Having opened its doors for the first time on May 18, 2004, Sands Macao celebrated its momentous 10th anniversary with a series of spectacular events. The evening saw Fernando Chui Sai On, Chief Executive, Macao S.A.R.; Edmund Ho Hau Wah, Vice-Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; Sheldon Adelson, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, Las Vegas Sands Corp and Dr. Miriam Adelson a ceremony at the Sands Theatre to light up a Sands Macao 10th Anniversary Sand Sculpture located outside at the resort’s fountain area with beautiful illumination, climaxing in a fantastic display of pyrotechnics above Sands Macao, displayed via live feed on the Sands Theatre LED screen.
A gala dinner attended by government officials, business associates, community partners and academic professionals followed.
Furthermore, a select group of team members met with Edward Tracy, President and Chief Executive Officer, Sands China, who delivered his thanks to a gathered audience of 188 team members who have been with the company since March 3, 2004, or earlier, and were on the opening team of Sands Macao; many of them have since moved up to managerial and executive leadership positions. More than half of the approximately 4,000 Sands Macao founders who joined the company in April 2004 continue to work at Sands China today, and will be recognised at a founder celebration party scheduled to be held in June.
