I went to the poker bar and unlike Harrah's in Atlantic City, you have to pay for drinks at the poker bar even when you are gambling there! At least in Atlantic City the poker bar gives you comp drinks! So you are stuck with the high bar bill and you are donating money to the poker machines. Even at the slot machines you have to wait for ever to get a comp drink from a cocktail waitress! Most of the other slots on the floor are pretty tight. I would guess that 99 out of 100 people donate to the SANDS and maybe 1 out of 100 goes home with a little extra $$. Although there are a lot of Asian customers there, they don't seem to be bothering anyone. But at the food court you can see them hanging out at the tables, I guess just waiting for their bus departure time. I am not very impressed with the Sands, even though I live close to Bethlehem, I would rather go to AC! 

This place is THE BIGGEST RIPOFF on the planet. There is NO WAY they pay back 89%, it's got to be below 75%, which is why they pay a fine every mon the to PA Gaming Commission, and they simply look the other way. How can you sustain ripping people off, something has to give. Hopefully MGM buys this place, gets rid of the bums loitering from NY, and ups the payout percentage. I will NEVER come back until something changes.

Sands PA. The lobsters were pretty ok, However, all the other aspects of the trip sucked major balls. 1) The $15 Chinatown Bus was major ghetto with homeless people fighting to ride and then selling the bonus cards. 2) Bus was old, had zero leg room, and smelled like unwashed bum piss. 3) Sands did nothing to try to match my CET Diamond card. 4) Buy in at $1000 and played $30-$200 per hand for over 2 hours and the host refused to give even the smallest food comp! Meanwhile CET always yielded at least a $25-$30 comp on the same play. 5) Casino floor beer selection was just bud or miller, pina colada tasted funny with shit tons of ice. Meanwhile CET has all kinds of free premium beer and great tasting cocktails. 6) The hotel elevators were located a mission hike distance from the casino floor. 7) On the return bus, the bus guy demanded a $5 tip per patron AND it still smelled like unwashed bum piss. I have to say: Sands PA will not be getting any more of my business.???
