The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2004. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain amounts in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. The interim results reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (LVSC) was incorporated in Nevada during August 2004 and completed an initial public offering of its common stock on December 20, 2004. Immediately prior to the initial public offering LVSC acquired 100% of the capital stock of Las Vegas Sands, Inc. The acquisition of Las Vegas Sands, Inc. by LVSC has been accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control, in a manner similar to pooling-of-interests. LVSC is traded on the NYSE under the symbol LVS. On July 28, 2005, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. was converted into a Nevada limited liability company and changed its name to Las Vegas Sands, LLC.
LVSC and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) own and operate the Venetian Hotel Resort Casino (the Venetian Casino Resort), a Renaissance Venice-themed resort situated on the Las Vegas Strip (the Strip). The Venetian Casino Resort is located across from The Mirage and the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. The Venetian Casino Resort includes the first all-suites hotel on the Strip with 4,027 suites (the Hotel); a gaming facility of approximately 116,000 square feet (the Casino); an enclosed retail, dining and entertainment complex of approximately 446,000 net leasable square feet (The Grand Canal Shops or the Mall), which was sold to a third party in 2004; a meeting and conference facility of approximately 650,000 square feet (the Congress Center); and an expo and convention center of approximately 1,150,000 square feet (the Sands Expo Center). The Company has begun design and construction work and has completed demolition and clearing on the site of the Palazzo Casino Resort (the Palazzo or the Palazzo Casino Resort), a second resort similar in size to the Venetian Casino Resort, which will be situated on a 14-acre site situated adjacent to the Venetian Casino Resort and the Sands Expo Center and across Sands Boulevard from the Wynn Las Vegas Resort. The Palazzo is expected to open during mid-2007. The Palazzo is expected to consist of an all-suite, 50-floor luxury hotel tower with approximately 3,025 rooms, a gaming facility of approximately 105,000 square feet, an enclosed shopping, dining and entertainment complex of approximately 375,000 square feet, which we have already pre-sold to a third party (the Phase II Mall), and additional meeting and conference space of approximately 450,000 square feet. The Palazzo Casino Resort project is expected to cost approximately $1.6 billion (exclusive of land), of which the Phase II Mall is expected to cost approximately $280.0 million.

We also own and operate the Sands Macao, a Las Vegas-style casino in Macao. We opened the Sands Macao on May 18, 2004. In addition to the Sands Macao, we are also constructing the Venetian Macao Hotel Resort Casino (the Venetian Macao Resort), an all-suites hotel, casino, and convention center complex, with a Venetian-style theme similar to that of our Las Vegas property. Under our gaming subconcession in Macao, we are obligated to develop and open the Venetian Macao Resort by June 2006 and a convention center by December 2006, and invest, or cause to be invested, at least 4.4 billion Patacas (approximately $527.7 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2005) in various development projects in Macao by June 2009. We expect that the cost of the Sands Macao and the construction of the Venetian Macao Resort will satisfy these investment obligations but we will need an extension of the June 2006 construction deadline for the Venetian Macao Resort, which we currently expect to open in mid-2007. Unless we obtain an extension, we will lose our right to continue to operate the Sands Macao or any other facilities development under our Macao gaming concession. In addition, we expect to break ground in September 2005 on an expansion of the Sands Macao that will enhance the size and scope of the property and increase gaming capacity by more than 65 percent. Construction of the Venetian Macao is moving along according to plan and we have decided to build out all 3,000 rooms in the initial phase, instead of the previously announced 1,500 rooms. We also plan to build a 400 room luxury hotel under the Four Seasons brand, which will also include approximately 600 serviced apartment units and over 100,000 square feet of retail space. We are also master planning two additional 3,000 room hotels, to be built in multiple phases, with serviced apartments and a combined 450,000 square feet of retail space across the Cotai Strip from the Venetian Macao. We will own these properties and operate them under internationally recognized third party hotel brands. We expect to make land premium payments relating to the Venetian Macao Resort and other Macao properties under development in amounts to be determined. We currently estimate that the cost for the Venetian Macao Resort will be approximately $2.0 billion (exclusive of land) and that we will need to arrange additional debt financing to finance these costs. We have not yet finalized our estimate of the cost of the other Cotai Strip developments; however we will need to arrange additional debt financing to finance those costs as well.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which supersedes FASB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This statement requires compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. The provisions of this statement are effective as of the first annual reporting period that begins after January 1, 2006. This statement requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). This cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement also addresses the accounting for the tax effects of share-based compensation awards. We currently expect to adopt this standard on January 1, 2006 using a Black-Scholes model. Under the Black-Scholes model, we expect to expense the cost of share-based compensation awards issued after January 1, 2006. Additionally, we expect to recognize compensation cost for the portion of awards outstanding on January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service has not been rendered as the requisite service is rendered on or after January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 123R to determine its impact on our future financial statements.

