Long Island group urges Nassau County to abandon casino plan after Sands exit
The Say No to the Casino Civic Association urged Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to end the county’s casino proposal after Las Vegas Sands withdrew its bid for a New York casino licence. Sands said it may transfer its Long Island plan to a third party; the county has not named potential replacements, and the association said it opposes continuing the effort.
Any replacement for Sands would affect the prospects for a casino project at Nassau Coliseum and the county’s licensing bid.
