On Friday a judge put a temporary hold on a lower court’s ruling that blocked Las Vegas Sands’ 99-year lease of the Nassau Coliseum that is part of the plan to build a $4 billion casino resort. A hearing is set Nov. 21 on the county’s appeal of the ruling.

Hempstead officials said they have suspended their review of Sands’ proposal while the legal issues play out.
