1. 历史 | History

1.1 拉斯维加斯大道的开发 | Development on the Las Vegas Strip

Entrepreneur Sheldon G. Adelson and his partners Richard Katzeff, Irwin Chafetz, Ted Cutler, and Jordan Shapiro bought the Sands Hotel and Casino in 1989. Adelson and his partners financed their venture with investments in personal computers and trade shows, founding the computer trade show COMDEX in 1979.[4] They opened the 1.2 million square foot Sands Expo and Convention Center, then the largest privately owned convention facility in the world,[5] across from the hotel in 1990.
【参考译文】企业家谢尔登·G·阿德尔森及其合作伙伴理查德·卡茨夫、欧文·查菲茨、泰德·卡特勒和乔丹·沙皮罗于1989年购买了金沙酒店和赌场。阿德尔森及其合作伙伴通过投资个人电脑和贸易展览为其事业提供资金,并于1979年创办了计算机贸易展览会COMDEX。[4]1990年,他们在酒店对面开设了占地120万平方英尺的金沙博览会议中心,这是当时世界上最大的私人拥有的会议中心。[5]

The Sands Hotel was unable to compete with newer resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and was demolished to make room for The Venetian. Construction of the Venetian began in 1997, funded by Adelson’s sale of COMDEX.[6] Modeled on Venice, Italy, it joined the ranks of themed hotels such as Excalibur, New York-New York, and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip. In 2004, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. went public,[4] and its name was changed to the Las Vegas Sands Corp.
【参考译文】金沙酒店无法与拉斯维加斯大道上新建的度假村竞争,因此被拆除,以便为威尼斯人度假村腾出空间。威尼斯人度假村的建设始于1997年,资金来自阿德尔森出售COMDEX所得的收益。[6]该度假村以意大利威尼斯为蓝本,加入了拉斯维加斯大道上如神剑、纽约-纽约和巴黎拉斯维加斯等主题酒店的行列。2004年,拉斯维加斯金沙公司上市,[4]并更名为拉斯维加斯金沙集团。

Construction on The Palazzo began in 2005. The Palazzo and The Venetian make up the world’s largest hotel under one roof, at 7,000 all-suite rooms and 17 million square feet.[7] The 43-story unfinished condominium skyscraper St. Regis Residences at the Venetian Palazzo is on the same campus. Construction halted in 2008 due to company financial issues.[8]
【参考译文】帕拉佐的建设始于2005年。帕拉佐和威尼斯人共同构成了世界上最大的单体酒店,拥有7000间全套房和1700万平方英尺的面积。[7]在同一园区内,还有一座43层、尚未完工的公寓摩天大楼——威尼斯人帕拉佐圣瑞吉斯公寓。由于公司财务问题,该建筑于2008年停工。[8]

The 2008 financial crisis forced Adelson to invest $1 billion of his own capital to keep the Las Vegas Sands in business, much of which the company spent developing event spaces and high-end retail stores in their properties By 2011, the Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s main profits came from renting convention space.[9]
【参考译文】2008年的金融危机迫使阿德尔森投入10亿美元自有资金来维持拉斯维加斯金沙集团的运营,该公司大部分资金都用于开发旗下的活动场地和高端零售店。到2011年,拉斯维加斯金沙集团的主要利润来自租赁会展场地。[9]

1.2 扩张至亚洲 | Expansion into Asia

The company soon recognized new commercial opportunities in Asia, specifically in Macau, the only Special Administrative Region of China where gambling is legal. Las Vegas Sands Corp., along with Wynn Resorts and Galaxy Entertainment Group,[10] was one of the first to be granted a casino operating concession. Sands Macao resort, Macau’s first American-operated casino, opened in 2004.
【参考译文】该公司很快便意识到亚洲、特别是中国唯一允许赌博的特别行政区澳门的新商机。拉斯维加斯金沙集团与永利度假村及银河娱乐集团[10]一同,是最早获得赌场经营特许权的公司之一。澳门金沙度假村——澳门首家美国经营的赌场——于2004年开业。

2000年,澳门政府开放博彩经营权后,美国金沙集团先后与(美籍台商郝皙生旗下的)台湾亚美娱乐集团和银河银河集团合作,竞投赌牌。最后在2002年,是银河跟金沙的搭挡中标。金沙先前的伙伴一无所获,便于2021年在澳门初级法院控告金沙,违反协议退出合作,索赔120亿美元(约960亿澳门元),案件审理中。[3][4]

Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s future Macau properties were largely in Cotai, a district of reclaimed land created through public works projects and designated for hotels and casinos.[11] The Venetian Macao, the second-largest in the world at 550,000 square feet, opened in 2007.[12]
【参考译文】拉斯维加斯金沙集团未来在澳门的产业大多位于路氹,这是一个通过公共工程项目填海造地而形成的区域,专门用于建造酒店和赌场。[11]2007年,世界第二大、面积为55万平方米的澳门威尼斯人度假村开业。[12]

2008年11月11日负责新加坡滨海湾赌城开发与经营的拉斯维加斯金沙集团说,有信心能在一周内筹得20亿美元资金,并于发表第三季财务报告时宣布,将把发展新加坡滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城列为最重要项目,以消除市场担心集团可能破产的疑虑。[5]

