PROXY STATEMENT
 
PROXY AND VOTING INFORMATION
      Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has provided you with these proxy materials in connection with its solicitation of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of stockholders. We will hold the annual meeting on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino located at 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, beginning at 10:00 a.m., Las Vegas Time. Please note that throughout these proxy materials we may refer to Las Vegas Sands Corp. as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.” We first began mailing this Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy card on or about April 28, 2006.
Who Can Vote
      Only stockholders of record of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), as of April 14, 2006, will be entitled to vote at the meeting.
How Many Shares Can Be Voted
      The authorized capital stock of the Company presently consists of 1,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock. At the close of business on April 14, 2006, 354,317,234 shares of Common Stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on that date on all matters that may come before the meeting. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.
How You Can Vote
      You may vote in person by attending the meeting or by completing and returning a proxy by mail. To vote your proxy by mail, mark your vote on the enclosed proxy card, then follow the instructions on the card.
      The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of at least a majority of the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock is necessary to constitute a quorum at the meeting. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, your broker, as the record holder of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. In accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), brokerage firms may give a proxy to vote their customer’s stock without customer instructions if (i) they transmitted proxy materials to the beneficial owner of the stock, (ii) did not receive voting instructions by the date specified in the statement accompanying the proxy materials and (iii) the brokerage firm has no knowledge of any contest with respect to the actions to be taken at the stockholders’ meeting and such actions are adequately disclosed to stockholders and do not include authorization for a merger, consolidation or any matter that could substantially affect the rights or privileges of the stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business.
      The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting will be required for the election of directors. Each other item to be acted upon at the meeting requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item, assuming that a quorum is present or represented at the meeting. A properly executed proxy

marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, and will have no effect. With respect to the other proposal, a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN,” although counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, will not be voted. Accordingly, an abstention will have the same effect as a vote cast against a proposal. Under Nevada law, a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the matters presented for a stockholder vote.
      Sheldon G. Adelson, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of our Company, beneficially owned approximately 58.4% of our Common Stock as of the record date and will be entitled to vote his shares at the annual meeting. This includes approximately 6.3% of our Common Stock held by trusts for the benefit of Mr. Adelson’s family members for which Mr. Adelson and Charles D. Forman, a director of our Company, serve as trustees. In addition, Dr. Miriam Adelson, Mr. Adelson’s wife, and Mr. Forman are the trustees of four trusts for the benefit of Mr. Adelson’s family members that collectively beneficially own approximately 10.7% of our Common Stock. Mr. Adelson has indicated that he intends to vote all of his shares in favor of both of the director nominees and for the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Each of the trustees named above has determined to vote all of the trusts’ shares in favor of both of the director nominees and for the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.
      If you duly execute the proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote, your shares will be voted as our Board recommends, which is “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director as set forth under Proposal 1 below and “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2006 as described in Proposal 2 below.
How to Revoke or Change Your Vote
      You may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised in any of three ways:
  •  by notifying the Corporate Secretary of the revocation in writing;
 
  •  by delivering to the Corporate Secretary a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date; or
 
  •  by voting in person at the annual meeting.
      You will not revoke a proxy merely by attending the annual meeting. To revoke a proxy, you must take one of the actions described above.
      If you hold your shares in a brokerage or other account, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or nominee.
      Any revocation of a proxy, or a new proxy bearing a later date, should be sent to the following address: Corporate Secretary, Las Vegas Sands Corp., 3355 Las Vegas Sands Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
Other Matters to be Acted upon at the Meeting
      Our Board presently is not aware of any matters other than those specifically stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting, which are to be presented for action at the annual meeting. If any matter other than those described in this Proxy Statement is presented at the annual meeting on which a vote may properly be taken, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting those shares.

Adjournments and Postponements
      Any action on the items of business described above may be considered at the annual meeting at the time and on the date specified above or at any time and date to which the annual meeting may be properly adjourned or postponed.
Electronic Delivery of Proxy Materials and Annual Report
      The Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and the Company’s 2005 Annual Report are available on our website at www.lasvegassands.com. In the future, instead of receiving copies of the Proxy Statement and annual report in the mail, stockholders may elect to receive an e-mail with a link to these documents on the internet. Receiving your proxy materials online saves the Company the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business and gives you an automatic link to the proxy voting site.
      Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered in your own name, to enroll in the electronic delivery service go directly to our transfer agent’s website at www.amstock.com anytime and follow the instructions.
      Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are not registered in your name, to enroll in the electronic delivery service check the information provided to you by your bank or broker, or contact your bank or broker for information on electronic delivery service.
Delivery of One Proxy Statement and Annual Report to a Single Household to Reduce Duplicate Mailings
      Each year in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is required to send to each stockholder of record a Proxy Statement and annual report, and to arrange for a Proxy Statement and annual report to be sent to each beneficial stockholder whose shares are held by or in the name of a broker, bank, trust or other nominee. Because many stockholders hold shares of the Company’s Common Stock in multiple accounts, this process results in duplicate mailings of Proxy Statements and annual reports to stockholders who share the same address. To avoid this duplication, unless the Company receives instructions to the contrary from one or more of the stockholders sharing a mailing address, only one Proxy Statement will be sent to each address. Stockholders may, on their own initiative, avoid receiving duplicate mailings and save the Company the cost of producing and mailing duplicate documents as follows:
      Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered in your own name and you are interested in consenting to the delivery of a single Proxy Statement or annual report, to enroll in the electronic delivery service go directly to our transfer agent’s website at www.amstock.com anytime and follow the instructions.
      Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are not registered in your own name, your broker, bank, trust or other nominee that holds your shares may have asked you to consent to the delivery of a single Proxy Statement or annual report if there are other Las Vegas Sands Corp. stockholders who share an address with you. If you currently receive more than one Proxy Statement or annual report at your household, and would like to receive only one copy of each in the future, you should contact your nominee.
      Right to Request Separate Copies. If you consent to the delivery of a single Proxy Statement and annual report but later decide that you would prefer to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement or annual report, as applicable, for each stockholder sharing your address, then please notify us or your nominee, as applicable, and we or they will promptly deliver such additional Proxy Statements or annual reports. If you wish to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement or annual report for each stockholder sharing your address in the future, you may contact our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, directly by telephone at 1-800-937-5449 or by visiting its website at www.amstock.com and following the instructions.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) requires the Company’s executive officers and directors to file reports of ownership of our Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers and directors are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based upon a review of these filings and representations from the Company’s directors and executive officers that no other reports were required, the Company notes that all reports for the year 2005 were filed on a timely basis, except that due to administrative errors, Form 4s for each of Messrs. Chafetz, Forman, Leven, Purcell and Siegel reporting their annual award of 1,348 shares of the Company’s restricted stock were filed late and Form 4s for each of Messrs. Serwin and Siegel reporting their annual award of options to purchase 12,750 and 5,100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively, were filed late.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS COMMITTEES
Board
      NYSE Listing Standards. Certain provisions of the corporate governance rules of the NYSE are not applicable to “controlled companies.” “Controlled companies” under those rules are companies of which more than 50 percent of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company. The Company currently is a “controlled company” under this definition by virtue of the ownership by Mr. Adelson of in excess of 50 percent of the voting power of the Common Stock and his ability to elect the entire Board. Accordingly, the Company has chosen to take advantage of certain of the exemptions provided in the NYSE rules. Specifically, the Company is not required to have a majority of independent directors or a nominating/governance committee or a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.
      Independent Directors. As a “controlled” company pursuant to the rules of the NYSE, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors on our Board. The Board has determined that three of the seven members of the Board currently satisfy the criteria for independence under applicable Exchange Act and NYSE rules, namely Messrs. Leven, Purcell and Siegel. In making its determination, the Board reviewed all the relevant facts and circumstances, the standards set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the NYSE rules and other applicable laws and regulations.
      Two of our directors, Messrs. Chafetz and Forman, have business and personal relationships with our controlling stockholder, Mr. Adelson. Mr. Chafetz was a stockholder, vice president and director of the entity that owned and operated the COMDEX trade show and The Sands Expo Center which were created and developed by Mr. Adelson. Mr. Forman was vice president and general counsel of this entity. Mr. Chafetz is also a director and a 12.5% shareholder of entities that control GWV Vacations and Sunburst Vacations and that are controlled by Mr. Adelson. Mr. Forman is also a trustee of several trusts for the benefit of Mr. Adelson and his family that beneficially own approximately 16.9% of our Common Stock and a trustee of a trust for the benefit of Mr. Chafetz’s children. These relationships with Mr. Adelson also include making joint investments and other significant financial dealings. As a result, Messrs. Adelson, Chafetz and Forman may have their financial interests aligned and therefore, the Board does not consider Messrs. Chafetz and Forman to be independent directors.
      Board Meetings. The Board held 11 meetings and acted by written consent six times during 2005. The work of the Company’s directors is performed not only at meetings of the Board and its committees, but also by consideration of the Company’s business through the review of documents and in numerous communications among Board members and others. During 2005, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and committees on which they served (held during the period for which they served).
Committees
      Standing Committees. Our Board has two standing committees: an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and a compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”). We are not required to have a nominating committee and the director nomination function is performed by the Board as a whole as described under “— Corporate Governance — Nomination of Directors” below.
      Audit Committee. The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in monitoring the integrity of our financial statements, our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications and independence, the performance of our audit function and independent registered public accounting firm and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Among other things, our Audit Committee selects our independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with such firm the plan, scope and results of such audit, and the fees for the services performed. The Audit Committee also reviews with the independent registered public accounting firm and internal auditors the adequacy of internal control systems, receives internal audit reports and reports its findings to the full Board.

