During Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson’s annual sit-down interview with the Dallas Regional Chamber of Commerce, the sale of the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson from the Las Vegas Sands came up. The mayor said those pushing for casino gaming in the city need to be talking to the city council and not just the state legislature.
The Adelson and Dumont families have spent millions already trying to bring casino gaming to Texas. They join Cuban’s efforts to bring a resort-style casino to North Texas. The mayor told a crowd if the location is in Dallas the city council will also have to be consulted.
