Is Las Vegas Sands Stock Underperforming the Nasdaq?![]() Valued at $30 billion by market cap, Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS) is a leading developer and operator of integrated resorts anchored in Asia, with its operations concentrated in Macau (through Sands China) and Singapore (Marina Bay Sands). Headquartered in Las Vegas, its integrated resorts feature luxurious accommodations, casinos, entertainment, malls, celebrity chef restaurants, and other amenities.