The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees and accounts for its stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method. Under this method, compensation expense is the difference between the market value of the Companys stock and the stock options exercise price at the measurement date. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of the stock options is equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.
Had the Company accounted for the plan under the fair value method allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), the Companys net income, and earnings per share would have been adjusted to the following pro forma amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

On June 4, 2002, the Company issued $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.0% mortgage notes due 2010 (the 11% Mortgage Notes) and on August 20, 2004, Las Vegas Sands Opco and Venetian entered into a $1.010 billion Senior Secured Credit Facility (the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility).
On February 1, 2005, the Company completed the exercise of an equity claw back under the 11% Mortgage Notes indenture pursuant to which the Company retired $291.1 million of the 11% Mortgage Notes and paid $32.0 million of redemption premiums with the proceeds from its initial public offering.
On February 10, 2005, the Company sold in a private placement transaction $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2015 (the Senior Notes) with an original issue discount of $2.3 million. Net proceeds after offering costs and original issue discount were $244.8 million. The Company, the subsidiary guarantors (including Las Vegas Sands Opco and Venetian) and the initial purchasers of the Senior Notes also entered into a registration rights agreement. Under the registration rights agreement, the Company and each subsidiary guarantor granted certain exchange and registration rights to the holders of the Senior Notes. On July 21, 2005, the Company completed an exchange offer to exchange the 6.375% Senior Notes for a new series of 6.375% Senior Notes with substantially the same terms that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
On February 22, 2005, Las Vegas Sands Opco and Venetian entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility (the Senior Secured Credit Facility), which amended and restated their $1.010 billion Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility. The Senior Secured Credit Facility consists of a $970.0 million funded term loan (the Term B Facility), a $200.0 million Term B Delayed Draw Facility available until August 20, 2005 and a $450.0 million revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility). As of June 30, 2005, no amounts have been drawn under either the Term B Delayed Draw Facility or the Revolving Facility. Las Vegas Sands Opco has guaranteed borrowings under a $50.0 million credit facility of its wholly owned subsidiary, Venetian Intermediate, to fund construction and development costs of the Macao Casino. These guarantees are supported by $50.0 million of letters of credit that were issued under the Revolving Facility. As a result of the issuance of these letters of credit, the amount available for working capital loans under the Revolving Facility is $400.0 million as of June 30, 2005.
On February 22, 2005, Las Vegas Sands Opco and Venetian repurchased $542.3 million in aggregate principal amount of their 11% Mortgage Notes pursuant to a tender offer plus a make-whole premium and accrued interest of $90.3 million, with proceeds from the Senior Notes offering, initial public offering, cash on hand and proceeds from the Senior Secured Credit Facility. On March 24, 2005, Las Vegas Sands Opco and Venetian redeemed the remaining $10.2 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 11% Mortgage Notes plus a make-whole premium and accrued interest of $1.7 million with cash on hand.
On May 23, 2005, the Company utilized existing cash to retire the $120.0 million Venetian Macao Senior Secured Notes. The Company incurred a charge of $4.2 million for loss on early retirement of indebtedness during the second quarter of 2005 as a result of retiring the Venetian Macao Senior Secured Notes.
The indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the Companys domestic subsidiaries (the Guarantors). The obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the guarantees of the Guarantors are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the Companys and Guarantors assets, other than capital stock. Borrowings under the term loan facilities and revolving loan facilities bear interest, at the Companys option, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or at an alternative base rate, plus a spread of 1.75% or 0.75%, respectively, which spreads will decrease by 0.25% if the loans achieve a rating of Ba2 or higher by Moodys and BB or higher by S&P subject to certain additional conditions. The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants and events of default customary for such financings. The average interest rate for the Senior Secured Credit Facility was 4.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2005.

