    7 levels of parking
    Julia D.

    Drove here from Virginia to catch The Used & Taking Back Sunday on tour. The place is gorgeously maintained and hard to miss-there is a huge converted bridge sign right over the resort. Our gps took us to the casino side and we easily found parking in the garage. We were then able to walk through the casino to the event center. Drinks were priced very reasonably and the one hotdog we did get was huge. Bathrooms were clean and security did a great job. Entering the venue went very smoothly. Once the show was over we made our way back to the casino.... Only to be blocked by security along with with all of the other fans. We are over 21 so we weren't too worried, until we heard that we may be charged to get into the casino.... wait, what? After hearing that, and adding to the fact that we were exhausted, we decided to walk around the building back to the garage (which wasn't a short walk, might I add) so for that, I only give them 3 stars. Otherwise, it's a beautiful place to enjoy your night. Newbies might benefit from parking in the lot adjacent to the ACTUAL event center rather than the big parking lot. We enjoyed our night!

    Boyz II Men concert, love it...

    Sound is great, drinks on point, organization that day was very good. Restrooms and the venue was very clean, I like it...

    Weezer at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in December; no zoom, view from front pit.

    I've been to several shows at Wind Creek Event Center over the years and it's honestly one of my…read morefavorite venues in the area. I've seen everything here from rock concerts to traveling shows like Cirque du Soleil, and they always bring in a solid lineup of events. It's about an hour and a half from my house, which makes it a really convenient spot for bigger shows without having to go all the way into a major city. The venue itself is well organized and the staff always do a good job keeping things running smoothly. I've always felt safe here, even when the crowd gets packed for sold out shows. Depending on the event, the setup can be seated or general admission, which keeps it flexible for different types of performances. Normally the acoustics are really good, although at the most recent show they were a little bit off compared to what I've experienced before. Ticket prices are pretty average overall not cheap, but not outrageous either for the artists they bring in. Overall, it's a great venue with a consistently good lineup, and I'll definitely keep coming back for shows here.

    If I could rate this place 0, I would. They treat people like convicts here, policing them the…read moreentire time! First they shovel you in after violating your privacy and yelling at the crowd like they're children! Then they pack everyone in like cattle. They obviously forgot about Covid, as the seats are tied together so you have to be on top of all the strangers around you. Then security nitpicks at EVERYTHING! Your toe touching the aisle is grounds for getting continuously harassed, then thrown out. But not just out of the venue, they throw you out to the Bethlehem police (this is the money scheme they got going). So first they rape you with ticket, food & drink prices, then they get you in trouble with the law, for absolutely no reason. They feed the piggies sandwiches while they await the arrests. The tall dork in headphones is the one who calls the shots. He signals to the other event staff who he wants to throw out that night. They don't care who you are, but they do seem to target a certain type. We witnessed this many times, but always thought they were doing something wrong. NOPE! They are just looking for their bread & butter, and greasing the palms of Bethlehem's law system. You will get a nice sized citation in the mail with no way to fight it. By the time this "experience" is over, you've probably wasted $1000 of your hard-earned cash. Wind Creek and the Event Center are protected under the Patriot Act, where they can assault you and toss you out without any questions. The Bethlehem Police do not care, nor will they ask you any questions, because they are in cahoots with each other! Save yourself the money and trouble, and go anywhere else. The State Theater, Sherman, and so many others actually value your patronage and will treat you with respect. Wind Creek Event Center needs to shut down; they should be sued for running their scam on paying customers.

