But with long-time lieutenant Andrew MacDonald having retired in July, it seems Tanasijevich is as busy now as ever before. MacDonald had been working side by side with Paul Town in running the show at Marina Bay Sands. Following his departure, Town has stepped into the role of Chief Operating Officer and with one less man on the ground, Tanasijevich’s experience in Singapore appears to be that much more important as MBS maps its path out of COVID. Meanwhile, the 54-year-old’s role overseeing parent Las Vegas Sands’ global expansion efforts has only grown following the US$6.25 billion sale of the company’s Las Vegas assets earlier this year. LVS withdrew from Japan but has stated its intention to seek other opportunities in Asia, wherever those might be. Tanasijevich also has the not-so-small matter of MBS’s US$3.3 billion expansion on his plate. Expected to gain significant momentum over the coming year, the project will see a fourth tower added to the Singapore tourism icon with a 15,000-seat arena, new rooftop attractions and additional MICE and gaming space. 一年多前 ，George Tanasijevich卸去濱海灣金沙總裁兼首席執行官重任 而擔任董事總經理一職，希望可以自此更為關注區域發展機會，而非日 常營運。 但是隨著長期以來的副手Andrew MacDonald在7月退休，Tanasije- vich現在似乎和以前一樣的忙碌。 MacDonald一直與Paul Town並肩攜手成為濱海灣金沙的左右手。 前者離開後，Town在缺少了一個人的情況下擔任了首席營運官，此時 Tanasijevich的新加坡經驗更顯重要，因為濱海灣金沙正在規劃擺脫疫情 之路。 與此同時，在母公司拉斯維加斯金沙（LVS）集團今年較早時以62.5 億美元出售了公司位於拉斯維加斯的資產之後，現年54歲的Tanasijevich 在負責母公司在全球擴張方面的工作只增不減。儘管LVS集團退出了日 本，但其有意在亞洲尋找任何可能的機會。 Tanasijevich同時還面臨著一個不小的壓力，就是濱海灣金沙斥資33 億美元的擴建計劃。預計該項目將在未來一年取得重大進展。項目將為濱 海灣金沙這個新加坡的標誌性建築增加第四座酒店大樓，擁有一個容納 15,000人的綜藝館、新的屋頂泳池，以及額外的會展及博彩空間。
