Sands China Team Members and Community Members Celebrate
Venetian 15th Anniversary with 4 Months of Activities

Games, lucky draws, performances and prizes

(Macao, Dec. 28, 2022) – Sands China Ltd. has wrapped up a successful four-month team member appreciation campaign, V-Celebrate, V-Fun & V-Appreciate, attracting over 7,000 participants across more than 200 activity sessions since August.

Sands' co-founder Dr. Miriam Adelson had helped kick off the series of exciting events by sending her best wishes in a video message to all team members. She thanked team members for supporting the company's developmental vision and for their efforts in assisting The Venetian^® Macao to accomplish remarkable achievements. She also said she looked forward to continue walking side by side with team members in the future.

In celebration of the 15th anniversary of The Venetian Macao, Sands China held the series of activities to show the company's appreciation for team members, their families and friends, and community members who have shown their support to The Venetian Macao over the years, while offering an opportunity for them to have fun. Since the kick-off of the campaign in August, team members and their families have been able to join a number of fun activities, win prizes, and enjoy quality family time together.

A celebration carnival ran in August and September at The Venetian Ballroom, and included screenings of the "Making of Venetian" documentary, a "V-Care" exhibition showcasing team member growth with Sands China, a team member knowledge quiz, games, handicraft souvenir workshops, and lucky draws. Sands China extended the carnival invitation out to the wider community, inviting more than 20 organisations, including educational institutes, community associations, and medical groups.

The campaign also included a Venetian experience for team members, family, and friends. Interested team members and their families and friends enrolled in a variety of 17 activities where they could get a taste of The Venetian Macao's services and facilities, such as a Cotai Strip limousine experience, an exclusive tea-time experience at the Presidential Suite, a behind-the-scenes property tour, and a Venetian photo competition, as well as attend culinary workshops with their children.

Wong Sam Mao, a team member from the table games department, said: "I really enjoyed the Venetian experiential activities the company designed for us during the 15th anniversary celebration. My kids and I learned about the interesting stories behind The Venetian's classical architecture, and we explored the Heart of the House area and different departments together. We even took a luxurious ride around the Cotai Strip! We had such a wonderful family time!"

A unique Celebrity Experience at the Arena in November gave team members a chance to perform on the same Cotai Arena stage where superstars like Katy Perry, Jacky Cheung, Jay Chou and hundreds of other stars have performed. Over 30 team members from 19 different departments passed their auditions and performed in front of an audience of over 1,100.

The campaign also featured social media activities that have been running on the Sands China Careers Facebook page since August and wrap up this month. These activities, themed around the anniversary celebration of The Venetian Macao, are open to team members and their families. By joining these activities or sharing remarkable moments of the campaign on social media platforms, participants are eligible for a chance to win hotel accommodation, dining vouchers, and other prizes.

As Macao's first and still its most well-known integrated resort, The Venetian Macao has hosted 386 million visitors over the last 15 years. Its vast entertainment and MICE venues have welcomed celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Aaron Kwok, and the Rolling Stones; presented sports events like Fists of Gold that were shown live around the world; hosted large-scale meetings of over 10,000 participants for multinational giants; and staged theatre shows like "Cats" and "Beauty and the Beast."

With the establishment of The Venetian Macao, Sands China has since added to its portfolio The Plaza^® Macao; Sands^® Cotai Central, now reborn as The Londoner^® Macao; and The Parisian Macao, in a bid to realise its vision for Cotai. The company is continuing its efforts to help build Macao as a world centre of tourism and leisure, having invested US$15 billion in Macao to date.
