Stayed at the Sands for the first time. Wife and I were on our 20th anniversary vacation. (she has family nearby) We live in California and go to a number of casinos in Calif. and Vegas. The hotel was fine with the exception of having to put in your room key for the electricity to work! Also the water pressure in the shower was barely a tricle. I agree with the other posts that the slots are way too tight. Machine variety is good but the smoking side of the casino had the better ones....that's if you like to breathe. Don't know if I would go back though, funny thing is since I got back home they sent me offers for free play and free room. Time will tell
