I have visited the Sands occasionally for the last thirty plus years. Now that Ricks is not an option, I thought I'd stop by the Sands. The interior is newer, which is nice. The waitress and bartenders are friendly. I like the two drink minimum instead of a cover charge. The VIP area is large and dark. Too bad the talent there is limited. It seems that if a lady knows you, there is the possibility of more rewarding time. No stage shows is a drag. I will go back simply because the Sands is more relaxing than Ricks. Perhaps once the ladies get know me, I will get more return on my investment.
