This will be the third time it has asked for more time for its Cotai project. Sands included the deadline news in its 2012 annual report published this week.
The government originally gave the company a May 2014 deadline – 48 months from the date the relevant Cotai land concession became effective – to complete Sands Cotai Central. The property is expected to cost at least us$ 4.2 billion when finished. Las Vegas Sands is the parent company of Macau-based gaming operator Sands China.
