Whether the Nassau Coliseum will ever be home to a casino is very uncertain. Although developments seem to be on track to give the Las Vegas Sands Corp. a lease to operate the facility, that may prove to be mostly academic in developing a casino on the property.
The surrounding community seems divided at best over the idea of a casino. A lack of adamant local support might be sufficient to deprive Sands of a gaming license.
On July 22, the Nassau County Legislature Rules Committee voted to recommend two measures related to the operation of the Nassau Coliseum. Both votes were positive developments1 for Sands’ interest in the facility.