Table of Contents

      The current members of our Audit Committee are Irwin A. Siegel (Chairman), Michael A. Leven and James L. Purcell. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Siegel, Leven and Purcell is independent under applicable NYSE and federal securities rules and regulations on independence of Audit Committee members. Charles D. Forman served on the Audit Committee until December 14, 2005, and served as its Chairman until February 6, 2005. The Board determined that Mr. Forman was not independent for purposes of the NYSE rules and regulations because he is a trustee of certain trusts established by Mr. Adelson for his benefit and the benefit of his family members. Under the transition rules of the NYSE, our Audit Committee had to be composed entirely of independent directors by December 14, 2005 (one year from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with our initial public offering), but before that time our Audit Committee was permitted to have only a majority of independent directors. The Board determined that it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to take advantage of the transition rules of the NYSE and maintain Mr. Forman as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee until December 14, 2005, so that the Audit Committee would continue to have the benefit of Mr. Forman’s experience as chairman of the Audit Committee prior to and immediately following the Company’s initial public offering. Mr. Forman resigned from the Audit Committee on December 14, 2005. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is “financially literate” and that Mr. Siegel qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in the NYSE’s listing standards and the SEC regulations. The Audit Committee held seven meetings and did not act by written consent during 2005.
      Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the authority to approve salaries and bonuses and other compensation matters for our officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee has the authority to approve employee benefit plans as well as administer our 1997 Fixed Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and our 2004 Equity Award Plan (the “2004 Plan”). The current members of the Compensation Committee are Charles D. Forman (Chair), Irwin Chafetz, Michael A. Leven, and James L. Purcell. The Compensation Committee held five meetings and did not act by written consent during 2005. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”), compensation paid to members of senior management in excess of $1 million per year is not deductible by the Company unless the compensation is “performance-based” as described in the applicable regulations. In 2005, the Compensation Committee established a Performance Subcommittee to make the required determinations relating to “performance based” compensation for purposes of Section 162(m). Messrs. Leven (Chair) and Purcell are the members of the Performance Subcommittee and are independent directors under Section 162(m). The Performance Subcommittee met five times (as part of each Compensation Committee meeting) and also acted once by written consent during 2005.
      Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The members of the Compensation Committee in 2005 were Messrs. Forman, Chafetz, Leven and Purcell. Mr. Forman was, from 1989 to 1995, an officer of Interface Group-Massachusetts, Inc. and Interface Group-Nevada, Inc., companies controlled by Mr. Adelson (our “principal stockholder”). Mr. Chafetz is a director of The Interface Group, a Massachusetts Business Trust which controls Interface Group-Massachusetts, LLC, a company that owns and operates GWV Vacations and Sunburst Vacations LLC. From 1989 to 1995, Mr. Chafetz was a vice president and director of Interface Group-Nevada, Inc. and a director and vice-president of our subsidiary, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. Except as described above, none of the other members of our Compensation Committee is, or has been, an employee or officer of the Company. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the Board or Compensation Committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve on our Board or Compensation Committee.
Director Compensation
      Each non-employee director receives an annual cash retainer of $50,000 and an annual grant of restricted stock equal in value to $50,000. The restricted stock is subject to a one year forfeiture period and may not be sold until the director retires from the Board (except to the extent necessary to cover taxes incurred as a result of the vesting of the restricted stock). In addition, each non-employee director receives a one time grant of options upon becoming a non-employee director with an aggregate value of $100,000 on the date of grant (based on the Black-Scholes option valuation model). These options vest at a rate of 20% of the option grant

Table of Contents

each year over five years. Both the restricted stock grants and the options are granted to the directors pursuant to our 2004 Plan. In 2005, Messrs. Chafetz, Forman, Leven, Purcell and Siegel each received 1,348 restricted shares of stock and Messrs. Chafetz and Siegel received options to purchase 4,970 and 5,100 shares of Common Stock, respectively, as their one-time option grants upon becoming non-employee directors.
      We pay non-employee directors $1,500 for each meeting of the Board that they attend ($750 for telephonic meetings) and $1,000 for each meeting of a committee of the Board that they attend ($500 for telephonic meetings). Annual retainers are paid to the chairperson of each committee of the Board as follows: Audit Committee chairperson, increased from $10,000 to $20,000, effective January 1, 2006; and Compensation Committee chairperson, $5,000. The above cash compensation may be deferred by directors into a deferred compensation plan that we have established. Directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors, including travel expenses for meeting attendance. As a retired partner of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, Mr. Purcell is obligated to turn over to his former law firm all consideration he receives as a director of our Company.
Corporate Governance
      Commitment to Corporate Governance. Our Board and management have a strong commitment to effective corporate governance. We have in place a comprehensive corporate governance framework for our operations which, among other things, takes into account the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE. The key components of this framework are set forth in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and by-laws and the following additional documents:
  •  our Audit Committee Charter;
 
