| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | This following graph reflects (a) the relationship between our TSR and the TSR of our peer group over the last three years, including our TSR outperformance of the TSR of our peers over the last 12 months, during which the recovery of our business from the impacts of the COVID-19 re-opening Due to the annual RSU opportunity comprising 52% and 39% of the annual compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers, respectively, TSR is an appropriate metric against which to evaluate executive performance and compensation. We know from our regular and extensive discussions with key stockholders that this measurement is the one most frequently proposed by investors, for whom the vast majority are themselves measured by the absolute and relative TSR of the companies in which they invest, thereby providing strong alignment of executive leadership incentives. Our TSR materially improved relative to peers during 2022, reflecting important progress in a number of areas including the recovery of our Singapore operations, the successful positioning and investment in anticipation of a recovery in Macao and the successful award of a new ten-year gaming concession in Macao. * Represents Mr. Adelson as PEO for 2020, Mr. Adelson and Mr. Goldstein as PEOs for 2021 (using the sum of the compensation actually paid to both of them for 2021), and Mr. Goldstein as PEO for 2022. | ||
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block] | The following graph illustrates the relationship between the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers and our net income (loss) and consolidated adjusted property EBITDA in 2020, 2021 and 2022. It demonstrates that our consolidated adjusted property EBITDA stabilized in 2022, despite worsening operating conditions in our Macao business, and that net losses reduced year-on-year We believe the increase in the compensation actually paid to our named executive officers in 2022 is justified as a result of successfully executing a significant recovery in our Singapore business and preparing our Macao business for imminent recovery. We also continue to execute our capital expenditure programs in Asia and completed the sale of our Las Vegas operations and assets to increase our liquidity. While the majority of these actions are not yet evident in consolidated adjusted property EBITDA or net income (loss), they are of considerable significance to our future growth. * Represents Mr. Adelson as PEO for 2020, Mr. Adelson and Mr. Goldstein as PEOs for 2021 (using the sum of the compensation actually paid to both of them for 2021), and Mr. Goldstein as PEO for 2022. † In 2022, the Company had a net loss from continuing operations of $1.54 billion, which excludes the net income from the Las Vegas operations as that is disclosed as a discontinued operation.

| Tabular List [Table Text Block] | — MOST IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE MEASURES The following table lists the most important performance measures (“PM”) that we use to link executive compensation actually paid for our named executive officers during the year ended December 31, 2022 to the Company’s performance: PERFORMANCE MEASURE WHY MEASURE IS CONSIDERED IMPORTANT Consolidated Adjusted Property EBITDA (1) This metric highlights our profitability, our effectiveness at cost control and the success of our capital allocation decisions as they relate to our mix of business and the resulting operating cash generation. We believe consolidated adjusted property EBITDA is the most relevant metric by which to measure market share in each of our key jurisdictions and is the single most important financial metric by which we measure the effectiveness of our named executive officers. Liquidity Maintaining a strong balance sheet and the availability of funds to fulfill our growth and capital investment ambitions is key to our short- and long-term growth. ESG ESG leadership is important to the Company and we also recognize the importance of ESG to all of our stakeholders, including stockholders. As such, we believe it is appropriate to ensure we continue to improve our ESG performance by tying elements of named executive officers compensation to measurable ESG goals.
