Item 8.01 Other Events.

        On July 29, 2004, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Interface Group Holding Company Inc. (Interface Holding) from its principal stockholder in exchange for the issuance to the principal stockholder of 220,370 additional shares of its common stock. Interface Holding indirectly owns the Sands Expo and Convention Center and holds the $252.6 million Redeemable Preferred Interest in Venetian Casino Resort, LLC. The Company accounted for this acquisition as a reorganization of entities under common control, in a manner similar to a pooling-of-interests.

        On October 12, 2004 the Company filed on a Form 8-K the audited consolidated financial statements of Interface Holding for the year ended December 31, 2003, the report of independent auditors related thereto, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2004, and for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2004 of Interface Holding.

        Pursuant to the requirements of APB 16, the Company is filing as Exhibit 99.1 summary financial information set forth under Section 1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X for the first one month of combined operations.

        The financial information filed herewith only covers the first one month of combined operations as required by APB 16. Accordingly, these results are not indicative of the results of operations of the Company to be expected any other month, for the third quarter of 2004, or for any other future period, and should not be relied upon as such.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