The following disclosure summarizes our previous disclosure regarding this matter and discusses recent developments since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
The construction of the principal components of the Venetian Casino Resort was undertaken by Lehrer McGovern Bovis, Inc. (Bovis) pursuant to a construction management agreement, as amended. Bovis obligations were guaranteed by its corporate parent companies. In 1999, Venetian Casino Resort, LLC filed a complaint against Bovis in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada relating to the construction of the Venetian Casino Resort. In response, Bovis filed a complaint against Venetian Casino Resort, LLC in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada (the State Court Action). Commencing in 2000, the construction manager and we engaged in certain arbitration proceedings ordered by the federal court. Pursuant to agreement between the parties, certain claims brought by Bovis relating to infrastructure for the Palazzo, which is currently under construction (the Lido Claims), were severed from the State Court Action and are scheduled for trial in January 2006.
In connection with these disputes, Bovis and its subcontractors filed certain mechanics liens against the Venetian Casino Resort. We have purchased surety bonds for virtually all of the claims underlying these liens. As a result, there can be no foreclosure of the Venetian Casino Resort in connection with the claims of the construction manager and its subcontractors. However, we will be required to pay or immediately reimburse the bonding company if and to the extent that the underlying claims are judicially determined to be valid. It is likely to take a significant amount of time for their validity to be judicially determined.
We have purchased an insurance policy for loss coverage in connection with all litigation relating to the construction of the Venetian Casino Resort (the Insurance Policy). Under the Insurance Policy, we will self-insure the first $45.0 million of covered losses (excluding defense costs) and the insurer will insure defense costs and other covered losses up to the next $80.0 million. Approximately $29.0 million of the $80.0 million of policy limits has been utilized to date in connection with the litigation, primarily for defense costs. The Insurance Policy provides coverage (subject to certain exceptions) for amounts determined in the construction litigation to be owed to Bovis, and lien claims of, or acquired by, Bovis as well as any defense costs. The principal exclusions from coverage are lien claims of Bovis subcontractors directly against us (Direct Claims) and Lido Claims. However, up to $36.5 million in Direct Claims and $8.5 million in Lido Claims can be applied to satisfaction of the $45.0 million self-insured retention under the Insurance Policy.
After trial in the State Court Action, the jury awarded Bovis approximately $44.0 million in damages and awarded us approximately $2.0 million in damages. We have filed a notice of appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Notwithstanding the entry of judgment in the State Court Action, we have continued to pursue certain claims in the federal court ordered arbitration proceedings, which we believe may provide a basis for reducing the amount awarded to Bovis in the State Court Action. Because of the magnitude of the remaining open items in the federal arbitration proceedings, which we believe must be considered in any ultimate award between the parties, the magnitude of the Direct Claims, the payment of which we contend should reduce the amount awarded to Bovis in the State Court Action, and the issues raised on appeal; we are not able to determine with any reasonable certainty the value of the entirety of these claims or the probability of success on these claims at this time. Accordingly, no accrual for a liability has been reflected in the accompanying financial statements for this matter, other than approximately $7.2 million, which we had previously accrued for unpaid construction costs and which have not yet been paid pending outcome of the litigation.
10
Based on the judgment in the State Court Action and the remaining open items in the federal arbitration proceedings, the Direct Claims and the Lido Claims, we estimate that our range of loss in this matter, before the benefit of the approximately $51 million of the remaining policy limits under the Insurance Policy, is from zero (or under certain circumstances a gain) to $114.6 million.
The low end of the range assumes all remaining matters are determined in our favor, including a reversal of the jury award to Bovis by the Nevada Supreme Court following our appeal and considers the existing accrual of approximately $7.2 million for unpaid construction costs.
