The casino giant Las Vegas Sands has launched a multimillion-dollar advertising blitz to build support for its campaign to bring casinos to Texas. Las Vegas Sands has also spent millions of dollars to hire dozens of lobbyists this legislative session, hoping to persuade a state legislature that has been hesitant to expand gambling options in previous years.

Jake Mammal and Oliver Cuttle discuss the ultimate plan to convert Midland-Odessa into a casino resort paradise. "Two Cities, no Limits."
