Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVS)

Trend of the market suggests a rise for this stock.

AS THE ECONOMY RETURNS SO WILL LVS.

I think the Las Vegas/Casino based stocks are some of the best bets. Wynn, MGM, and LVS aren't going anywhere. Considering the DOW is back near 10,000, halfway back to its high, I can only imagine that as the rest of the country slowly recovers, you will see stocks like LVS which was once selling down near $2 a share back to $100+. The desire, want, need to gamble will not go away. The minute spare funds are available, casinos will be back to their prime. Companies like WYNN, MGM, and LVS are highly leveraged in their desire to expand, but will ultimately survive and be stronger for it. The timing of the downturn was bad, but even local to me (Western New York) the casinos here are upset that instead of making $120 million, they only make $102 million. Belive me, they aren't losing money and the only thing that has these larger traded companies in a bind is the poor timing to be highly leveraged. I don't think they are losing any money, they have just lost all ability to find financial flexibility, further leverage themselves, or possibly to maintain any loan covenants that would otherwise be a non-issue. As the economy recovers, their significant investments will pay off, their leverage will increase, they will be back to having financial flexibility, and they will again thrive.

Las vegas sands and all the operators on the strip are the goldman sacks of knowing how to excite a crowd,remember that this type of exciting night life is very contagious,and through my experience when people and or up and coming economies soar ahead ,everybody wants to spend. Listen american,s are the best marketers in the world ,the reason the chinese officials are moving to curb that excitement is because this monster left unleashed would turn LVS stock on it,s head and beat oil to the 200 US mark,Just put the stock away and don,t get sideswiped or jolted by the hedge funds who are going to seize this opportunity to try and short the stock come monday morning,remember if IPO,s were so easy to raise then we would all be doing it ,leave that to the operators,come on Sheldon chipped in a billion of his own money thats not loose change ,thats calling it having skin in the game.

Big casino stocks won't fail. Then foreigners would not be spending much money, and we won't be getting any money. Gov't can't let that happen.

GOING UP

IPO

People will come back to Vegas. The price will go back up. Now is the time to pick it up before it heads back up

A) Overseas earnings (dollar will decline
B) China/Asia earnings growth
C) Still recovering from the brink of bankruptcy

this owner will not fold

Casinos are great inflation hedges as the more money there is in circulation, the higher their take, and inflation we will have.

LVS is particularly blessed as it is the top Asian facility holder, and its Macau earnings will be magnified by the coming devaluation against China of the US Dollar.

On top of all this, with an improving economy and Obama's implied blessing, LVS's leverage will soon start working for it again, as will its Convention knowhow.

Steve Wynn may tell a great story, but Adelson has never been forced to sell out, and isn't afraid to back up his operation with his own money. My Asian pick is LVS

EASY..

STRONG HOLD.!!!!

insane price growth, if you are an average investor i'd avoid this stock as it's like playing with fire at these levels. I see more up side but you can easily get burnt with this is you don't know what your doing.

I am going to Vegas for my bachelor party, that alone will increase sales dramatically!

Casino stocks are on an upward swing due to the up coming football season !!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's face it. People are never going to just flat out stop taking vacations. If money is tight most people can find week long flight and hotel pricing to be the same as going to the beach. Everyone I work with seems to have a trip planned this year or next year.

This stock was down in the dumps($2.85) in early 09' and is now thriving (+$15.00).

Don't bet against these guys! Las Vegas will always be a draw to foreign and domestic tourists. And the Macau market will provide great diversification. While they are up significantly from their March 2009 low, there remains significant upside. Use short-term turbulence as buying opportunities.
