Sands Bethlehem
 

Hey everyone...I visited the new Sands in Bethlehem, PA for the first time on Saturday. Long lines to sign up for MySands but it moved quickly. The staff was pretty clueless about the program and the girl was confused when I asked for a brochure (website is also missing details).

In any case, I'm wondering if anyone knows the coin-in to point ratio. I know its 75 points to get to the higher level card, which doesn't offer much by way of benefits. No one I asked knew what I was talking about. I asked a host in the high-limit area and he just told me "there are several ways" and "don't worry about what level you are".

Overall, I thought the slot selection was okay, though no Jackpot Party or Monopoly. The staff was rather unfriendly and confused.

I haven't been so sorry, but I'm curious - do they have a poker room, or is it slots only? The website is unclear.

FTR, this is the bus schedule from New York's Port Authority - faster than getting to Atlantic City, and I presume the buses are nicer than Greyhound -

Only $20, too, through July 5, 2009, with a $20 bonus of slot play. :) What's not to like?

No poker room from what I could see. I think PA law allows only slots.

For NOW! Although LOTS of talk about allowing it....give Fast Eddie (Gov. Rendell) a few more months!!! :D


I can say that my whole family has been there. (I have not). No one has cared for the food at any venue (especially Emeril's). My mom has been getting $25 free slot play DAILY!!! The coupons seem to be flowing.


Nice and easy to get to from NYC/Northern NJ. Nice area of town...secluded.

I went a few weeks ago...mainly 'casue I was in NYC and my in-laws live in Bethlehem, it was okay...all slots, no gaming tables...restaurants looked nice, but I really don't see how the Lehigh Valley can sustain the business

Now has tables games, huge poker area, more restaurants. You can get some free slot play offers in email with a MySands card.
