I live in Allentown and have frequented the Sands in Bethlehem since the day that they opened their doors. Many years ago, I was a very frequent visitor to the Sands in AC. The Sands in Bethlehem is comparatively new and I believe they are making great strides to see that the Sands is one of the best Casinos in PA. I am specially pleased with Emril's eating spots - both the dining and hamburger place - in both aeas, the wait staff is superior and the food is excellent. I must admit I can not say the same for the Deli; the wait staff is now knowledgeable nor is the food first rate. The roving floor hosts are pleasant and more than willing to assist each player. The guards on duty are neat but should be more aware of greeting the patrons as they enter the casino instead of staning in groups and carrying on conversations with each other. I am so pleased with the Sands that I limit myself to going there to gamble -- no more AC or up in the PA mountains for me - The Sands suits me to a "T".

I like the high ceilings and good air filtration... you don't have to breathe in second-hand smoke. When in the non-smoking section, you don't even get a whiff of cigarettes... a definite plus. In older casinos, there's no getting away from the smoke. I also like the fact that it's not overly decorated, another plus away from older garish casinos. There's plenty of food choices to make and if you just want a quick bite without waiting, there's the open food court... Great idea.

I also prefer the short drive to the Sands... only 45 minutes as opposed to over 2 hours to AC. The employees at the Sands are very courteous, friendly and respectful. My only complaint is the music is TOO LOUD... it's enough to drive me out of there before I want to leave. It's so unnecessary and annoying to have that music playing at those blasting levels!!!!

The one thing that I do miss from AC is progressive poker games... I wish the Sands would add them to the casino. Other than that, I do enjoy Sands but sans the din (without the racket).

I was at the casino for the 1st time and i was pleasantly surprised how nice it was inside. The machines were good, not that i won alot on them but i played quite a while on my money. I did win one of the hourly raffles they give. It was a $500 gift certificate to Lowes. I was in total shock since i have NEVER won a raffle at any casino.

The employees there are very pleasant and the food court was also very nice. You have a varity of foods to eat and the prices are not bad at all. I was thrilled to have Nathan's there.... The casino itself smelled very nice i was skeptic from one review i read on here prior to going. I was Shocked i didnt smell the smoking section at all and i was playing in it and it was NOT that bad at all.. YES i would go back again that's for sure

You can not get lost in this place. Machines were up to date, very clean, fun to play, and I left with more than I brought with me. I play at alot of casinos in Pa. Del. WV. NJ. and Vegas and do not by far win all the time. Having a good time and being treated well makes my trip worthwhile. I definitely will return. This is a new casino and those working there are proud of this addition in their community. Nothing is 100 percent but I'm sure it will even get better with time. To the naysayers, if you constantly lose don't blame others for your misfortune, get a 4 leaf clover and start all over again.