    Archer Music Hall has quickly become one of my favorite small-to-mid-size concert venues in…read morePennsylvania. It's about an hour and fifteen from me, totally doable for a weeknight show, and honestly the combination of ticket prices, artist variety, and solid acoustics keeps pulling me back. Venue Atmosphere & Layout If you're into a club-style concert vibe, this place nails it. It's basically a big black rectangle of a room in the best waywith a wide open floor that gives you a clear line of sight from almost anywhere. There's also a slightly elevated second-tier area behind the main floor with its own bar and standing space. Great if you want a little more breathing room without sacrificing the view. Bars run almost the full length of the building on both sides, which makes grabbing a drink pretty convenient (I didn't grab any this time, so can't speak to pricing). Security & Entry Here's the one thing you must plan for: entry takes time. Both times I've been here, I missed the first song of the opening band even though I arrived around 6:20 for a 7 PM show. Security is thorough but slow-moving, so if you want to see the opener or get a good spot, show up earlier than you think. Sound Quality & Experience The sound inside Archer is surprisingly good for a venue of this size. I've seen: * Magnolia Park * From Ashes to New * Set It Off * Autumn Kings * Vana * Fame On Fire And every show felt tight, loud, and balanced not the usual muddy wall of noise you get at some club venues. Lighting and production are also way better than expected. Ticket Prices & Value Another huge win: tickets are cheap. Most shows I've gone to were around $50 with fees, which is practically a miracle these days. For the level of talent they bring in, the value is incredible. Extras * Coat check available * Bathrooms clean-ish (for a concert venue, that's basically a compliment) * General admission only -- which I personally love Overall Archer Music Hall is a fantastic GA concert venue with great acoustics, solid sightlines, friendly staff, and ticket prices that don't make your wallet cry. The only downside is the entry line, but that's fixable by showing up a little earlier. I'll absolutely keep coming back. Perfect for fans of rock, alt, metalcore, pop punk, and high-energy live shows who want an intimate venue without sacrificing production quality.

    Very excited to check out this new venue in Allentown. Appears they opened around March 2025…read more Great venue, great sound, great lighting. The show I went to had an attendance of about 800...mostly general admission and some people paid more than double to get a seat upstairs in the balcony. While it would've been nice to be able to sit, I found it nicer to be downstairs on the main floor to see the band. The floor is concrete and there is literally no where to sit. There's an area behind general admission where you can also pay a premium to have a seat and a small table. Cost varies but to put things into perspective, i paid $40 for my general admission ticket and it would have been an add'l $60 to upgrade. Bars and food: Anyone who was over 21 and planned to drink was ID'ed prior to entry and given a special wristband. There are bars on both the left side and the right side of the general admission area. Full bar. I had a Stateside seltzer for $8 and my friend had a refillable soda for $7. Note there's a combo of bottomless popcorn and bottomless soda for $12. Many people bought some sort of cocktail in a reusable cup and it had a flashing light in it ($22). As for the food/snacks, it was all prepared ahead of time and available in a warming drawer for the bartenders to give to those who order. They also had snack sized bags of chips. Note when you pay (cashless), the system defaults to a 20% tip...you can adjust. Security: everyone must pass thru metal detectors and security made each person with a hat take it off. While my bag wasn't searched, I heard most people's were. Note there is a bag policy. Parking: we easily parked on the street and used the parkmobile app to pay. Cost was about $2/hr and 2 hr limit on that main street that the music hall is on. Only had to pay until 9pm. While I was told by many that we'd be able to renew the parking after 2 hrs, the app wouldn't allow us. We got around that by using a different phone's parkmobile app. Some people paid $18 via ticketmaster and purchased parking ahead of time. That lot was somewhere behind the building. Wi Fi / service: my cell service was terrible in the venue. I was able to connect to the venue's wi fi and that worked well. Bathrooms: There's only one ladies room and one mens room for general admission and it's in the lobby. Plenty of stalls. The bathrooms were not kept up throughout the night. By later in the evening, some stalls were out of toilet paper, only some dispensers had paper towels and only some soap dispensers had soap. Restaurants in the area: there's a great quick Mexican restaurant directly across the street called Amigos. I got a steak bowl for $13. They have indoor seating (extremely casual) and outdoor seating. They are starting to sell alcoholic drinks and making their own tequila and vodka.
