to our Principal Stockholder’s family). In October 2012, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per common share (a total estimated to be approximately $206 million) to be paid on December 28, 2012, to shareholders of record on December 20, 2012. We intend to increase the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per common share, beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

On March 2, 2012, our Principal Stockholder’s family exercised all of their outstanding warrants to purchase 87,500,175 shares of our common stock and paid $525.0 million in cash as settlement of the exercise price.

Aggregate Indebtedness and Other Known Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2012, there had been no material changes to our aggregated indebtedness and other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, with the exception of the following:

•

borrowings of $3.63 billion under our 2012 Singapore Credit Facility (which mature in June 2018 and include quarterly payments commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 2014, with the remaining principal due in full upon maturity), which were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness under the prior Singapore credit facility (which would have matured in March 2015);

•

repayment of $400.0 million under the term loans of our U.S credit facility on a pro rata basis (which would have matured between May 2013 and November 2016);

•

redemption of $191.7 million of the outstanding principal of our senior notes (which would have matured in February 2015); and

•

repayment of $131.6 million outstanding balance under our ferry financing (which would have matured in December 2015).

Restrictions on Distributions

We are a parent company with limited business operations. Our main asset is the stock and membership interests of our subsidiaries. The debt instruments of our U.S., Macao and Singapore subsidiaries contain certain restrictions that, among other things, limit the ability of certain subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue disqualified stock or equity interests, pay dividends or make other distributions, repurchase equity interests or certain indebtedness, create certain liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, enter into certain mergers or consolidations or sell our assets of our company without prior approval of the lenders or noteholders.

Inflation

We believe that inflation and changing prices have not had a material impact on our sales, revenues or income from continuing operations during the past year.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our variable rate long-term debt, which we attempt to manage through the use of interest rate cap agreements. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes and do not enter into derivative transactions that would be considered speculative positions. Our derivative financial instruments consist exclusively of interest rate cap agreements, which do not qualify for hedge accounting. Interest differentials resulting from these agreements are recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to interest expense.

To manage exposure to counterparty credit risk in interest rate cap agreements, we enter into agreements with highly rated institutions that can be expected to fully perform under the terms of such agreements. Frequently, these institutions are also members of the bank group providing our credit facilities, which management believes further minimizes the risk of nonperformance.

The table below provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on September 30, 2012, LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR plus the applicable interest rate spread in accordance with the respective debt agreements. The information is presented in U.S. dollar equivalents, which is the Company’s reporting currency, for the twelve months ending September 30:

(1)	The estimated fair values are based on level 2 inputs (quoted prices in markets are not active).

(2)

Based upon contractual interest rates for fixed rate indebtedness or current LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR for variable-rate indebtedness. Based on variable-rate debt levels as of September 30, 2012, an assumed 100 basis point change in LIBOR, HIBOR and SOR would cause our annual interest cost to change approximately $95.1 million.

(3)	As of September 30, 2012, we have 32 interest rate cap agreements with an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.4 million based on quoted market values from the institutions holding the agreements.

Borrowings under the U.S. credit facility, as amended, bear interest, at our election, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate plus a credit spread. The portions of the revolving facility and term loans that were not extended bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 0.25% per annum or 0.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively. The extended revolving facility and extended term loans bear interest at the alternative base rate plus 1.0% per annum or 1.5% per annum, respectively, or at the adjusted Eurodollar rate plus 2.0% per annum or 2.5% per annum, respectively. Applicable spreads under the U.S. credit facility are subject to downward adjustments based upon our credit rating. Borrowings under the 2011 VML Credit Facility bear interest at either the adjusted Eurodollar rate or an alternative base rate (in the case of U.S. dollar denominated loans) or HIBOR (in the case of Hong Kong dollar and Macao pataca denominated loans), as applicable, plus a spread of 1.5% per annum to 2.25% per annum based on a specified consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the 2012 Singapore Credit Facility bear interest at SOR plus a spread of 1.85% per annum until December 22, 2012 (the first 180 days after the closing date). Beginning December 23, 2012, the spread for all borrowings is subject to a reduction based on a specified consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio. Borrowings under the airplane financings bear interest at LIBOR plus approximately 1.5% per annum.

Foreign currency transaction gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were $2.5 million. We may be vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate. Based on balances as of September 30, 2012, an assumed 1% change in the U.S. dollar/pataca exchange rate would cause a foreign currency transaction gain/loss of approximately $14.9 million. We do not hedge our exposure to foreign currencies; however, we maintain a significant amount of our operating funds in the same currencies in which we have obligations thereby reducing our exposure to currency fluctuations.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) of the Company as of September 30, 2012, and have concluded that they are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that had a material effect, or was reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