  •  our Compensation Committee Charter;
 
  •  our Corporate Governance Guidelines;
 
  •  our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
 
  •  our Statement on Reporting Ethical Violations.
      Copies of each of these documents are available on our website at www.lasvegassands.com by clicking on “Investor Information,” then “Corporate Governance.” Copies also are available without charge by sending a written request to the Corporate Secretary at the following address: Las Vegas Sands Corp., 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109.
      Corporate Governance Guidelines. We have adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines for the Company setting forth the general principles governing the conduct of the Company’s business and the role, functions, duties and responsibilities of the Board, including, but not limited to such matters as composition, membership criteria, orientation and continuing education, retirement, committees, compensation, meeting procedures, annual evaluation and management succession planning.
      Code of Conduct. We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers (including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), employees and agents. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics establishes policies and procedures that the Board believes promote the highest standards of integrity, compliance with the law and personal accountability. The Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is provided to all new directors, officers and employees.
      Statement on Reporting Ethical Violations. We have adopted a Statement on Reporting Ethical Violations to facilitate and encourage the reporting of any misconduct at the Company, including violations or potential violations of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and ensure that those reporting such misconduct will not be subject to harassment, intimidation or other retaliatory action. The Statement on Reporting Ethical Violations is provided to all new directors, officers and employees.

      Nomination of Directors. The Board does not have a standing nominating committee because it has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company for this function to be performed by the Board as a whole. The candidates for election at this annual meeting were nominated by the Board. The Board, in making its selection of director candidates, considers the appropriate skills and personal characteristics required in light of the then-current makeup of the Board and in the context of the perceived needs of the Company at the time.
      The Board considers a number of factors in selecting director candidates, including:
  •  the ethical standards and integrity in personal and professional dealings of the candidate;
 
  •  the independence of the candidate under legal, regulatory and other applicable standards;
 
  •  the diversity of the existing Board, so that we maintain a body of directors from diverse professional and personal backgrounds;
 
  •  whether the skills and experience of the candidate will complement that of the existing Board;
 
  •  the number of other public company boards of directors on which the candidate serves or intends to serve, with the expectation that the candidate would not serve on the boards of directors of more than three other public companies;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure the diligent performance of his or her Board duties;
 
  •  the ability of the candidate to read and understand fundamental financial statements and understand the use of financial ratios and information in evaluating the financial performance of the Company;
 
  •  the willingness of the candidate to be accountable for his or her decisions as a director;
 
  •  the ability of the candidate to provide wise and thoughtful counsel on a broad range of issues;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to interact with other directors in a manner that encourages responsible, open, challenging and inspired discussion;
 
  •  whether the candidate has a history of achievements that reflects high standards;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to be committed to, and enthusiastic about, his or her performance for the Company as a director, both in absolute terms and relative to his or her peers;
 
  •  whether the candidate possesses the courage to express views openly, even in the face of opposition;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties and responsibilities set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines and By-Laws of the Company;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to comply with the duties of care, loyalty and confidentiality applicable to directors of publicly traded corporations organized in our jurisdiction of incorporation;
 
  •  the ability and willingness of the candidate to adhere to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including, but not limited to, the policies on conflicts of interest expressed therein; and
 
  •  such other attributes of the candidate and external factors as the Board deems appropriate.
      The Board has the discretion to weight these factors as it deems appropriate. The importance of these factors may vary from candidate to candidate.
      The Board will consider candidates recommended by directors and members of management and may, in its discretion, engage one or more search firms to assist in the recruitment of director candidates. The Board does not have a policy for considering director candidates recommended by security holders and believes that not having such a policy is appropriate in light of our principal stockholder’s majority ownership of the Company’s Common Stock.

(1)  Bonus amounts reflect bonuses earned for performance during the indicated year, regardless of when paid. Since our initial public offering, all bonuses have been approved by the Compensation Committee or its Performance Subcommittee, as applicable. The bonuses reported above in respect of 2005 were paid in February 2006. Due to an improper interpretation of their employment agreements, the bonus payments made to the named executives exceeded the bonuses earned by them under their respective employment agreements by the amounts set forth after their names as follows: Mr. Adelson ($876,697); Mr. Weidner ($712,316); Mr. Stone ($536,977); Mr. Goldstein ($458,257); and Mr. Henry ($219,174). On March 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee met to consider what action should be taken with respect to the overpayments. A majority of the Committee concluded that the outstanding performance of the Company in 2005 justified payment to the executives of supplemental bonuses equal to the overpayments made to each of them in February. James L. Purcell, a member of the Compensation Committee and of its Performance Subcommittee, dissented. In July 2004, we made one-time cash incentive payments to Messrs. Adelson, Weidner, Stone and Goldstein in the amounts of $30.0 million, $11.2 million, $10.2 million and $10.6 million, respectively. These incentive payments were paid to these executives for the significant value they created in connection with securing the financing of the Phase II mall and arranging for the sale of the Phase II mall.
(2)  On January 11, 2006, we awarded shares of restricted stock under our 2004 Equity Award Plan to Messrs. Weidner, Stone, Goldstein and Henry in connection with their employment with our Company during 2005. The amounts shown in the table represent the market value of the shares of restricted stock,

based on the closing price of $47.32 per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE on the grant date. None of these individuals held any shares of restricted stock as of December 31, 2005. Based on the closing price of $39.47 per share of our Common Stock on the NYSE on December 30, 2005, Mr. Weidner held 23,479 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate value of $926,716; Mr. Stone held 20,544 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate value of $810,872; Mr. Goldstein held 17,609 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate value of $695,027; and Mr. Henry held 5,869 shares of restricted stock having an aggregate value of $231,649. Holders of shares of restricted stock are credited with any dividends that would be payable on the shares of Common Stock.

Plans
Las Vegas Sands, Inc. 1997 Fixed Stock Option Plan
      We assumed the Las Vegas Sands, Inc. 1997 Fixed Stock Option Plan on December 20, 2004. The 1997 Plan provides for 19,952,456 shares of our Common Stock to be reserved for issuance to officers and other key employees or consultants of our Company or any of our “affiliates” or “subsidiaries” (each as defined in the 1997 Plan) pursuant to options granted under the 1997 Plan. The 1997 Plan was terminated with respect to future grants effective on December 20, 2004, and no options remain outstanding under the 1997 Plan as of December 31, 2005.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. 2004 Equity Award Plan
      We adopted the Las Vegas Sands Corp. 2004 Equity Award Plan, which became effective on December 15, 2004. Our Compensation Committee administers our 2004 Plan. Our Compensation Committee has full discretion to administer and interpret the 2004 Plan, to adopt such rules, regulations and procedures as it deems necessary or advisable and to determine, among other things, the time or times at which the awards may be exercised and whether and under what circumstances an award may be exercised.

