Las Vegas Sands has one last “Hail Mary” effort still in the works in its effort to find a company that could take over a bid for a casino license at the Nassau Hub, one source with knowledge of the discussions told The Point Thursday.

Sands had been in talks with DraftKings about potentially taking on its bid, but that attempt has fallen through, multiple sources confirmed.

But while DraftKings wasn’t the only company with whom Sands was in talks, one source close to the project said the major question at this point is whether it’s too late to get any deal done.
