About Rob Goldstein And Las Vegas Sands

Goldstein was appointed as Las Vegas Sands chairman and CEO in January 2021 following the death of its figurehead, Sheldon Adelson. Goldstein joined the company in 1995 and has since served in executive roles at several of its properties, including the Venetian and Palazzo. 

With a market cap of approximately $34 billion, Las Vegas Sands was once the largest casino operator in the U.S. and remains the largest casino operator in the world. However, in recent years the company has shifted its focus to Asia, specifically Macau and Singapore. 

In March 2021, Las Vegas Sands announced the sale of its Las Vegas properties, including the Venetian, Palazzo, and Sands Expo Convention Center, to Apollo Global Management for $6.25 billion.
