Las Vegas Sands mulling sale of Pennsylvania casino
Las Vegas Sands’ Pennsylvania casino property Sands Bethlehem is rumored to be changing ownership, just one week after some workers voted to unionize.
On Thursday, the Allentown Morning Call reported that Sands Bethlehem staff had received emails from the casino’s president, Mark Juliano, informing them that there is “a sole buyer interested in purchasing the property.” Juliano cautioned that the sale was “not imminent” and a lot of work remained before a sale might be concluded.
Sands corporate spokesman Ron Reese responded to the reports by saying only that the company “is regularly approached about potential interest in various assets” and the company had no further statement to make on the subject at present.
Sands Bethlehem employees have been down this road before. In 2014, Las Vegas Sands denied reports that the property was on the block, and the company subsequently announced a major upgrade to Sands Bethlehem’s facilities.
