The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, operational since 1972, faces a challenging future after the Las Vegas Sands declined to pursue a casino at the site. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman expressed that while the decision is disappointing, it was anticipated given the impact of online gaming on brick-and-mortar establishments. He noted that there may still be potential for the site to host other developments, such as a luxury hotel or entertainment options, as interest from other gaming entities remains strong.
"I'm not really disappointed... We knew that there were things going on that were out of our control, such as the online gaming that now is so popular..."
"The Sands still has to develop the site with a luxury hotel, an entertainment center, housing and some other accoutrements to the area..."
