I get the idea of a steel mill motif. But c'mon black ceilings? Make it feel dark, dreary & cave-like. Give the customers a break & paint them white. Tables are ALWAYS crowded with dozens of closed tables. I guess Beth Sands doesn't want all the players who want to play to have access to games. I own LVS stock... More

I have been to Vegas, Atlantic City and just about every Casino in between and there is nothing great about this place. Drink service poor as was the attitude of work staff. More

This review is for the Sands Event Center at the Sands Casino where the concerts are. We were there for the Beach Boys concert on Thurs. This was our first time there and I believe only the 2nd concert at the venue. I think they've done pretty good. Parking is free in any of the Sands parking lots and there's... More

I lived outside AC until a year ago. This was our first trip to a PA casino. It was clean, well laid out with good selection of games. Staff was attentive and we enjoyed the selection of restaurants. More

Have been here on several occasions now. I enjoyed dinner at the Irish restaurant and also like the live bands that play on weekends. A nice place to go for drinks, dinner and some dancing. More

We had the Stay and Play package. The hotel was lovely,clean, with wonderful customer service. The casino was clean, spacious with plenty of new machines. The food choices were good. There is a food court, Emirl's Kitchen just fair,a deli which was good. An Irish Pub,(maybe next time) and an upscale Chop House. Included in the package was a great... More

Visited Sands last month - having dinner and staying over - then again this weekend. Both times - we had a blast. While it was incredibly crowded our first visit (a Sunday night) - we found the casino to have a nice mix of games, separate smoking/non-smoking sides and friendly staff. I had no luck but a friend we were... More

First I want to start by saying this place is just plain WEIRD. Everybody always looks they're up to something (from the casino to the hotel floor) as if their hiding a big secret. The hotel side: The people in front are just nasty, they think they're better than everybody meanwhile they work on their 10 dollars an hour job.... More
