THE UNBELIEVABLE NEW EPIC BUFFET & THE HOLLYWOOD STUDIO STORE

PREMIER TO RAVE REVIEWS AT THE SANDS HOTEL & CASINO


Atlantic City, NJ --- The first major changes on the road to Hollywood are 
here as the Sands Hotel & Casino celebrates the multi-million dollar grand 
opening of two "must see" Atlantic City experiences, The Epic Buffet and the 
Hollywood Casino Studio Store.

The only word to portray the visual delights of the Epic Buffet is 
"stunning." A priceless array of rare memorabilia and costumes, the actual 
pieces which played key roles in movies such as "Cleopatra," "Spartacus," and 
"Ben Hur" just to name a few.

Guests will be awestruck by the 9-foot statue of the Goddess of Taweret from 
"Cleopatra"; the enormous eagle's head and chariot from the legendary film 
"Ben Hur"; the bronze bell from "Quo Vadis"; plus major props from "The Ten 
Commandments" and "Spartacus". Costumes also play a key role, including the 
glittering gown worn by Elizabeth Taylor in "Cleopatra".

Special effects play a key role in the overall Epic experience. Beautiful 
stone frescos of scenes from Epic movies hang high above the floor. To 
everyone's surprise, certain frescos are actually movie screens, which begin 
playing scenes from Epic movies. Each scene highlights a costume or piece of 
memorabilia which is residing in the buffet!

Bradley H. Stone, Sands President, led a contingent of executives from parent 
company Hollywood Casino Corporation on a worldwide tour for rare epic movie 
memorabilia. Prime on the list was a successfuk recruiting stop at the Cine 
Citta Studio in Rome, Italy. The opening of the Epic Buffet and the adjoining 
Hollywood Casino Studio Store mark the start of a monumental transition the 
Sands has undertaken toward redesigning and renaming the casino in line with 
its widely successful Hollywood parent company theme.

Presenting a "bigger than life" legendary entertainment experience, the Epic 
Buffet features an amazing array of foods of epic proportions. The food 
experience alone, at breakfast, lunch or dinner, would demand that the Epic 
Buffet would be the best restaurant of its kind.

The Epic Buffet offers a food product which features a quantity of selections 
and a quality which is unsurpassed in any buffet experience. There's not 
enough room to list the entire menu. Here's a sample of the many selections. 
The American station offers the very popular Rotisserie chicken, Roast Lamb 
and Jumbalaya, while the Italian station will make your mouth water with 
everything from Linguine withClam Sauce, Angel Hair Pomodori and Specialty 
Pizza. The Chinese Station has everything from Pepper Steak to Stir fried 
Vegetables and Clams with Black Bean Sauce, while a carving station at dinner 
offers Prime Rib of Beef. There's every salad possibility a garden could 
grow, including Caesar Salad plus a dersert station with every taste a mind 
could imagine.

One peek at the Epic Buffet and guests will see the future of casino gaming 
and entertainment in Atlantic City. The Hollywood theme in the buffet and the 
adjoining Hollywood Casino Studio Store are a taste of greater physical 
changes at the Sands in the near Future. These innovations are part of an 
overall plan to bring a completely themed, entertainment-oriented hotel and 
casino product to the Atlantic City Marketplace.

An equally exciting innovation is the Hollywood Casino Studio Store, located 
just steps away from the Epic Buffet. Agreements with over a dozen of 
Hollywood's top movie studios guarantees the presence of fascinating 
memorabilia and costumes from Hollywood's hottest movies. From Warner 
Brothers to Paramount, Turner Home Entertainment to MGM/UA and Walt Disney 
Home Video, the Hollywood Casino Studio Store will be the source for nonstop 
fun, great memorabilia and the latest videos and merchandise for sale.

The Hollywood Casino Studio Store opened with a wide variety of exciting 
memorabilia including a costume worn by Jim Carrey from the hit, "The Mask"; 
head pieces worn by Danny Devito in "Batman Returns"; the famous box of 
chocolates from the Academy Award-winning film "Forrest Gump", signed by 
Oscar-winner Tom Hanks and the talkboy radio from "Home Alone 2", signed by 
Macauley Culkin.

Visitors to Atlantic City should bring a camera and take pictures in the 
replica Ben Hur chariot, located in the Hollywood Casino Studio Store.

the self-park garage. As part of a garage improvement campaign, aimed at 
ensuring the safety of our guests, the Sands has begun installing 
approximately 600 new high pressure sodium, 150 watt lamps replacing the

elevator in the garage. The phones are connected directly to the hotel 
operators to better serve our guests in any emergency.

An additional entrance to the garage on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., with 
enhanced lighting and landscaping, provides easy access for our guests. The 
new entrance also allows pedestrian access from Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. 
to the garage.

This improvement project began with the replacement of new sidewalks, with a 
cobblestone, non-skid surface, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. and Indiana

property.

The new retail center features each major Hollywood Studio as a retail 
participant, including; MGM/UA, Turner Entertainment, Warner Brothers, Fox,
