Las Vegas Sands, which sold its Strip holdings a year ago and is now an Asia-centric company with casino resorts in Macau and Singapore, wants to get back into the U.S. gaming market.
The effort doesn’t involve Las Vegas.
In the past month, Las Vegas Sands has been linked to potential gaming development opportunities in the New York City area and Texas. The company is willing to spend billions of dollars in both locations to regain its American foothold.
Sands is among several Strip and regional gaming operators seeking one of three licenses that would place a multi-billion-dollar casino resort near the nation’s most populous city and within the largest metropolitan region in the U.S.