The high end of the range assumes that (i) we lose all remaining arbitration matters and related pending actions and appeals that counsel has advised are possible of loss, and that are not already included in the State Court Action; (ii) we are not permitted to offset against the State Court Action award amounts we pay for Direct Claims consisting of interest and attorneys fees, but we are permitted to offset the remaining amounts of the Direct Claims; and (iii) we lose the entire disputed Lido Claim. Substantially all of our attorneys fees and costs related to the defense and prosecution of claims arising out of this matter are being paid by the Insurance Policy.
There are three ways the state court judgment may change before it can be executed on by Bovis. First, if we are successful in proving our remaining claims in the federal court ordered arbitrations, the arbitration credit awards, in total, could, in our opinion, offset up to $28.0 million of the verdict. Second, we believe that certain elements of the verdict should be preempted because they are duplicative of items ordered to arbitration by federal court before the state court jury trial began. It is our position that the arbitration awards should be substituted for the portions of the verdict which overlap. In a March 2004 hearing, the state court judge acknowledged that the verdict and the judgment on the verdict will need to be adjusted after the completion of the arbitrations. Third, any amounts of principal and interest which we are obligated to pay to Bovis sub-contractors as a result of the Direct Claims for which we do not receive indemnity from Bovis should, in our opinion, be offset against principal and interest awarded in the state court judgment.
From the summer of 2000 to the present, we actively defended approximately 25 Direct Claims lawsuits in Nevada State Court brought by various Bovis sub-contractors, which brought claims directly against us for monies due the sub-contractors from Bovis as permitted by Nevada lien law, pre- and post-judgment interest on such amounts and related claims. Five Direct Claim trials ended in judgments in favor of the sub-contractors in the aggregate amounts of approximately $17.2 million including awarded interest, costs and attorneys fees, but not inclusive of post judgment interest which continues to accrue, but if paid, should be deductible from any post judgment interest due Bovis on its judgment. We are appealing all of these judgments. We cannot predict the outcomes of our appeals at this time. Our costs of appeal are being paid by the Insurance Policy and payments, if any, we make following the conclusion of the appeals will be credited toward our self-insured retention under the Insurance Policy, along with other payments relating to Direct Claims, up to an aggregate of $36.5 million.
A number of additional Direct Claims are scheduled for trial in the next 12 months. We intend to vigorously defend against each of these claims and cannot predict the outcomes of these matters at this time. Our defense costs in these matters are being paid by the Insurance Policy. In May 2005, we attempted to settle a Direct Claim brought by Midwest Drywall Company, one of the sub-contractors. The settlement was conditioned upon the Bovis state court trial judge agreeing to offset the principal and interest payments made by us to Midwest against the Bovis jury award and interest thereon, respectively, in the State Court Action. The judge denied the offset based on Bovis arguments that the offset was premature and the settlement did not go forward.
11
Bovis has made claims against us (the previously mentioned Lido Claims) for approximately $16.0 million for loans made to us, and for work allegedly performed, in connection with construction of the Palazzo resort, plus related interest and attorneys fees. Bovis has recently made an offer of judgment in connection with its claims under which Bovis would accept $13.5 million in full settlement of all of the Lido Claims. We dispute the size and characterization of the claims and dispute that interest or fees are due in connection therewith. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims at trial.
Because of the possibility of offsetting credits that may be awarded in the arbitrations described above and the elimination of duplicative claims through the substitution of arbitration awards, and/or payments in connection with the Direct Claims in the State Court Action verdict and the pendency of various appeals, no single amount within our estimated range of any loss from this matter can be reasonably determined as an estimated loss. If there is a loss, such loss could be material to our results of operations in the period that the estimate is recorded.
The following disclosure summarizes our previous disclosure regarding this matter and discusses recent developments since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
In October 15, 2004, Richard Suen and Round Square Company Limited filed an action against LVSC, Las Vegas Sands Opco, Sheldon Adelson, and William Weidner in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, asserting a breach of an alleged agreement to pay a success fee of $5.0 million and 2.0% of the net profit from the Companys Macao resort operations to the plaintiffs as well as other related claims. We intend to defend this matter vigorously. In March 2005, LVSC was dismissed as a party without prejudice based on a stipulation to do so between the parties. On May 17, 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint. The defendants responded with a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Other than the motion to dismiss, there is currently no pending activity in the matter. This action is in a preliminary stage and the Companys legal counsel is currently not able to determine the probability of the outcome of this action.
