Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem Opens the Doors to The Shoppes at Sands on November 1


Bethlehem, PA (November 1, 2011) – Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, a Bethlehem, PA, casino and entertainment destination, today opened the doors to the public for preview days  of The Shoppes at Sands, a new luxury retail outlet center. Six retailers – Talbots, Nine West, DKNY, Lenox, Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store and Hartmann Luggage – welcomed patrons for the first time.

Later this month, additional retail stores, including Ultra Diamonds, Guess and Spritz Designer Fragrances, are also slated to open. By the official Grand Opening of The Shoppes at Sands in February 2012, additional national brand retailers – including Coach and Corning – will be available to shoppers.

“Sands Bethlehem is proud to continue its expansion by opening nine retail stores at The Shoppes at Sands this month,” said Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem President Robert DeSalvio. “With the timely opening of these stores just before the start of the holiday shopping season, we expect that the new outlet center will attract visitors from right here in Pennsylvania as well as New York and New Jersey.”

In addition to providing a boost to the local economy by attracting new visitors to the area, The Shoppes at Sands is also expected to create approximately 250 new jobs for area residents. 

The development of this luxury outlet center follows the latest expansion of the Sands Bethlehem resort, which includes the Sands Hotel, the largest full service hotel in the Lehigh Valley, and Emeril’s Italian Table, a new restaurant from world-renowned chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse, both of which opened earlier this year.

The Shoppes at Sands will be easily accessible to visitors of the Sands Bethlehem, as it is directly connected to the main casino floor as well as the adjoining Sands Hotel.

Situated on the former site of the historic Bethlehem Steel plant, the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem originally debuted in May 2009. The property currently offers the Sands Hotel, the largest full service hotel in the Lehigh Valley, over 3,000 state-of-the-art slot machines, 129 live table games, and a variety of premier entertainment and dining options. These include Emeril’s Chop House, Burgers And More By Emeril, Emeril’s Italian Table, Carnegie Deli, St. James Gate Irish Pub and Carvery, The Market Gourmet Express, Cobalt Buffet & Café and three bar/lounges, Coil, Molten and Infusion.
