(Phil Jenson) The Sands opened in 1965 as an eight unit motel with no gaming. They added 24 units in 1970 and added forty slots in a small casino on Arlington Ave that also had a Denny's restaurant. They eventually built 100 motel rooms needed for live gaming and added one 21 game in 1972 and a couple more later on. I remember playing playing there when they used the BC Wills chips. They built the large hotel and casino after that. The place is now called the J resort.
