Goldstein to oversee global gaming operations for Las Vegas Sands

January 3, 2011 - 7:55 am

Longtime Las Vegas Sands Corp. executive Rob Goldstein is now responsible for the company's gaming business in the United States, Macau and Singapore.

The casino company announced Monday that Goldstein, the executive vice president and president of The Venetian and Palazzo, was named president of global gaming operations.

Goldstein joined Las Vegas Sands in 1995. The promotion allows him to focus solely on the company's gaming business worldwide.

"With our significant presence in Asia and as Las Vegas continues to rebound, this company has opportunities in front of it that are unprecedented in the industry," Goldstein said in a statement.

In addition to the company's two Las Vegas casinos, Las Vegas Sands operates three casinos in Macau, the newly-opened Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and a casino in Pennsylvania.

The company is expanding in Macau, looking to add some 6,000 hotel rooms and casino space to the Cotai Strip
