The Las Vegas Sands has secured approval from the Nassau County legislature for a 99-year lease to develop a $4 billion casino and resort on the Nassau Veterans Coliseum property. The proposal passed with an 18-1 vote, similar to last year’s vote. Sands had to restart the approval process after a court nullified their 2023 lease due to improper public notification. While the lease grants Sands rights to the land for potentially 42 years, obtaining a casino license remains a major challenge. Despite some local opposition, labor leaders support the project for its potential to create high-paying jobs.
