<\/div>\n

Wishful thinking?<\/h2>\n

Las Vegas Sands might be wishing they\u2019d never bid around $4bn to convert the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island into a casino resort.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

locals aren\u2019t letting the matter rest<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite LVS recently pulling out of the race for one of three downstate New York casino licenses following a refreshed $7.6bn price tag for the Long Island project, locals aren\u2019t letting the matter rest.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post,<\/em> incensed Nassau residents lashed out at the Coliseum casino plan during a five-hour Hempstead Town Board meeting on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since LVS withdrew, the Coliseum development no longer has a casino developer behind it. That hasn\u2019t stopped Hempstead Town, who want the rezoning of the Uniondale land and is \u201cpressing forward, with Sands still on the lease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sands blowing in the wind<\/h2>\n

According to reports, over 200 people attended the Hempstead meeting, with the majority of the near 100 speakers trashing the casino proposal.<\/p>\n

The Post <\/em>stated that \u201cresident after resident urged the board to hit pause on the entire process \u2014 or kill the proposal altogether<\/a> \u2014 until a clear plan and developer are in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

While local lawmakers are hustling to get land-use approval on the 72-acre Uniondale site, LVS\u2019 exit vacuum could, according to Nassau locals, result in a totally unknown casino firm getting the jump on the casino.\u00a0<\/p>\n

LVS has until June 27 for another party to step in and end its pain over the Coliseum. An LVS attorney, however, told the hostile crowd that\u00a0\u201cdiscussions are still ongoing and the company is hopeful that a deal can still be reached.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

unlikely that a new developer will be selected\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LVS legal representative Daniel Baker admitted to the zoning board hearing that the June 27 deadline means it is \u201cunlikely that a new developer will be selected, or that the rezoning will be finalized in time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the meantime<\/h2>\n

Baker\u2019s contribution at the Hempstead meeting only seemed to throw more gasoline on the fire for the locals\u2019 long-abiding grudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Multiple residents given the floor at the meeting urged the Hempstead Town Board to freeze the Coliseum rezoning process or \u201ckill the proposal altogether\u201d until a transparent plan and developer enter the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ultimately, while some Nassau residents are open to the War Veterans site being redeveloped, they don\u2019t want a casino brand, particularly an unknown 11th-hour player, to surprise them.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Residents and critics of the casino plan have long criticized the proposed casino site as being close to local schools, concerned about a\u00a0potential increase in gambling addiction, crime, and traffic congestion.<\/p>\n
