Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS)’ Worldwide Domination

Page 2 of 2

Although its revenue is increasing, everything else is decreasing. MGM Resorts International has witnessed a decline of about 1.4 billion in cash over the past year. MGM is also opening up casinos, but its casinos are more concentrated in the Las Vegas area.For these reasons, I would recommend Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS) over MGM.

Caesars Entertainment Corp (NASDAQ:CZR)

Another player in the casino and hotel industry is Caesars Entertainment. I would not recommend this company at all. This company is losing a ton of money. There are many reasons that contribute to this stock’s dwindling cash balance. First and foremost is the amount of employees they have, currently at about 70,000, while Las Vegas Sands has a mere 46,000. Caesars also has a negative P/E. Like the others, Caesars Entertainment is opening up new casinos. A notable casino includes the Linq which has cost Caesars a whopping $500 million. These are just some of the many negative statistics that Caesars possesses and it would take the the company some time to get back on its feet.

Conclusion

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS) is well positioned to benefit from growth in Macau and China. In 2012, Las Vegas Sands was able to strengthen its grip in Macau through the addition of the first tower in the Sands Cotai Central resort. Las Vegas Sands is currently in the process of expanding its towers, which will support revenue growth rates in Macau.
