Las Vegas Sands has announced that its CEO Robert Goldstein will step down in March 2026, taking on a senior advisory role through March 2028.
According to the company, Goldstein will continue to contribute to Sands’ government relations efforts, as well as development projects and game strategy during this period.
Goldstein’s career at Las Vegas Sands
Robert Goldstein has been with the group since 1995, working closely with the company’s late founder, Sheldon Adelson.
During this time, he was involved in the development and launch of The Venetian Las Vegas in 1999. He was subsequently responsible for overseeing the Sands’ expansion into international markets, including Macau and Singapore.
His tenure included the sale of Sands Bethlehem in Pennsylvania and the company’s continued investment in integrated resort development. Goldstein became CEO in 2021 after Adelson’s passing, leading the company through its post-pandemic recovery.
During his tenure, Sands completed the sale of its Las Vegas assets and strengthened its focus on Asia, particularly through its properties in Macau and Singapore.
According to the company, this leadership change follows Sands’ announcement of a $1 billion expansion project at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, scheduled for completion in 2029. The development agreement, signed with the Singapore Tourism Board, includes additional gaming, hospitality and entertainment facilities.
Las Vegas Sands said Goldstein’s transition will allow for a structured transfer of leadership while maintaining continuity of its global business strategy.
