In Asia, our efforts to transform Macao into Asia's premier business and leisure destination steadily march forward. The Venetian Macao, the anchor of the Cotai Strip(TM), continues to consistently deliver market-leading visitation to Macao from around the region and the world, while the natural maturation process of the property's operations is now beginning to be reflected in the property's operating results. As we make final preparations for the opening next month of the Cotai Strip's second world-class destination resort, the Four Seasons Macao, we remain focused on the fundamental goal and commitment we share with the people of Macao -- the transformation of Macao into Asia's premier business and leisure destination. We remain confident that the execution of our Cotai Strip development strategy will deliver significant economic benefits to Macao and the entire region, as well as industry-leading returns to our shareholders. In Las Vegas, despite a more challenging economic environment, the combined Venetian and Palazzo complex, the largest integrated destination resort in the world, began to mature and to realize some of the significant operating efficiencies resident in our original master plan. As the Venetian and Palazzo complex continues this maturation process, we believe it is uniquely positioned to deliver strong growth and industry-leading returns in the Las Vegas market for years to come."
