Built on the land of Bethlehem Steel, the Sands Casino Resort includes 10 restaurants, 4 bars, a premium outlet mall, and for those who are so inclined, table games and slots. From Oct. 13-15, the main conference will be held in the Sands Hotel and the adjacent Sands Event Center. The casino is on the opposite end of the complex from the hotel and conference spaces, and unless you seek it out, it is easy to forget that it is there.
