Sands Bethlehem Casino Expands Offerings For Pennsylvania Residents

While Las Vegas Sands focused much of their attention on an Asian initial public offering this past week, there were also some new adventures taking place in the US. Sands Bethlehem Casino Resort opened new facilities aimed at pleasing Pennsylvania residents.

The casino opened two new restaurants, a nightclub, and 250 slot machines to the public for the first time this weekend, and so far the reviews have been great. The casino has expanded, and it has brought a festive atmosphere to Bethlehem over the weekend.

"I ate at the new Emeril restaurant and the food was phenomenal," said Mary Shriver, "I have been coming to the casino for several months, and it just seems like a more festive place to be now."

The restaurant that Shriver was referring to was the first burger restaurant from famous chef Emeril Lagasse. Burgers and More takes some of the best beef available and adds in Emeril's famous touch to create what some believe are the best burgers in the world.

The other restaurant that was opened this weekend was the Carnegie Deli. Made famous in New York, the Carnegie Deli provides Pennsylvanians with a taste of the Big Apple. The two restaurants join another Emeril establishment, the Chop House, on the Sands Bethlehem property.

Pennsylvania has been busy expanding their casino options for the past several years. Lawmakers are considering allowing table games at casinos in the state, and that would give the casinos the strength to compete with Atlantic City for the gambling dollars in the Northeast.
