Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, built on the site of the former Bethlehem Steel Corporation here, opened its doors.
The resort includes 3,000 slot machines, a signature restaurant from Emeril Lagasse, an Irish pub and a lounge that features live entertainment seven days a week. An additional 2,000 slot machines will open in late November.
Developers also plan to build a 300-room hotel, 200,000 square feet of shopping space and nearly 50,000 square feet of event space.
