LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Casino operator Las Vegas Sands Corp. says it earned $168 million during the third quarter on a record $1.91 billion in revenue with help from strong business in China and a new casino in Singapore.
The company run by billionaire Sheldon Adelson said Wednesday that it earned 21 cents per share, compared with a loss of 19 cents per share, $123 million, a year earlier.
The revenue beat Wall Street's expectations. Analysts on average predicted Las Vegas Sands would earn 23 cents per share on $1.79 billion in revenue.
Sands took in $1.08 billion in the Chinese gambling enclave of Macau and $485.9 million at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore during that property's first full quarter in operation.
Sands' revenue in Las Vegas was $290.7 million.
