The Las Vegas Sands has launched a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign on radio and TV to promote its aim of opening a casino in Texas.
Actually the campaign pushes four casinos: Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.
The TV ads state that billions of tourism and gambling dollars leave Texas each year for neighboring states.
The campaign is clearly aimed at casino gambling/gaming in Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma.
The initiative is titled the Texas Destination Resort Alliance.
The alliance wants the Legislature to allow Texans to vote to build four world-class destination resorts and casinos when it meets in November.
The alliance promises unprecedented investment in Texas communities, a jumpstart to the economy by creating tens of thousands of jobs and funding for vital services like schools and public safety.
