Sands quits Kansas plans
Casino company gives up on Edwardsville proposal
July 23, 2008
, Las Vegas Sands announced Tuesday night the company would no longer pursue a gaming license in the state of Kansas. The company had a $752 million casino proposal for Edwardsville, southeast of I-70 and 110th Street.
"Our proposed development plans for Kansas included significant investment in a world-class integrated resort facility," said William Weidner, president of Las Vegas Sands. "It now appears that proposed statutory changes in Missouri will allow gaming operators there to significantly increase the amounts being wagered at their competing facilities."

Point of View
The postal service is cutting back hours at some rural post offices. How often do you go to the post office?
“For my own personal use, I only go a couple times a year to mail gifts, usually around Christmas and family birthdays. At that time I usually buy a couple books of stamps that last for most of the year! For professional use, I go a couple times a month to check our PO Box.”
