Las Vegas Sands is pleased to announce that the company today submitted a proposal to the Unified Government of Wyandotte County, Kansas outlining a vision of building a premier multi-use resort destination in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

With more than 50 million square feet of development underway worldwide, our company is uniquely qualified to take on the important challenge of expanding Wyandotte County's already burgeoning tourism infrastructure.

In addition to our financial and development capabilities, we pride ourselves on our commitment to being active community partners in each community in which we operate. It is our honor to submit this proposal and we look forward to working with state and locals officials, and all Kansans, to help make this dream a reality.
