With a deadline for downstate casino applications fast approaching, two likely bidders are trying to clear legal hurdles before applying.
They could get help through state legislation that key lawmakers are advancing. They also could get help via the state budget, according to sources, which officials are trying to settle this month.
At least 11 entities have expressed a desire to bid for one of three available casino licenses. “Substantially” complete bids are supposed to be submitted to a state oversight board by June 27 — the next major milestone in what already has been a yearslong journey. Sands Las Vegas is one of the contenders, proposing a casino at the former Nassau Coliseum site.
