Bernstein Liebhard LLP Announces Filing Deadline For Investors In Las Vegas Sands Corporation

Bernstein Liebhard LLP today announced that a class action has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of purchasers (the “Class”) of Las Vegas Sands Corporation (“Sands” or the “Company”)(NYSE: LVS) common stock during the period of August 1, 2007 and November 6, 2008, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Defendants are Sands and certain of its officers and executives.

The complaint charges Sands and certain of its officers and executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Sands and its subsidiaries own and operate resort and gaming properties in Las Vegas, Macao and Singapore.

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, defendants failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s true financial condition, business and prospects. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants failed to disclose that: (i) increasing competition in Macau was steadily eroding the Company’s foothold in the region, which undermined defendants’ representations that everything was proceeding according to plan; (ii) the Company was facing a significant liquidity crisis as a result of its ongoing expenditure of capital in Macau and Singapore, which forced the Company to divert funds from other operations to develop its Asian properties; (iii) the Company could not, in fact, weather the economic downturn, because the credit markets were drying up and Sands had failed to timely access those markets; and (iv) increasing visitor restrictions in Macau, which defendants represented would not impact the Company as significantly as its competitors (or otherwise publicly dismissed), were expected by defendants to have just as devastating an effect on Sands.

On November 6, 2008, the Company’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), expressed doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, prompting PwC to issue a going concern qualification which alerted shareholders to the true extent of the Company’s perilous condition. In response, Sands common stock fell nearly 33%.
