Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman on Thursday all but acknowledged that time has run out on a proposed casino project at the Nassau Coliseum, saying “we are going to pursue a different direction,” or what he called “Plan B.”
Asked if there is any chance a Nassau Coliseum-centered bid could be submitted by June 27, the deadline for developers to apply for one of three casino licenses in New York, Blakeman said: “I think it’s very, very unlikely.”
It’s the closest officials have come to saying the casino project first proposed by Las Vegas Sands in December 2022 is done.
Sands will still pursue a sports-entertainment-hospitality project at the coliseum site, Blakeman said.
