Sands Bethlehem, which is strategically located on the East of Pennsylvania, might soon be in the hands of a new owner. Compared to other resorts owned by Sheldon Adelson, Sands Bethlehem has given Sheldon the largest share of the total revenue from his gaming properties.

“Our property has scores of people, developers, who are ready to present their offers. Many developers who are interested with various assets of our facility come on a daily basis but we do not have the details to give for now,” said Reese.
Many people including employees are wondering why Adelson would wish to give away a property that brings in the most benefits.

Nonetheless, the move by lawmakers in Pennsylvania to quickly legalize online gambling might be the catalyst to Adelson’s decision. Otherwise, he would not have thought of such a thing.
According to confirmed sources, Adelson, a strong gambling proponent is behind a lobby group that has vowed to do whatever it takes as long as it is within the law, to stop any form of internet gambling in Pennsylvania. The coalition is dubbed Stop Internet Gambling.
