Irving Texas Casino Proposal

The Las Vegas Sands proposal for Irving includes resort components, an economic impact, a legal challenge and public opposition.

Features
The Las Vegas Sands' Irving proposal includes a hotel, convention center, retail space, residential units, potentially a casino, and perhaps a sports arena.

Economic Impact
The economic benefits are estimated to be $25 million in annual tax revenues for the city of Irving and $40 million for schools.

Legal Challenge
The first legal hurdle facing the casino is in the Texas legislature. Casinos are illegal in Texas except on Native American reservations. The state legislature must pass a bill for a constitutional amendment to allow casinos. After signing by the governor, the Texas voters would decide on a ballot measure whether to change the constitution to allow casinos.

Opposition
Irving residents are divided over the casino issue. Some support the economic benefits, while other oppose the potential negative impacts on the society, such as crime and traffic congestion.

March 21, 2025

The city council approved the Sands proposal for a destination resort on March 17. The proposal did not include a casino. Instead, the proposal was limited to a hotel with 1,750 rooms, restaurants, retail stores, a concert theater with 4,000 seats, and a sports arena with 15,000 seats. Sands withdrew the casino component from their plan due to strong citizen opposition and a decision to wait for a more opportune time in the casino controversy.