20


Table of Contents

      The 2004 Plan provides for an aggregate of 26,344,000 shares of our Common Stock to be available for awards to any of our, our subsidiaries’ or our affiliates’ employees, directors, officers or consultants. The Compensation Committee may grant awards of nonqualified stock options, incentive (qualified) stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock bonus awards, performance compensation awards or any combination of the foregoing. Each award granted by our Compensation Committee is subject to the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.
      No participant may be granted awards of options and stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock in any one year. No more than 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted under our 2004 Plan with respect to performance compensation awards in any one year. Under our 2004 Plan, our non-employee directors receive automatic awards of options and restricted stock.
      The 2004 Plan has a term of ten years and no further awards may be granted after the expiration of the term.
      In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2004 Plan) if our Compensation Committee so determines:
  •  all outstanding options and equity (other than performance compensation awards) issued under the 2004 Plan shall fully vest;
 
  •  performance compensation awards shall vest based on the level of attainment of the performance goals; and/or
 
  •  outstanding awards may be cancelled and the value of the awards paid to the participants in connection with a change in control.
      2005 Awards under the 2004 Plan. During 2005 options to purchase an aggregate of 304,820 shares of our Common Stock under our 2004 Plan were granted to two of our directors and several newly hired key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with a weighted average exercise price per share equal to $35.50. Also during 2005, 8,088 shares of restricted stock were granted under our 2004 Plan to five of our directors and one key employee of one of our subsidiaries.
Executive Cash Incentive Plan
      The purpose of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. Executive Cash Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) is to establish a program of annual incentive compensation awards for designated officers and other key executives of Las Vegas Sands Corp. and its subsidiaries and divisions that is directly related to our performance results and to ensure that bonus payments made to the named executive officers will be tax deductible to us under either the “performance-based compensation” exception to Section 162(m) of the Code or transitional rules applicable following an initial public offering.
      The Incentive Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee, which has all the authority that may be necessary or helpful to enable it to discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Incentive Plan. Except as otherwise specifically limited in the Incentive Plan, our Compensation Committee has full power and authority to construe, interpret and administer the incentive plan.
      For each performance period, our Compensation Committee establishes a maximum award and goals for each participant (“performance goals”). Performance goals may relate to our performance, the performance of one or more of our subsidiaries, divisions or departments and/or performance specific to the participant’s function. Participants earn awards only upon the attainment of the applicable performance goals during the applicable performance period, as and to the extent established by our Compensation Committee. The maximum amount payable to a participant in respect of an annual bonus award that is intended to qualify for the “performance-based compensation” exception to Section 162(m) of the Code is $10.0 million.

Deferred Compensation Plan
      The Las Vegas Sands Corp. Deferred Compensation Plan, which was effective as of January 1, 2005, provides benefits to non-employee directors and a select group of management or highly paid employees to be selected by our Compensation Committee. All non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the Deferred Compensation Plan.
      The Deferred Compensation Plan allows participating employees to defer payment of their base salary and/or bonus and non-employee directors to defer payment of director fees. With respect to each calendar year, a participating employee may elect to defer up to 75% of his base salary and 100% of his bonus, subject to a minimum deferral of $5,000 in the aggregate. Non-employee directors may defer 100% of their annual director fees (with no required minimum deferral). In addition, we may make contributions to the Deferred Compensation Plan on behalf of a participant that may be subject to vesting requirements described in the Deferred Compensation Plan. All amounts credited to a participant’s accounts under the Deferred Compensation Plan are deemed to be invested in one or more measurement funds selected by the participant, which funds reflect rates of return under mutual funds selected by the compensation committee.
      There are currently no participants in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation governance
      The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has direct responsibility for approving compensation awarded to all executive officers of the Company, including the named executive officers (the “Executive Officers”). The Committee authorizes all awards under the Company’s equity-based compensation plans and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.
Compensation philosophy and strategy
      The Committee was established during 2004. In anticipation of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the Committee undertook a comprehensive review of total compensation of executives among 16 companies in the gaming industry. In conjunction with this review, the Committee developed a new compensation philosophy, objectives and structure for total compensation for the Company’s Executive Officers. We engaged a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm to conduct the analysis and provide independent insights regarding executive compensation. With their assistance, we developed a philosophy and structure for Executive Officer total compensation reflecting four primary areas of emphasis:
  •  Appropriate orientation. The total compensation package should be oriented toward variable and longer term elements (i.e. annual and long-term incentives and equity awards) as opposed to base salary. This “mix” of compensation elements is consistent with and supports the Company’s current business strategy and direction, focusing on long-term growth and expansion globally. In addition, this mix is consistent with gaming industry practice, further enhancing the Company’s ability to attract and retain needed industry talent to support this growth.
 
  •  Competitive package and levels. The total compensation package and levels for Executive Officers should be competitive with the external marketplace. Competitive compensation levels are critical to attracting and retaining key executive talent. Through the compensation review, competitive pay levels were established for the Executive Officers relative to gaming industry peers on a size-adjusted basis. Further, the total compensation package was designed to be scalable — i.e. Executive Officer compensation levels and incentive opportunities will be commensurate with the Company’s growth and reflect its financial performance.
 
  •  Performance-based. A majority of total compensation for Executive Officers should be based on Company results achieved relative to pre-determined performance objectives. In addition, compensation opportunities should reflect the Company’s high level of relative performance achieved. We believe Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rents (EBITDAR) has a positive correlation with long-term stock price appreciation. As such, incentive and performance-based equity opportunities for Executive Officers are structured to deliver 75th percentile total compensation levels, contingent on achieving aggressive EBITDAR-based objectives.
 
  •  Shareholder-aligned. Equity awards should represent a significant portion of total compensation. Senior executives already hold significant ownership in the Company. Consistent with the Company’s philosophy, equity should represent a significant ongoing portion of compensation for Executive Officers and other executives, and will serve as an important link between management and shareholder interests. Through the Company’s 2004 Plan, Executive Officers will receive a balance of stock options and performance-contingent restricted stock, targeted to deliver 75th percentile compensation levels if performance objectives are met.
      By focusing on the variable, performance-based elements of compensation, a large portion of total compensation for Executive Officers will vary directly based upon the Company’s financial performance.
Deductibility of Compensation in Excess of $1 Million
      The Committee’s general policy is that compensation should qualify to be tax deductible to the Company for federal income tax purposes. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 162(m)”),

25


Table of Contents

compensation paid to members of senior management in excess of $1 million per year is not deductible by the employer unless the compensation is “performance-based” as described in the regulations under Section 162(m). Compensation is generally “performance-based” if it is determined using pre-established objective formulas and criteria approved by shareholders. The Committee believes, however, that mathematical formulas cannot always anticipate and fairly address every situation that might arise. The Committee therefore retains the authority to adjust compensation in the case of unexpected, unusual or non-recurring events, even if this results in the payment of non-deductible compensation or to otherwise award or pay non-deductible compensation if the Committee deems it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so.
2005 Executive Officer Compensation
      In 2005, the total compensation package for Executive Officers reflects the philosophy and structure developed as a result of the compensation philosophy and strategy discussed above. This structure was incorporated into new employment agreements for Messrs. Adelson, Weidner, Stone, Goldstein, Henry and Serwin entered into in 2004 (2005 for Mr. Serwin). Following is a summary of each of the major elements of Executive Officer compensation, and details regarding how each component was determined:
  •  Base salary. Base salary levels for Executive Officers are determined based on the individual experience, responsibilities and tenure of each executive, and are assessed relative to market levels. In the gaming industry, market-competitive levels of base salary for certain executive positions exceed $1 million, and historically Messrs. Adelson, Weidner and Stone have earned base salaries in excess of this amount. However, consistent with our compensation philosophy, and in order to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation, beginning in 2005 we limited base salaries for Executive Officers to $1 million. A performance-based incentive opportunity is identified for those Executive Officers impacted by this limit.
 
