Two key New York state lawmakers suggested this week that they were open to the creation of Las Vegas-style casinos in and around New York City
a Chinese casino operator, and, in a departure from its typical hostility to organized labor, has signed a deal with the hotel workers union guaranteeing hotel and casino workers the right to organize at a future Sands casino. At the same time, MGM has held talks with representatives from Genting Group about trying to convince the state to shorten the downstate casino licensure timeline.
Part of the argument the casinos are mounting is that they could provide a lifeline to the struggling upstate facilities, while also helping plug the yawning gap in the state’s budget. “I think if the state has a $2 billion budget shortfall, they could close it pretty quickly if they were to look at the logic of speeding up the process,” said Jeff Gural, who operates the Tioga Downs Casino Resort in the Southern Tier.
“No other opportunity is currently on the horizon to provide the infusion of jobs or revenue New York would experience with a robust, competitive, and transparent process to expand gaming downstate,” they wrote. Maggie Moran, the Kivvit managing partner and former Cuomo campaign manager who now consults for Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands, is close friends with LaBarbera, according to a knowledgeable source. LaBarbera’s organization is also working on a project labor agreement with Las Vegas Sands, according to another knowledgeable source.
