Atlantic Casino City Nj Sands

The Sands Casino Hotel was a casino and hotel that operated from August 31, 1980 until November 11, 2006 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was formerly known as the Brighton Hotel & Casino . It consisted of a 21-story hotel tower with 532 rooms and a 5-story podium housing the 57,045 ft (17,387 m) casino and various other amenities. It was adjacent to Claridge Atlantic City and its parking garage was adjacent to the Madison Hotel.

At its peak, the Sands headlined top entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Cher, Robin Williams, Whitney Houston and Eddie Murphy. However, it was soon eclipsed by newer casinos and, at the time of its closing, had become the smallest of Atlantic City's 12 casinos. In 1998, the Sands filed for bankruptcy. Two years later Carl Icahn purchased a controlling interest. Icahn sold the property to Pinnacle Atlantic City in 2006.

The building was imploded at 9:37 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on October 18, 2007; the first-ever casino-hotel implosion on the East Coast. It was accompanied by a fireworks show and numerous parties along the boardwalk. This was the last casino in North America to bear the famous Sands moniker until the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem was opened in 2009. Coincidentally, it was demolished less than 24 hours after the death of the last surviving member of the Rat Pack, comedian Joey Bishop.