  •  Short-term incentives. Executive Officers are eligible for annual, performance-based cash incentives under the Incentive Plan. Executives are eligible for two types of annual incentives:
  •  Base bonus — annual cash incentive earned and payable quarterly based on attainment of EBITDAR-based objectives. Payouts may range from $0 to a defined maximum opportunity specific to each executive. For example, during 2005 Mr. Adelson’s maximum base bonus opportunity was $500,000.
 
  •  Annual supplemental bonus — annual cash incentive contingent on achievement of pre-determined annual financial performance objectives (primarily EBITDAR-based). A target bonus opportunity is defined for each executive, representing the incentive to be earned upon achieving the targeted level of EBITDAR-based performance.
  Threshold and maximum bonus opportunities are 60% and 160% of target respectively, and payable at threshold and maximum levels of EBITDAR-based performance, respectively. For example, for 2005 Mr. Adelson’s target supplemental bonus was 80% of his base salary plus base bonus opportunity, or $1,200,000. He may earn up to $2,400,000 if maximum performance objectives are attained.
 
  Generally, the targeted supplemental bonus opportunities for Executive Officers are structured to deliver approximately 75th percentile total cash compensation (base salary plus incentives) upon achieving targeted EBITDAR-based performance.
  •  Long-term incentives (Equity Awards). Executive Officers are eligible for long-term, equity incentives under the Company’s 2004 Plan. A targeted total grant value (“incentive award”) is identified for each executive. Again, the award levels are structured to deliver approximately

26


Table of Contents

  75th percentile total compensation (base salary plus annual and long-term incentives) if targeted levels of financial performance are achieved.
The equity incentive awards are split into two equal components:
  •  Nonqualified stock options — one half of the incentive award value is granted in the form of stock options, with the number of shares determined based on an estimate of the grant date Black-Scholes value of the award. The value of the award for each executive officer is set forth in his employment agreement. The options granted to Executive Officers upon the Company’s IPO constituted this portion of their equity incentive award for 2005.
 
  •  Performance-based restricted stock — one half of the incentive award value will be granted as restricted stock early in the year following the year to which such grant relates, contingent upon attaining the targeted EBITDAR-based goals identified for the annual supplemental bonus plan. The value of the award for each executive officer is set forth in his employment agreement. The number of shares of restricted stock, if earned, are determined based on the Fair Market Value at grant, and restrictions will lapse ratably over the following 3 years.
  •  Special Supplemental Bonus. Due to an improper interpretation of their employment agreements, the Committee determined that the bonus payments made to the Executive Officers exceeded the bonuses earned by them under their respective employment agreements by the amounts set forth after their names as follows: Mr. Adelson ($876,697); Mr. Weidner ($712,316); Mr. Stone ($536,977): Mr. Goldstein ($458, 257); Mr. Henry ($219,174) and Mr. Serwin ($219,174). On March 1, 2006, the Committee met to consider what action should be taken with respect to the overpayments. A majority of the Committee concluded that the outstanding performance of the Company in 2005 justified payment to the executives of supplemental bonuses equal to the overpayments made to each of them in February. James L. Purcell, a member of the Committee and of its Performance Subcommittee, dissented.
      Executive Officer compensation packages in 2006 are expected to remain similar to the compensation packages of our Executive Officers in 2005.
2005 Chief Executive Officer Compensation
      Mr. Adelson’s compensation for 2005 was determined in accordance with the policies described above for the Executive Officers.
  •  Base salary. As indicated above, Mr. Adelson’s base salary was $1,000,000.
 
  •  Annual incentives.
  •  Base bonus — Mr. Adelson’s base bonus opportunity was $500,000, with the actual award earned contingent on EBITDAR-based performance throughout the year. The full award was earned during 2005.
 
  •  Supplemental bonus — Mr. Adelson’s target supplemental bonus opportunity was $1,200,000, with the actual award earned contingent on EBITDAR-based performance achieved for the year. The full amount of the target supplemental bonus opportunity was earned during 2005.
 
  •  Special Supplemental bonus — Mr. Adelson was awarded a special supplemental bonus in March 2006 with regard to 2005 performance in the amount of $876,697.
  •  Equity Awards.
  Mr. Adelson’s targeted total incentive award value for 2005 was $2,200,000. One half of this value was to have been granted in the form of stock options, having an estimated Black-Scholes value of $1,100,000, at the time the Company made its annual option grant to continuing employees (in 2006 this was in mid-January). And, because the Company’s 2005 EBITDAR-based performance targets were achieved, Mr. Adelson was also eligible to receive a further $1,100,000 in restricted stock in the

  first quarter of 2006. Mr. Adelson waived his right to receive the stock options and restricted stock to which he was entitled in the first quarter of 2006. Such waiver does not affect his right to receive stock options and restricted stock to which he is entitled in the future under his employment agreement.
      Mr. Adelson’s total compensation for 2005 was $3,576,697, which does not take into account the value of the options and restricted stock to which he was entitled but the receipt of which he waived.
      Mr. Adelson’s compensation package in 2006 is expected to remain similar to his compensation package in 2005 except that he will benefit from increases included in his employment agreement in the amounts of his base bonus and equity awards based on the Company’s increased EBITDAR. Assuming all 2006 target performance objectives are achieved, Mr. Adelson’s 2006 compensation would total approximately $6,200,000, including the value of equity awards to which he would be entitled at the time of grant.
Conclusion
      Attracting and retaining talented executives is critical to the Company’s long-term growth strategy, and essential to create long-term shareholder value. Offering a competitive, performance-based compensation program, with a significant equity component helps to achieve this objective by aligning the interests of the Company’s executives with those of its shareholders. We believe that the Company’s compensation program is structured to meet these objectives.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

