Sands Macao Now the Biggest Casino in the World

The first casino operated by a western hemispheric business in Asia is now the largest operating casino in the world.

After a two year expansion the Sands Macao has finished its casino floor and is now 229,000 square feet. It holds 740 tables, more than any other casino in the world, both factors making it the largest casino the world has ever seen.

The Sands Macaou, owned by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, is now one of the hottest tourist attractions in Asia.

"The Sands Macao continues to outpace the competition by offering an entertainment experience not found anywhere else in Asia," stated Bradley H. Stone, executive vice president of Las Vegas Sands Corp. CKX, Inc.
