Review of Sands Regency Casino

Don't stay at The Sands!

Don't stay at The Sands!
At the entrance was a homeless guy loitering. Upon entering I was taken back in time to a 70's sleaze bar. We had to walk through the dirty smoke filled gaming tables in order to check in. At check in there was a homeless couple trying to get a room. I noticed the clientele was drastically different from that of Circus Circus. I did not feel safe at the Sands like I did at Circus Circus.

We requested a non smoking room, located on a non smoking floor. I couldn't wait to get to it and take a shower to get the smoke off of my skin and out of my hair. I literally smelled like a smoker.
Our room was nice sized but very dated. There were rips in the wallpaper, mold stains along the tub, and the dressers had pieces of the laminate coming off. The fire sprinkler had tape or wet toilet paper wrapped around it.
There were no washcloths just towels. An old hair dryer and no in room coffee. If you wanted that you had to go downstairs.

We checked in at dinner and were so hungry. The restaurants looked very dated, and although were "nonsmoking" were on the casino floor. We got a pizza and stayed in our room.
All was well until 11pm when someone started smoking and it came into our room (We were on a non smoking floor). We couldn't wait till morning so we could leave.
We got out of dodge bright and early, never looked back.

If I have to stay in a casino again it will be Circus Circus. The Sands was dirty, uninviting, and drew the kind of people you see in alleyways.
