Las Vegas Sands is hiring for multiple technology roles in the Dallas area, including positions tied to casino management systems, as the casino operator and its majority owner, Miriam Adelson, continue efforts to legalize destination resort gaming in Texas.
The company, which operates casino resorts in Macau and Singapore, has posted several Dallas-based technical jobs in recent weeks. Some job descriptions reference work involving “the design and implementation of our casino management system (CMS) from inception to launch.” Casino gaming remains illegal in Texas and would require approval of a constitutional amendment by voters to become legal.
Ron Reese, senior vice president of global communications and corporate affairs at Las Vegas Sands, said the company established a Dallas-area office to support its technology operations and that no projects are currently underway in the city.
The office was created to “centralize our software development capabilities, strengthen operational efficiency, and innovate at scale,” Reese said in an emailed statement to Dallas local media.
Reese said the Dallas-Fort Worth area was chosen because of its technology workforce, infrastructure, and business climate.
“D-FW was selected for its strong concentration of skilled technology talent, robust infrastructure, and thriving innovation ecosystem supported by leading universities,” Reese said. “The region’s connectivity across North America, cost-effective operating environment, and business-friendly policies enable sustainable growth and efficient collaboration with partners.”
LinkedIn posts and employee profiles indicate Sands has had technical employees in the Dallas area since at least January 2025. A LinkedIn post from August 2024 advertised five open technical roles in the region.
The hiring activity comes as the Adelson family expands its footprint in North Texas following the $3.5 billion acquisition of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks in late 2023.
The family has signaled that the Mavericks could leave the American Airlines Center after the team’s lease expires in 2031. Dallas City Hall has emerged as a leading contender for a proposed 50-acre entertainment district that could include a new arena for the team. The Dallas City Council is considering whether to relocate City Hall, with a final decision expected in June.
At the same time, the Adelsons have intensified efforts to legalize destination casino resorts in Texas.
Miriam Adelson has donated more than $156 million to political causes since the Mavericks’ acquisition, largely benefiting Republican candidates and organizations. About $29 million has reportedly been spent on Texas political efforts tied to casino legalization.
The push has faced resistance from Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who has opposed expanded gambling measures. Governor Greg Abbott, however, has expressed openness to destination-style casino resorts and legalized sports betting.
Las Vegas Sands also purchased the former Texas Stadium site in Irving in 2023 and is seeking zoning changes that would permit development of a resort complex with space for a casino should Texas legalize gambling.