For audit services (including audits of the Company’s employee benefit plan), the independent registered public accounting firm will provide the Audit Committee with an engagement letter each year prior to or contemporaneously with commencement of the audit services outlining the scope of the audit services proposed to be performed during the fiscal year. Generally a separate engagement letter is also provided for each statutory audit for our foreign subsidiaries. If the terms of the engagement letters are agreed to by the Audit Committee, the engagement letters will be formally accepted. For tax services, the independent registered public accounting firm will provide the Audit Committee with a separate scope of the tax services proposed to be performed during the fiscal year and may also provide separate tax engagement letters for special projects for our foreign subsidiaries. If the terms of the tax engagement letters are agreed to by the Audit Committee, the tax engagement letters will be formally accepted. All other non-audit services will require pre-approval from the Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis.
      If the pre-approval authority is delegated to a member, the pre-approval must be presented to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
Transactions with Interface Group Holding Company, Inc.
      Prior to our acquisition of Interface Group Holding Company, Inc. (“Interface Holding”), it was owned by Mr. Adelson, our principal stockholder. The following are transactions that our subsidiary, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. (currently known as Las Vegas Sands, LLC), had entered into with Interface Holding prior its acquisition by Las Vegas Sands, Inc. on July 29, 2004.
Redeemable Preferred Interest
      Until February 2005, our subsidiary Venetian Casino Resort, LLC had two members, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. and Interface Holding. Las Vegas Sands, Inc. was the managing member of Venetian Casino Resort, LLC and owned 100% of the common equity interest in Venetian Casino Resort, LLC. Las Vegas Sands, Inc. also owned 100% of Interface Holding. Until February 2005, Interface Holding held the redeemable preferred interest in Venetian Casino Resort, LLC. The redeemable preferred interest was non-voting, not subject to mandatory redemption or redemption at the option of the holder and had a preferred return of 12%. As of July 29, 2004, $133.5 million had accrued on the redeemable preferred interest and had not yet been paid. Las Vegas Sands, Inc. ceased accrual of the preferred return as of July 29, 2004 and retired the redeemable preferred interest following a merger of Interface Holding into Las Vegas Sands, Inc. in February 2005.
Cooperation Agreement
      Our business plan calls for each of The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino (“The Venetian”), The Congress Center, The Grand Canal Shops mall, The Sands Expo and Convention Center (“The Sands Expo Center”), The Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino (“The Palazzo”) and the Phase II mall to be integrally related parts of a single project. In order to establish terms for the integrated operation of these facilities, Las Vegas Sands, Inc., General Growth Properties, Interface Group-Nevada, the owner of The Sands Expo Center, and Las Vegas Sands, Inc.’s subsidiary, Lido Casino Resort, LLC, are parties to The Second Amended and Restated Reciprocal Easement, Use and Operating Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2004, which we refer to as the cooperation agreement. The cooperation agreement sets forth agreements among the parties regarding, among other things, encroachments, easements, operating standards, maintenance requirements, insurance requirements, casualty and condemnation, joint marketing, the construction of The Palazzo and the sharing of certain facilities and costs relating thereto. No payments were made among affiliates under the cooperation agreement in 2005.
Administrative Services Agreement
      Pursuant to an administrative services agreement among Las Vegas Sands, Inc., certain of its subsidiaries and Interface Operations, LLC, an entity that is controlled by our principal stockholder and unaffiliated with us (“Interface”), the parties have agreed to share ratably in the costs of, and under certain circumstances provide to one another, shared services, including legal services, accounting services, insurance administration, benefits administration, travel services and such other services as each party may request of the other. In addition, under this administrative services agreement, the parties have agreed to share ratably the costs of any shared office space. Prior to August 2004, Interface Holding and Interface Group-Nevada also were party to this agreement.
      As of November 8, 2004, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. assigned the interests of Interface Holding and Interface Group-Nevada in this administrative services agreement to Interface for no consideration. Prior to the Interface Holding acquisition, Interface Holding and Interface Group-Nevada provided or arranged certain services for Las Vegas Sands, Inc. and its subsidiaries under the administrative services agreement. The services were provided by certain other entities controlled by Mr. Adelson. After Interface Holding and Interface Group-Nevada were acquired by Las Vegas Sands, Inc. and became subsidiaries of Las Vegas Sands, Inc., it was determined that the agreement should be assigned to another company controlled by Mr. Adelson so that the Las Vegas Sands entities would have a direct claim against the entity providing the

32


Table of Contents

services rather than against a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands, Inc. The assignment did not change any of the terms of the administrative services agreement or what services are being provided.
      Prior to January 1, 2005, under this services agreement, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. used a Gulfstream III aircraft, which was operated by an affiliate of our principal stockholder. The aircraft was used for the benefit of executive officers, including our principal stockholder, and for customers. (See “— Transactions Relating to Aircraft — Time Sharing Agreement” below for a description of the new Time Sharing Agreement relating to this aircraft.) Charge-backs to Las Vegas Sands, Inc. in connection with this use were based on certain actual costs to operate the aircraft allocated in accordance with the purpose for which the aircraft is used. In 2005, total payments from Interface to Las Vegas Sands, LLC pursuant to this services agreement were $77,000.
      In addition, under the administrative services agreement, the Company and its subsidiaries paid approximately $3.0 million during 2005 to Interface Group Massachusetts, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company that operates GWV Travel, a travel agent and charter tour operator (“GWV”), for travel and travel related services. GWV is controlled by entities for which our director Irwin Chafetz is a director and a 12.5% shareholder and which are controlled by our principal stockholder, Mr. Adelson. Mr. Forman is also a trustee of a voting trust that owns 6.2% of the sole member of GWV Travel. The beneficiaries of that voting trust include the children of Mr. Chafetz. The payments included primarily the cost of airline tickets, which are paid by GWV to third party air carriers on behalf of the Company and its subsidiaries, and related travel agency commissions and service fees which are retained by GWV. Approximately $108,000 of the total paid by the Company and its subsidiaries was retained as fees and commissions in 2005.
Hotel Service Agreement
      Prior to its acquisition by Las Vegas Sands, Inc. in 2004, Interface Group-Nevada provided audio visual services, telecommunications, electrical, janitorial and other related services to group customers of The Venetian. These services were provided pursuant to a contract that provided for an equal sharing of revenues after direct operating expenses. Pursuant to this contract, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. received $2.8 million during 2005.
Preferred Reservation System Agreement
      Las Vegas Sands, Inc. entered into a preferred reservation system agreement with Interface Group-Nevada that governs the booking of exposition and trade shows in the meeting space in the Venezia Tower at The Venetian and in The Sands Expo Center. The agreement provides The Sands Expo Center with the first opportunity or right of first refusal to book or host expositions and trade shows prior to these expositions and trade shows being offered to the Venezia Tower. This agreement has not been utilized since the acquisition in August 2004.
Registration Rights Agreement and Registration Expenses
      Messrs. Adelson, Forman, Weidner, Stone, Goldstein and certain other stockholders and employees, former employees and certain trusts that they established have entered into a registration rights agreement with us relating to the shares of Common Stock they hold. Subject to several exceptions, including our right to defer a demand registration under certain circumstances, Mr. Adelson and the trusts he established may require that we register for public resale under the Securities Act all shares of Common Stock they request be registered at any time, subject to certain conditions. Mr. Adelson and the trusts may demand registrations so long as the securities being registered in each registration statement are reasonably expected to produce aggregate proceeds of $20 million or more. If we become eligible to register the sale of our securities on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, Mr. Adelson and the trusts have the right to require us to register the sale of the Common Stock held by them on Form S-3, subject to offering size and other restrictions.
      The other stockholders that are party to this agreement were granted piggyback registration rights on any registration for the account of Mr. Adelson or the trusts that he established, subject to cutbacks if the registration requested by the Adelson entities is in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and if

