Since Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho named Sisk COD Property President at the start of 2018, its reported VIP roll increased 23%, including 29% last year, while the overall market fell. Over those same two years, COD’s mass table drop grew 22%, though only by 10% last year, four percentage points below the market trend. COD’s 2019 non-gaming revenue for 2019 was up 32%, overall revenue rose 20% and EBITDA increased 22%. The 15 June 2018 opening of Morpheus has boosted COD, with more hotel reinforcements coming in what Melco terms phase three of the integrated resort’s evolution. Plans are on the drawing board to rebrand Countdown, the former Hard Rock, as Libertine, and renovation of Nüwa, the former Crown, has begun. The House of Dancing Water stage spectacle shut down for restaging is scheduled to reopen next year. In September last year, Sisk added oversight of all Melco Macau resorts to his portfolio. That includes Studio City, where Sisk served as Property President when he joined Melco in September 2016. Despite the pandemic revenue drought, work has continued on Studio City phase two, aiming to exploit its strategic position near the Lotus Bridge border gate from Hengqin Island, which will have a Macau light rail connection. But for now, CoD remains the key for Melco, accounting for 54% of revenue and 55% of EBITDA last year, and so, the key for Sisk. 新冠肺炎疫情來襲前 ，David Sisk似乎正確切地實現其主要目標，扭轉澳門新 濠天地表現，讓其成為澳門高端賭客首選目的地。自新濠博亞主席兼行政總裁 何猷龍於2018年初任命其為澳門新濠天地項目總裁後，該物業的貴賓廳轉碼 數上升了23%，包括去年上升29%，整個市場貴賓廳轉碼數同一時期則錄得 跌幅。 在這兩年間，澳門新濠天地中場轉碼數亦增長了22%，雖然去年只錄得 10%的升幅，較市場同期的升幅低四個百分點。新濠天地2019年非博彩收入 增長32%，整體收入增長20%，EBIDTDA則上升22%。 摩珀斯酒店於2018年6月15日開業，提升了新濠天地的吸引力，而未來 項目將有更多酒店品牌更替，新濠博亞形容此為項目第三期發展。計劃中包括 將迎尚酒店（前身為Hard Rock酒店）重塑為Libertine，而頤居酒店（前身為皇 冠度假酒店）的翻新工程亦已開展。水上匯演及表演「水舞間」亦暫停公演作調 整，預計明年重新公演。 去年9月，Sisk的職務擴展為管理新濠博亞在澳門的所有項目，包括新濠 影滙，他2016年9月加入新濠博亞時，曾為該項目總裁。雖然疫情影響收入，但 新濠影滙第二期工程仍在持續，利用好物業的優越位置，毗鄰橫琴口岸的蓮花 大橋，該處未來將設澳門輕軌接駁點。但目前而言，澳門新濠天地仍是新濠博 亞的重點項目，去年佔其收入54%及佔其EBITDA 55%，因此亦可說是Sisk的 重點項目。
