Online sportsbook DraftKings won’t be taking over Las Vegas Sands’ proposed casino project in Nassau County, after talks failed to result in an agreement, two sources with knowledge of the discussions told Newsday.
“There is no deal between the companies nor will there be,” one of the sources said, requesting anonymity because of the sensitivity of the talks. “DraftKings will not be taking over the Sands bid.”
Companies seeking to bid for one of three available casino licenses in New York must submit bids by June 27, making for a fast-approaching deadline for anyone to take over the Nassau project.
Las Vegas Sands was expected to be one of the bidders, proposing a casino and megaresort development project at the Nassau Coliseum site.