In 2008, Las Vegas Sands opened a Four Seasons hotel adjacent to the Venetian Macao. It was followed by The Londoner Macao, originally branded Sands Cotai Central, and The Parisian Macao.
【参考译文】2008年,拉斯维加斯金沙集团在澳门威尼斯人度假村旁开设了一家四季酒店。随后又开设了澳门伦敦人(原名金沙城中心)和澳门巴黎人。

Development plans proceeded in 2010 for Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore, at $5.6 billion the most expensive hotel and casino ever built.[13] The resort was designed by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie and is composed of three 57-story towers connected at the top by a 3-acre SkyPark(R). The integrated resort was the second built in Singapore after Resorts World Sentosa. Eight months after opening, Marina Bay Sands set a record for posting a $600 million operating profit.
【参考译文】2010年,滨海湾金沙度假村在新加坡的开发计划继续进行,该项目耗资56亿美元,是有史以来建造的最昂贵的酒店和赌场。[13]该度假村由以色列裔加拿大建筑师摩西·萨夫迪设计,由三座57层的塔楼组成,塔楼顶部通过占地3英亩的天际泳池(SkyPark®)相连。这个综合度假村是继圣淘沙名胜世界之后,新加坡建成的第二个度假村。开业八个月后,滨海湾金沙度假村创造了6亿美元的经营利润纪录。

2010年4月,传媒报导澳门金沙集团当地合伙人疑涉及香港黑帮并买凶杀人,有可能影响新加坡滨海湾金沙申请赌场执照。涉及那澳门买凶杀人案的幕后黑手,被指是经营澳门金沙贵宾房成都厅的负责人张治太。[6][7]

在2012年4月11日,于金沙城中心的开幕仪式中,董事长谢尔登·阿德尔森表示拉斯维加斯金沙集团将斥资350亿美元,在西班牙首都马德里巴塞罗拿兴建12项综合渡假村項目。他更明言,金沙会将版图延伸至日本韩国越南台湾,每个市场会各兴建两项物业,每个項目最少投资60亿美元。[8]

1.3 近期历史 | Recent history

In September 2012, the Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced that Madrid had been chosen as destination for a casino resort project dubbed EuroVegas.[14] In February 2013, the company named the town of Alcorcón, on the outskirts of Madrid, as the site for the EuroVegas project.[15] Plans included six casinos, twelve hotels, a convention center, three golf courses, shopping centers, bars, and restaurants, and was expected to take 10 years to build. In December 2013 the EuroVegas project was officially canceled.[16]

7. 涉嫌违反反贿赂法规 | Alleged anti-bribery violations

In March 2013, the New York Times[31] reported that the Las Vegas Sands Corp. had informed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the company likely violated federal law against the bribery of foreign officials. The Company disputed these reports, stating in a press release:
【参考译文】2013年3月,《纽约时报》[31]报道,拉斯维加斯金沙集团已告知美国证券交易委员会,该公司可能违反了禁止向外国官员行贿的联邦法律。该公司在一份新闻稿中对这些报道提出异议,称:

The company did not report any violations of the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA, and it said news reports stating otherwise, such as the headline in today’s New York Times which described the matter by saying ‘Casino Says it Likely Cheated,’ are both inflammatory and defamatory…in [the Company’s] preliminary findings the company’s Audit Committee had advised that there were ‘likely violations’ of the books and records and internal controls provisions (i.e. ‘accounting provisions’) of the FCPA. A potential violation of the accounting provisions could range anywhere from a single transaction recorded incorrectly to other errors in the accounting records. The company said it will vigorously defend itself against that type of uninformed and misleading reporting.[32]

【参考译文】该公司并未报告有任何违反《反海外腐败法》(FCPA)反贿赂条款的行为,并称其他新闻报道(如《纽约时报》当日的标题所述“赌场称其可能作弊”)均属煽动性和诽谤性言论……根据[该公司]的初步调查结果,公司审计委员会建议称,《反海外腐败法》中有关账簿记录与内部控制条款(即“会计条款”)可能存在“违规情况”。对会计条款的潜在违规可能包括单笔交易记录错误,或其他会计记录错误。该公司表示,将积极应对此类缺乏根据和误导性的报道。[32]

On May 31, 2016, Sands reached a financial settlement with former Sands China president Steve Jacobs, who sued the company in 2010 for breach of contract and wrongful termination.[33] Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but the Wall Street Journal reported that the company paid Jacobs more than $75 million.[34] Jacobs had claimed he was dismissed for “blowing the whistle on improprieties” in Macau,[35] including Jacobs’ allegations that Adelson had instructed him to investigate senior Macau officials’ potentially damaging financial and business information to use as leverage in future regulatory discussions.[36] Adelson denied these allegations, characterizing Jacobs as a disgruntled ex-employee.[37]

On March 14, 2019, Sands reached a financial settlement with Hong Kong businessman Richard Suen for an undisclosed amount after having sued Las Vegas Sands for the third time, arguing he was owed $347 million by the Company, who countered with $3.76 million. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed, but Sands attorney Richard Sauber said the parties had reached an “amicable settlement and resolution.”[38] Suen had successfully sued Sands twice in 2004 with the claim that he had been promised a $5 million success fee and 2% of Sands’ profits from its operations in Macau in exchange for helping to obtain a Macau casino concession. The trials resulted in awards of $44 million and $70 million, respectively.[39]