33


Table of Contents

the underwriters of the offering determine that the number of securities to be offered would jeopardize the success of the offering.
      In addition, the stockholders and employees that are party to this agreement and the trusts have been granted piggyback rights on any registration for our account or the account of another stockholder, subject to cutbacks if the underwriters in an underwritten offering determine that the number of securities offered in a piggyback registration would jeopardize the success of the offering.
      In connection with any registrations described above, we will indemnify the selling stockholders and pay all fees, costs and expenses, except that we will not pay underwriting discounts and commissions of the selling stockholders. On February 14, 2006, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for an underwritten secondary stock offering by certain trusts for the benefit of Mr. Adelson and his family. The offering was completed on March 16, 2006. We incurred approximately $1.25 million in fees, costs and expenses in connection with the secondary stock offering.
      On February 25, 2005, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 to, among other things, register the sale of shares of Common Stock held by Messrs. Weidner, Stone and Goldstein and certain other stockholders and employees, former employees and certain trusts that they established. In August 2005, Messrs. Stone and Goldstein (through a trust) and two employees sold shares of Common Stock under the registration statement. In September 2005, Messrs. Weidner and Stone and a former employee sold shares of Common Stock under the registration statement.. We incurred an aggregate of approximately $198,000 in fees, costs and expenses in connection with these sales. In addition, the Company and the selling stockholders agreed to indemnify the underwriters for these offerings against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Tax Indemnification
      In connection with our 2004 initial public offering, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. and certain other parties entered into an indemnification agreement pursuant to which it agreed to:
  •  indemnify those of our stockholders who were stockholders of Las Vegas Sands, Inc. prior to the 2004 initial public offering against certain tax liabilities incurred by these stockholders as a result of adjustments (pursuant to a determination by, or a settlement with, a taxing authority or court, or pursuant to the filing of an amended tax return) to the taxable income of Las Vegas Sands, Inc. with respect to taxable periods during which Las Vegas Sands, Inc. was a subchapter S corporation for income tax purposes; and
 
  •  indemnify Mr. Adelson against certain tax liabilities incurred by Mr. Adelson as a result of adjustments (pursuant to a determination by, or a settlement with, a taxing authority or court, or pursuant to the filing of an amended tax return) to the taxable income of Interface Holdings with respect to taxable periods during which Interface Holdings was a subchapter S corporation for income tax purposes.
Transactions Relating to Aircraft
Time Sharing Agreement
      On June 18, 2004, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. entered into an aircraft time sharing agreement with Interface, which is controlled by our principal stockholder. The agreement provides for our use on a time sharing basis of a Boeing Business Jet owned by an entity controlled by our principal stockholder. The agreement has a term ending on December 31, 2005, but was automatically extended by one year as neither party to the agreement has given notice of non-renewal. Either party may terminate the agreement on thirty days’ notice so long as the party is not in default of the agreement. In addition, the agreement automatically terminates upon the termination of the lease between the owner of the aircraft and Interface. For use of the aircraft, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. has agreed to pay Interface fees equal to (1) twice the cost of the fuel, oil and other additives used, (2) all fees, including fees for landing, parking, hangar, tie-down, handling, customs, use of airways and permission for overflight, (3) all expenses for catering and in-flight entertainment materials, (4) all expenses for flight planning and weather contract services, (5) all travel expenses for pilots, flight attendants and other

34


Table of Contents

flight support personnel, including food, lodging and ground transportation, and (6) all communications charges, including in-flight telephone, in each of clauses (1) through (6) above, only during use of the aircraft. In addition, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. will also be responsible for all passenger ground transportation and accommodation in connection with the use of the aircraft. Las Vegas Sands, Inc. was obligated to pay $665,450 to Interface in 2005.
Aviation and Related Personnel
      Interface Employee Leasing, LLC (“IEL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is engaged primarily in the business of providing aviation personnel, including pilots, aircraft mechanics and flight attendants, and administrative personnel, to the Company and to Interface. IEL was transferred in August 2004 by our principal stockholder to Las Vegas Sands, Inc. for no consideration and is now a wholly owned subsidiary. IEL charges a fee to each of the Company and Interface for their respective use of these personnel. The fees charged by IEL are based upon its actual costs of employing or retaining these personnel, which are then allocated between the Company and Interface. The method of allocating these costs varies depending upon the nature of the service provided. For example, pilot services are allocated based upon the actual time spent operating aircraft for the Company and for Interface, respectively. The services of IEL’s aircraft mechanics and administrative personnel are allocated based upon the number of aircraft maintained by the Company and Interface, respectively. During 2005, IEL charged Interface $1,212,576 for its use of IEL aviation and related personnel.
Gulfstream Agreements
      During 2005, the Company entered in to an Aircraft Interchange Agreement (the “Interchange Agreement”) and an Aircraft Time Sharing Agreement the “Time Sharing Agreement”) with Interface, which is controlled by the Company’s principal stockholder. The agreements were effective as of January 1, 2005.
      Under the terms of the Interface Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide the use of its two Gulfstream G-IV aircraft (the “G-IV Aircraft”) to Interface in exchange for equal flight time by the Company’s executive officers and customers on a Gulfstream III aircraft (the “G-III Aircraft”) provided by Interface. The G-III Aircraft is provided to the Company by Interface, and the G-IV Aircraft is provided to Interface by the Company on an “as-available” basis. At all times, the Company retains the crew for, and has operational control of, the G-IV Aircraft, and Interface retains the crew for, and has operational control of, the G-III Aircraft.
      There are no monetary charges for use of an aircraft under the Interchange Agreement; however, to the extent that one party incurs during any month a greater amount of “flight specific expenses” in providing its aircraft to the other party, the other party is obligated to pay the differential in costs within 30 days after its receipt of a statement from the party that incurred the costs. The “flight specific expenses” include ferry or positioning costs, all fees (including fees for landing, parking, hangar tie-down, handling, customs, use of airways and permission for overflights), expenses for flight planning and weather contract services, catering and in-flight entertainment expenses, and travel expenses for the pilots, flight attendants and other flight support personnel.
      Under the terms of the Time Sharing Agreement, the Company is entitled to the use, on a time sharing basis, of the G-III Aircraft provided by Interface. The Time Sharing Agreement is intended to be used by parties if and when the Company’s use of the G-III Aircraft exceeds the anticipated use by Interface of the Company’s G-IV Aircraft (in other words, there is not an equal exchange of flight time between the parties under the Interchange Agreement and the Company has further need for the G-III Aircraft). At all times, Interface Operations retains the crew for, and has operational control of, the G-III Aircraft.
      For its use of the G-III Aircraft under the Time Sharing Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Interface an amount equal to two times the cost of fuel and other lubricants used on the Company’s flights, plus specific flight-related expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s flights, including travel expenses of the crew, hangar and tie-down costs while the G-III Aircraft is away from Las Vegas, Nevada,

