That was roughly equivalent to 10% of her stake in the casino giant, and she remains the largest individual investor in the operator.

There is other, somewhat overlooked scuttlebutt that Sands could be in talks with an investment company about partnering on a new Las Vegas Strip integrated resort and an effort to bring an NBA team to Sin City. But that hasn\u2019t been confirmed as of yet. Should that plan come to fruition, it\u2019s possible the league would compel Dumont to leave the gaming company to avoid conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The more believable hearsay is that Sands and Cuban are angling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/sands-buys-texas-land-before-adelson-mavericks-acquisition\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to bring a casino hotel<\/a> to the Dallas area. Assuming such a venue is approved, it\u2019d be part of a broader entertainment complex that would include a new arena for the Mavs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In July, a limited liability company (LLC) with ties to Sands acquired 108 acres of land near Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas. That could eventually be the site of a Sands-operated gaming venue. That would require the Texas legislature amending the state constitution so voters can have a say on casino gaming. But that won\u2019t happen prior to 2025.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Comments_from_Cuban\"><\/span>More Comments from Cuban<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cuban told the <em>Associated Press<\/em> he doesn\u2019t care too much about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/texas-sports-betting-waiting-until-2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sports betting being legalized in Texas.<\/a> But he views the idea of a Venetian-esque casino hotel in Dallas as a potential game-changer in terms of luring more tourists to the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He added that he could have fetched a bigger price for the Mavericks.
