...Those who attended the Sands opening enjoyed a similar vision. Inside the front door, showgirls in pink, sequined bikinis and multicolored feathers pranced and greeted visitors. Towering above the busy slot machines, a 33-m-wide video screen flashed fireworks and ocean sunsets. Waiters in traditional Chinese peasant hats scurried between the tables with free cups of tea.
