Macau Court Rules in Favor of Las Vegas Sands in Decade-Long Dispute


The Court of First Instance in Macau ruled in favor of Las Vegas Sands (LVS) in a lawsuit against Asian American Entertainment Corporation (AAEC).

AAEC sought restitution from LVS of around MOP 96.5 billion (US $12 billion), claiming that the Las Vegas-based casino corporation had breached its contract.

In 2002, LVS and AAEC intended to compete jointly for a Macau casino license, but LVS instead joined Galaxy Entertainment Group. AAEC stated that it was not compensated enough for allegedly assisting LVS in obtaining a permit. The deal involving LVS and Galaxy ultimately devolved into a farce, with Galaxy obtaining the license and LVS obtaining a sub-license.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