35


Table of Contents

landing fees, customs fees, in-flight catering, communications charges, passenger ground transportation, and flight planning and weather services. Las Vegas Sands, LLC paid Interface $42,071 in 2005 relating to the Time Sharing Agreement.
      Each agreement has an initial term ending on December 31, 2006, but is automatically extended by one year if neither party to the agreement has given notice of non-renewal. Either party may terminate each agreement on 30 days’ notice, so long as the party giving the notice is not in default of the agreement.
Purchase of Restaurant
      During 2003, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. purchased the lease interest and assets of Carnevale Coffee Bar LLC, which operates a coffee bar in The Venetian, for $3.1 million, of which $625,000 was payable during 2003 and $250,000 is payable annually over ten years, beginning in September 2003. Half of the purchase price is payable to a family trust of our principal stockholder that owned a 50% interest in Carnevale Coffee Bar LLC.
Stock Option and Other Loans
      In January 2002, our principal stockholder made loans to each of Messrs. Weidner, Stone and Goldstein to enable them to exercise options that they had been granted to purchase Common Stock from the principal stockholder. Each loan was evidenced by a full recourse demand promissory note with interest at the short term annual applicable federal rate (as defined in Section 7872 of the Internal Revenue Code) determined to be a market rate at the date of issuance consistent with the financial profile of the borrower, to be adjusted each January, and compounding annually. In 2005, this rate was 2.78%. Each note was a full recourse loan and was collateralized by a pledge of the Common Stock issued to each borrower. As of December 31, 2005, the loans to Messrs. Weidner, Stone and Goldstein had all been repaid in full.
Other Transactions with our Principal Stockholder and his Family
      Las Vegas Sands, Inc. has employed Dr. Miriam Adelson, our principal stockholder’s wife, as the Director of Community Involvement since August 1990 where, in conjunction with our Government Relations Department, she oversees and facilitates our partnership with key community groups and other charitable organizations. Her annual salary is $50,000 per year.
      During 2005, Las Vegas Sands, LLC employed one of our principal stockholder’s stepdaughters as a member of the Corporate Finance Group and paid her $49,000 in wages during 2005. Her employment ended as of January 1, 2006.
      Based on the advice of an independent security consultant, Las Vegas Sands, Inc. provides security coverage for our principal stockholder, his spouse and minor children. A portion of the cost of security coverage which the Company has determined was non-business related (approximately $451,000 in the aggregate in 2005) was charged directly to and paid by the principal stockholder.
      Las Vegas Sands, Inc. purchases amenities and other products used by hotel guests, such as robes, towels and slippers, from Deluxe Hotels Supply, LLC, an approved Venetian vendor. Deluxe Hotels Supply is owned by our principal stockholder’s brother, Leonard Adelson. Las Vegas Sands, Inc. purchased $1.8 million of products from Deluxe Hotels Supply during 2005. Management believes that the terms and conditions of the purchases are no less favorable than those negotiated with independent third parties.
      Our principal stockholder purchased banquet room, catering, lodging and other goods and services from our properties in the ordinary course during 2005, paying the Company approximately $1.0 million for these goods and services.
Transactions with our Management
      Mr. Weidner purchased lodging, food and beverage and other goods and services from our properties in the ordinary course during 2005, paying the Company approximately $53,000 for these goods and services.

Table of Contents

      Mr. Goldstein purchased lodging, food and beverage and other goods and services from our properties in the ordinary course during 2005, paying the Company approximately $77,000 for these goods and services.
Property and Casualty Insurance
      Prior to April 2005 the Company and entities controlled by the Company’s principal stockholder which are not subsidiaries of the Company (the “Stockholder Controlled Entities”) purchased property and casualty insurance (including aviation related coverages) together. The Stockholder Controlled Entities and the Company each were allocated their applicable share of the premiums and were separately invoiced for, and separately paid for, this insurance. Commencing with the April 2005 coverage renewals, the Company and the Stockholder Controlled Entities purchased separate insurance coverages, except that the respective groups continue to bid for aviation related coverages together, although they are separately invoiced for, and pay for, this insurance. The two groups allocate the aviation insurance costs not related to particular aircraft among themselves in accordance with the other allocations of aviation costs discussed above. During 2004, the Stockholder Controlled Entities were separately invoiced for, and separately paid for, insurance purchased by the Company on behalf of the Stockholder Controlled Entities in the amount of approximately $405,000. The allocation of premiums due for coverages placed on behalf of the Company and the Stockholder Controlled Entities, respectively, was determined with the assistance of an insurance consultant who arranged for the placement of the coverages.

APPENDIX A
LAS VEGAS SANDS CORP. AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER
I. Purpose
      The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (the “Company”) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to (a) the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company, including the integrity of the financial statements and other financial information provided by the Company to its stockholders, the public, any stock exchange and others, (b) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (c) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence, (d) the audit of the Company’s financial statements and (e) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors.
      Although the Audit Committee has the powers and responsibilities set forth in this Charter, the role of the Audit Committee is oversight. The members of the Audit Committee are not full-time employees of the Company and may or may not be accountants or auditors by profession or experts in the fields of accounting or auditing and, in any event, do not serve in such capacity. Consequently, it is not the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditors.
II. Organization
      The Audit Committee shall consist of three or more directors, each of whom shall satisfy the independence, financial literacy, experience and expertise requirements of Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and the New York Stock Exchange and any other regulatory requirements. If a member of the Audit Committee ceases to be independent in accordance with the above referenced independence requirements, for reasons outside the member’s reasonable control, that person, with notice by the Company to the New York Stock Exchange, may remain an Audit Committee member until the earlier of, the next annual shareholders meeting of the Company or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the member to be no longer independent. The Company’s board shall appoint at least one member of the Audit Committee who shall have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Company’s board determines in its business judgment.
      The members of the Audit Committee shall be appointed by the Board. Members of the Audit Committee may be removed at any time by action of the Board. The Audit Committee’s chairperson shall be designated by the Board or, if it does not do so, the members of the Audit Committee shall elect a chairperson by a vote of the majority of the full Audit Committee. No Audit Committee member shall serve on the audit committees of more than three public companies without the determination by the Board that such simultaneous service does not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Company’s Audit Committee.
III. Meetings
      The Audit Committee shall meet at least four times per year on a quarterly basis, or more frequently as circumstances require. As part of its job to foster open communication, the Audit Committee shall meet at least quarterly with management, the chief internal auditor and the independent auditors in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Audit Committee or each of these groups believe should be discussed privately. Meetings may be held telephonically to the extent permitted by the Company’s organizational documents and applicable Nevada law.

      2. Have the sole authority to review in advance, and grant any appropriate pre-approvals, of (a) all auditing services to be provided by the independent auditors and (b) all non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors as permitted by Section 10A of the Securities Exchange Act, and, in connection therewith, to approve all fees and other terms of engagement. The Audit Committee may delegate the authority to pre-approve audit and permitted non- audit services between meetings of the Audit Committee to a designated member of the Audit Committee, provided that the decisions made by such member are presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting for ratification. The Audit Committee shall also review and approve disclosures required to be included in Securities and Exchange Commission periodic reports filed under Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act with respect to audit and non-audit services.

      5. Confirm that the “lead partner,” the “concurring partner” and the other “audit partner” rotation requirements of Regulation S-X have been complied with. Consider whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, it is appropriate to adopt a policy of rotating the independent auditors on a regular basis.