The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of business. Management has made certain estimates for potential litigation costs based upon consultation with legal counsel. Actual results could differ from these estimates; however, in the opinion of management, such litigation and claims will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
12
The Company reviews the results of operations based on the following distinct segments, which are the Venetian Casino Resort on the Las Vegas Strip, the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, and the Sands Macao in Macao. The Companys segments are based on geographic locations (Las Vegas and Macao) or on the type of business (casino resort or convention operations). The Companys segment information is as follows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto and other financial information included in this Form 10-Q. Certain statements in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements. See Special Note Regarding ForwardLooking Statements.
We own and operate the Venetian Casino Resort and the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Sands Macao in Macao, China. We are also developing two other casino resorts: the Palazzo Casino Resort, which will be adjacent to and connected with the Venetian Casino Resort, and the Venetian Macao Resort in Macao, China.
We currently offer hotel, gaming, dining, entertainment, retail, and spa and other amenities at the Venetian Casino Resort, convention and trade show space at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas and gaming, dining and VIP suites at the Sands Macao. Approximately 40.3% of our gross revenues at the Venetian Casino Resort in the first six months of 2005 were derived from gaming and 40.3% was derived from hotel rooms. The percentage of gaming revenue for the Venetian Casino Resort reflects the resorts emphasis on the group convention and trade show business and the resulting higher occupancy and room rates during mid-week periods. Approximately 95.1% of the Sands Macaos gross revenue in the first six months of 2005 was derived from gaming activities with the remainder derived from food and beverage services.
Our Palazzo Casino Resort is currently under construction and is expected to open during mid-2007. The Palazzo Casino Resort project is expected to cost approximately $1.6 billion (exclusive of land), of which the Phase II Mall is expected to cost approximately $280.0 million. In addition, we expect tenants will make significant additional capital expenditures to build out stores and restaurants in the Palazzo Casino Resort. On August 20, 2004, we entered into the $1.010 billion Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility to, among other things, finance the Palazzo Casino Resort construction costs. On February 22, 2005, we entered into the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which amended the Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility and increased the size of the facility to $1.620 billion. In addition, on September 30, 2004, we entered into a $250.0 million Phase II Mall Construction Loan to fund a portion of the Phase II Mall construction costs. See Aggregate Indebtedness and Contractual Obligations. We intend to use $361.8 million (plus the interest earnings) of the proceeds from the $970.0 million Term B Facility, $200.0 million from the Term B Delayed Draw Facility, $239.5 million of proceeds from the Phase II Mall Construction Loan, cash on hand, borrowings under our Revolving Facility and operating cash flow to fund the development and construction costs for the Palazzo Casino Resort (including the Phase II Mall) and to pay related fees and expenses.

We are building the Venetian Macao Resort, an all-suites hotel, casino and convention center complex, with a Venetian-style theme similar to that of our Las Vegas properties. Under our gaming subconcession in Macao, we are obligated to develop and open the Venetian Macao Resort by June 2006 and a convention center by December 2006. We are also obligated to invest at least 4.4 billion Patacas (approximately $527.7 million at exchange rates in effect on June 30, 2005) in various development projects in Macao by June 2009. We expect that the cost of the Sands Macao and the construction of the Venetian Macao Resort will satisfy these investment obligations, but we will need to extend the June 2006 construction deadline for the Venetian Macao Resort, which we currently expect to open in mid-2007. In addition, we expect to break ground in September 2005 on an expansion of the Sands Macao that will enhance the size and scope of the property and increase gaming capacity by more than 65 percent. Construction of the Venetian Macao Resort is moving along according to plan and we have decided to build out all 3,000 rooms in the initial phase, instead of the previously announced 1,500 rooms. We also plan to build a 400 room luxury hotel under the Four Seasons brand, which will also include approximately 600 serviced apartment units and over 100,000 square feet of retail space. We are also master planning two additional 3,000 room hotels, to be built in multiple phases, with serviced apartments and a combined 450,000 square feet of retail space across the Cotai Strip from the Venetian Macao Resort. We will own these properties and operate them under internationally recognized third party hotel brands.
