Sands says discussions ‘ongoing’ as deadline approaches for someone to take over Long Island casino project — CDC Gaming

Las Vegas Sands executives have yet to finalize a deal with a new company to take over their proposal to build a casino-resort at the Nassau Coliseum site, even as they seek more land-use approvals and the deadline to apply for a state gaming license is approaching.

“These discussions are still ongoing and the company is hopeful that a deal can still be reached,” Daniel Baker, an attorney representing Sands, said Tuesday at a Town of Hempstead zoning board hearing. “However the company also recognizes that there is little time left before applications are due to the state on June 27 and it may not be possible.”
