Photo post: The Sands Casino Resort

For a few different reasons in the past week, I've had occasion to visit the Sands Casino Resort, which is not as exciting as it might sound since it's approximately a fifteen-minute drive from where I live.  This place used to be known as Bethlehem Steel, which was a steel manufacturing giant for over a century.  If you've seen the second Transformers movie, then you've actually seen part of it - they used the old steelworks in the opening parts of the movie.

A few years ago, they opened a casino in one of the old buildings, with plans for expansion into a full-fledged resort. They've been moving right along with that, and there's now a shopping center (the interior looks vaguely like the King of Prussia Mall) and a television studio (our local PBS station moved in there) and a hotel.  So my camera and I have been paying a few visits, along with my husband and friends, and I thought that I would share some pictures with you today.