On April 12, 2004, we sold The Grand Canal Shops and leased certain restaurant and other retail assets of the Venetian Casino Resort for approximately $766.0 million. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we deferred a portion of the gain from the sale of The Grand Canal Shops. First, we deferred $109.2 million of the gain from the transaction deemed prepaid operating lease payments, which related to 19 spaces currently occupied by various tenants and which we leased to the purchaser of The Grand Canal Shops for an annual rent of one dollar per year under an 89-year operating lease. The purchaser of The Grand Canal Shops assumed, and is entitled to rent payments under, the tenant leases for these 19 spaces. This deferred amount is amortized over the 89-year lease term on a straight-line basis. Second, we deferred $77.2 million, which constitutes the estimated net present value of payments we make to the purchaser of The Grand Canal Shops under three lease back arrangements. This deferred gain will be amortized to reduce lease expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the leases.
We are party to three Tenant Lease Termination and Asset Purchase Agreements. As of June 30, 2005, the total remaining payment obligations under these arrangements was $12.1 million.
In connection with sale of The Grand Canal Shops (the Mall Sale), we entered into an agreement with General Growth Properties (the Mall Purchaser) to construct and sell the Phase II Mall. The purchase price that the purchaser of The Grand Canal Shops has agreed to pay for the Phase II Mall is the greater of (i) $250.0 million and (ii) the Phase II Malls net operating income for months 19 through 30 of its operations divided by a capitalization rate. The capitalization rate is 6.0% up to $38.0 million of net operating income and 8.0% above $38.0 million.
We have entered into agreements to develop and lease gaming and entertainment facilities with two prominent football clubs in the United Kingdom, subject to the award of a gaming license for the applicable facility and are in discussion with several others to build entertainment and gaming facilities in major cities.
We have made a proposal to develop a large integrated resort, including a casino, in Singapore to the Singapore government.

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates those estimates, including those related to asset impairment, accruals for slot marketing points, self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies, and litigation. We state these accounting policies in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and in relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. These estimates are based on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from those estimates and we may change our estimates and assumptions in future evaluations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may have a material effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We believe that the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
We maintain an allowance, or reserve, for doubtful accounts at our operating casino resorts, the Venetian Casino Resort and the Sands Macao. The provision for doubtful accounts, an operating expense, increases the allowance for doubtful accounts, while specific write-offs decrease the allowance for doubtful accounts. We regularly evaluate the allowance for doubtful accounts. At the Venetian Casino Resort where credit or marker play is significant we apply standard reserve percentages to aged account balances under a specified dollar amount and specifically analyze the collectibility of each account with a balance over the specified dollar amount, based upon the age of the account, the customers financial condition, collection history and any other known information. We also monitor regional and global economic conditions and forecasts to determine if reserve levels are adequate. At the Sands Macao where credit or marker play is not significant, we apply a standard reserve percentage to aged account balances. The mix of credit play as a percentage of total casino play has decreased significantly during 2005 because the Sands Macao table games play is primarily cash play, while the Venetian Casino Resort credit table games play represents approximately 59% of total table games play. Our estimate of the provision for doubtful accounts was $0.8 million, $4.2 million, $3.4 million and $6.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, respectively.
We maintain accruals for health and workers compensation self-insurance, slot club point redemption and group sales commissions, which are classified in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Management determines the adequacy of these accruals by periodically evaluating the historical experience and projected trends related to these accruals. If such information indicates that the accruals are overstated or understated, or if business conditions indicate we should adjust the assumptions utilized, we will reduce or provide for additional accruals as appropriate.
We are subject to various claims and legal actions, including lawsuits with our construction manager, Lehrer McGovern Bovis, Inc., for the original construction of the Venetian Casino Resort. Some of these matters relate to personal injuries to customers and damage to customers personal assets. Management has not established an accrual for any final resolution in connection with the construction litigation because any particular final resolution, while reasonably possible, has not been determined to be probable, nor can it be measured with any reasonable certainty. It is reasonably possible that this position could change in the near term as arbitration proceedings are concluded, and the amount of any such change could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Management estimates the accruals for other claims and legal actions based upon historical experience and include such accruals in the other accrued liability category in our consolidated balance sheet.

