That would be sad indeed!
I rather enjoyed my stay there - have done up a review of the property. It's probably got more photos than optimal, but if anyone wants a more in-depth recent look at the property (stayed there around Christmas last year)...
A Very Asian Conrad Christmas: Conrad Macao Review - The MileLion
TLDR version: Very blingy (as opposed to classy), enjoyed it nonetheless. Didn't like restaurant breakfast (though the variety was pretty impressive); would recommend the lounge instead, if you have access.

For those who are interested, I stayed at the property last week and asked them about this. I was told that the Conrad is safe for the next 2 years at least; it is the Holiday Inn which will be rebranded as the "Londoner" hotel in the near future. This is not dissimilar to how the Hard Rock Hotel opposite was rebranded as the "Countdown" hotel a few years after opening. Use the international brands in the initial phase then take over with local management after the lock-in period is over.

On a side note, I thought the evening appetizers selection went down a bit. Dim sum at breakfast is always top notch. They told me all dim sum is made in house which I hope was always the case.

The two things I really don't like about this hotel are the swimming pools (they are really poor compared to the Galaxy resort hotels) and the lack of Conrad restaurant for breakfast (obvs not an issue for Diamonds).
Best hotel on the strip for me is Banyan Tree - incredible rooms, amazing pool, great restaurants.

I stay here quite a bit from HK - DIamond treatment is usually pretty good - I normally get a Premier Suite upgrade, but not always. The exec lounge is really really good and the service is excellent. The views of the Parisian/the Strip from rooms are great too.

How does Conrad compare to Grand Hyatt? Hyatt is much cheaper on the same dates for basic room. In Conrad I would expect upgrade as Gold and in Hyatt I would book the room I want, as I don't have status there. What I'm interested is: views, grand bathroom possibly with the view, good breakfast/lounge, swimming pool. I will be staying for 2 days and alone, so size of the room doesn't matter but from what I noticed all of them are big anyway.

I can't comment on views from Hyatt - but I think it will have great views as it's in City of Dreams - so v near Conrad. CoD has some incred restaurants too, so you won't have to walk very far - the Tasting Rooms is really suberb and well worth a reservation for lunch - great value.
