Las Vegas Sands has entered into agreements to purchase the long-term lease of the site currently home to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The company is planning to develop a multibillion-dollar flagship hospitality, entertainment and casino project at the Coliseum.

The transactions, which still require certain approvals, would grant the company control of up to 80 acres in Nassau County.