At June 30, 2005, we had net property and equipment of $2.093 billion, representing 62.9% of our total assets. We depreciate property and equipment on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which we use certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of property and equipment if events and circumstance warrant such an assessment, we must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change, we may be required to record an impairment loss for these assets. Such an impairment loss would be recognized as a non-cash component of operating income.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which supersedes FASB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This statement requires compensation costs related to share based payment transactions to be recognized in financial statements. The provisions of this statement are effective as of the first annual reporting period that begins after January 1, 2006. This statement requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). This cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. This statement also addresses the accounting for the tax effects of share-based compensation awards. We currently expect to adopt this standard on January 1, 2006 using a Black-Scholes model. Under the Black-Scholes model, we expect to expense the cost of share-based compensation awards issued after January 1, 2006. Additionally, we expect to recognize compensation costs for the portion of awards outstanding on January 1, 2006 for which the requisite service has not been rendered as the requisite service is rendered on or after January 1, 2006. We are currently evaluating the provisions of SFAS 123R to determine its impact on our future financial statements.

The Venetian Casino Resorts operating revenue is dependent upon the volume of customers that stay at the hotel, which affects the price that can be charged for hotel rooms and the volume of table games and slot machine play. The Sands Macao is almost wholly dependent on casino customers that visit the casino on a daily basis. Hotel revenues are not expected to be material for the Sands Macao. Sands Macao visitors arrive by ferry, automobile, airplane or helicopter from Hong Kong, cities in China, and other Southeast Asian cities in close proximity to Macao.
The following are the key measurements we use to evaluate operating revenue. Hotel revenue measurements include hotel occupancy rate, which is the average percentage of available hotel rooms occupied during a period, and average daily room rate, which is the average price of occupied rooms per day. Revenue per available room represents a summary of hotel average daily room rates and occupancy. Because not all available rooms are occupied, average daily room rates are higher than revenue per available room.
Casino revenue measurements for Las Vegas: table games drop and slot handle are volume measurements. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of drop or handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Table games drop represents the sum of markers issued (credit instruments) less markers paid at the table, plus cash deposited in the table drop box. Slot handle is the gross amount wagered or coin placed into slot machines in aggregate for the period cited. Drop and handle are abbreviations for table games drop and slot handle. Based upon our mix of table games, our table games produce a statistical average table win percentage (calculated before discounts) as measured as a percentage of table game drops of 20.0% to 21.0% and slot machines produce a statistical average slot machine win percentage (calculated before slot club cash incentives) as measured as a percentage of slot machine handle generally between 6.0% and 7.0%.
Casino revenue measurements for Macao: We view Macao table games as being segregated into two groups, consistent with the Macao markets convention: 1) Rolling Chip play (all VIP play) and 2) Non-Rolling Chip play, (mostly non-VIP players). The volume measurement for Rolling Chip play is gaming chips wagered. The volume measurement for Non-Rolling Chip is table games drop as described above. Rolling Chip volume and Non-Rolling Chip volume are not equivalent because Rolling Chip volume is a measure of amounts wagered versus dropped, Rolling Chip volume is substantially higher than drop. Slot handle at the Sands Macao is the gross amount wagered or coin placed into slot machines in aggregate for the period cited.
We view Rolling Chip table games win as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume and we view Non-Rolling Chip table games win as a percentage of drop. Win or hold percentage represents the percentage of Rolling Chip volume, Non-Rolling Chip drop or slot handle that is won by the casino and recorded as casino revenue. Based upon our mix of table games in Macao, our Rolling Chip table games win percentage (calculated before discounts and commissions) as measured as a percentage of Rolling Chip volume is expected to be 2.5% to 2.8% and our Non-Rolling Chip play table games are expected to produce a statistical average table win percentage as measured as a percentage of table game drop of 16.5% to 17.5%. Like in Las Vegas, our Macao slot machines produce a statistical average slot machine win percentage as measured as a percentage of slot machine handle of generally between 6.0% and 7.0%.
Actual win may vary from the statistical average. Generally, slot machine play at the Venetian Casino Resort and the Sands Macao is conducted on a cash basis, the Venetian Casino Resorts table games revenue is approximately 59.0% from credit based guests wagering and the Sands Macao table game play is conducted primarily on a cash basis.
