I must reiterate what others are saying here. The bused in crowds from NYC are the filthiest, nasty and rude people I have ever seen at a casino, and I have been to many many casinos. They do loiter, stand behind you while you are playing and make noise. It gives you that uncomfortable feeling that someone is watching you.. and they are! I also agree that the better machines are in the smoking section. I have to say though that I've done well at this casino. I don't play as much as I used to, but I normally hit for a hundred or so each time I go. I have also come out with 3k or so twice in two years. My most recent trip, I left 560 to the good and only played about 120 and that was in the non-smoking section. I am not a fan of the Sands because of the busing issue. I prefer Hollywood Casino, but it is much further for me.
