Cantor Gaming and Las Vegas Sands Corp. announced that they have signed a long-term agreement for Cantor Gaming to operate the Race & Sports Books at The Venetian and Palazzo. This agreement significantly expands the relationship between Cantor Gaming and these two iconic Strip destinations, which began in 2008 when Cantor Gaming was selected as the exclusive provider of mobile gaming and In-Running sports wagering at both resorts.
Under the new agreement, Cantor Gaming will operate the Race & Sports Books at The Venetian and Palazzo and provide a sophisticated and unique gaming experience with its unparalleled world-class technology platform. Additionally, Cantor Gaming has committed to investing in building out the sports book at The Venetian to enhance the sports trading environment.

Our vision is to create a transformational, sophisticated, state of the art sports book which we're confident will be a home run for The Venetian and its customers.'
'The signature cuisine and top-tier environment that Emeril Lagasse and The Palazzo have created at Lagasse's Stadium are the perfect complement to a new leap forward in sports technology.
