Robert G. Goldstein
Senior Vice President
Las Vegas Sands Corp.
As president of The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino, Mr. Goldstein has a variety of responsibilities, the most important being the oversight of daily operations of the four cornerstones of the resort's success - its hotel, food and beverage, casino, and retail operations. Under his leadership, The Venetian has become internationally recognized as a leading destination resort, recently receiving top honors as one of the world's best resorts by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Since joining The Venetian in 1995, Mr. Goldstein has been instrumental in attracting premier retailers, restaurateurs, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, and the world-class Canyon Ranch SpaClub to the hotel. He also played a major role in the 2003 opening of the $275 million, 12-story, 1,013-suite Venezia hotel tower - Las Vegas' only hotel featuring a concierge level.
Under the day-to-day management of Mr. Goldstein, The Venetian has quickly soared to the top of the hotel world - a rise that included ending 2003 with arguably the single greatest revenue-producing year in hotel history, further validation of a unique business strategy which caters to the destination's special blend of tourist, gaming and business travelers.
Before joining The Venetian, Mr. Goldstein spent 15 years developing casino-hotels in both the United States and the Caribbean. In 1981, Mr. Goldstein joined the Sands in Atlantic City as director of casino marketing, earning a series of promotions and ultimately becoming vice president of marketing and executive vice president. He also served as executive vice president of Pratt Hotel Corporation before joining The Venetian in his current capacity.
Mr. Goldstein is a 1977 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and a 1980 graduate of the Temple University School of Law. Mr. Goldstein and his wife, Sheryl, have been married for more than 20 years and have two children, Scott and Courtney. |
