In May, 2016, Macau Legend Development Ltd, a Hong Kong-listed company, revealed that it had come to an agreement with the Laos government to take over the Savan Vegas Hotel and Entertainment complex.

The company announced that despatching the circular would take place on or before 31st of July, 2016.

Macau Legend, under the deal, is going to get a 50-year monopoly in the Khammouane, Bolikhamsa and Savannakhet provinces. In return, the company would have to pay a price of $42 million or around HK$326 million. The operator, additionally, would receive green light to operate the gaming tables of the property alongside the semi-automated gaming tables and EGMs.

The news about the deal between the Laos government and Macau legend was revealed in a press release that stated the agreement could be extended for additional 49 years if all terms were met in the initial period of 50 years.
