Casino operator Las Vegas Sands is closing some of its Macau hotels due to the coronavirus-related shutdown of all local casino operations.

On Thursday, Macau authorities announced that they’d granted permission to Las Vegas Sands’ Macau division Sands China to close three of its hotels in the Cotai region on Friday. The affected hotels are the Four Seasons Hotel Macao, the St Regis Macao and Conrad Macao Cotai Strip, which collectively offer 1,459 rooms, around 11% of Sands’ total Macau capacity.

Macau hotels weren’t subject to the government’s recent order to close all gambling venues for two weeks to limit further spread of the coronavirus, but the Las Vegas Review-Journal quoted Sands President Rob Goldstein telling Nevada gaming regulators that Macau hotel traffic was currently running at below 10% capacity, making their continued operations somewhat pointless.

Goldstein added that Sands’ shopping areas in Macau were equally deserted and the company had cancelled all in-house entertainment due to public fears over congregating in any enclosed space with other people.
