Our definition of VIP is not as big as in Macau. But for us, they are VIPs even if they don't spend a lot because we are very hospitable here.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Macau casinos have a wonderful business, it's taking in money from Chinese businessmen elsewhere who send it through junky companies to casinos to gamble. The growth continues and they have basically western managers and western accounting, so we trust the numbers a little bit more.
You can't discuss Macau in any logical conversation. It will distort any reality.
I had benefited so much from Vipassana, I felt it was important for many more people to be able to share the experience.
If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.
A lot of places in Las Vegas are big boxes of stuff. The hotels I've built have had, for lack of a better term, a soul.
The guest gets at least as much service with us as with some established airline, if not even more. And at by far a favourable price. Thus the passengers remain gladly with us.
Macau is limited in size and land is expensive, so gaming and leisure development must be more efficient. We follow a very conservative financial strategy.
I cook the food of Macau, my roots and soul food.
In Singapore, there is this life and locals and restaurants and then big casinos and an array of chefs, and even Miami is almost close to Vegas when it comes to an amazing presentation of chefs. But they don't have these massive hotels that have become their own culinary villages.
We have never heard of laundering in Macau; money laundering is unheard of. Mind you, my casino, every bit of money - someone says Stanley Ho, you issue me a check of so much money - we don't give that easy.
