Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia is now open but only for preview visits that need to be reserved first. The full opening is scheduled for February 11.
The new facility is situated 6 miles from the Brooklawn Shopping Center. The new Live! Casino & Hotel is worth $700 Million. It is located next to Stadium Holiday Inn, which was demolished for the purposes of the new facility.
Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia was developed by a private company held by Cordish, that also owns Xfinity Live complex.
The new facility is supposed to benefit the city by bringing $2 billion in economic stimulus, $100 million to Philadelphia tax revenues in the first 5 years and $25 million to the school district.

Vineland Daily Journal
PHILADELPHIA - The sounds of construction waged on Thursday as Joe Billhimer stood just inside the 10th Street entrance of Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia.
Through the doors, less than a block away, sat Citizens Bank Park home of the Philadelphia Phillies. This entrance will facilitate a lot of the fans, said Billhimer, an executive vice president with Live! Philadelphia s ownership group The Cordish Companies. Citizen Bank Park is right there, obviously the Linc (Lincoln Financial Field) is right behind it, and Wells Fargo Center right across the way.
