Las Vegas Sands Posts Jobs for Future Texas Casino

Las Vegas Sands Corp. has listed several Dallas casino-related job postings on the company’s website. The company listed mostly software-related jobs, including a senior product manager position to lead development of the casino management systems software “from the ground up.”

The company said it posted the jobs to attract top talent in the area. “(Dallas-Fort Worth) was selected for its strong concentration of skilled technology talent, robust infrastructure, and thriving innovation ecosystem supported by leading universities,” Sands spokesperson Ron Reese told local media.

The family behind Sands has considerable land holdings in the state. The company purchased the Dallas Mavericks in 2024, and Patrick Dumont now serves as the team’s governor. Last year, Sands attempted to include language for a potential casino in the Dallas suburb of Irving. The gambling aspect of the proposal was ultimately withdrawn by the company after considerable opposition from residents.

While there are no commercial casinos in Texas, there are two tribal properties. The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe operates the Kickapoo Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel in Eagle Pass, near the border with Mexico. The Tigua tribe of the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo operate the Speaking Rock Casino near El Paso. In September, the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe announced plans to build a similar casino in the town of Leggett, located about 90 miles northeast of Houston.
