what’sNEW The $164 million SugarHouse Casino
expansion is on pace for a 2015 year end opening. It brings the total con- struction cost of the facility to $559 mil- lion and increases its 108,000-square foot facility to approximately 260,000- square feet, not including a new parking garage that will be roughly 600,000- square feet. The primary intention for the expansion is to increase non-gaming amenities, including additional restau- rants and multipurpose event space.
The gaming floor will increase from approximately 50,000-square feet to roughly 85,000-square feet, allowing for 44 additional table games, 289 more slots and a 28-table poker room. On the first floor, new full-service restaurants will be added, along with a marketplace consisting of several diverse eateries. On the second floor, a 30,000-square foot multipurpose event space will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic
views of the riverfront and the Ben Franklin Bridge. If/when market demand warrants, the owners of SugarHouse also may contemplate the addition of a hotel, more gaming and other amenities.
As part of the expansion, the legendary steakhouse icon Gibsons Restaurant Group (GRG) will open Hugo’s Frog Bar and Chop House at SugarHouse Casino. The first of several “to be announced “new dining concepts on property, Hugo’s Frog Bar and Chop House is set to debut at year-end 2015. Gibsons is the only restaurant group in the country to have its own USDA Prime Angus beef certification, which Hugo’s will serve at SugarHouse.
“Attracting an exclusive, world-class restaurateur like Gibsons to SugarHouse is a great win for our casino and for Philadelphia,” said Wendy Hamilton, SugarHouse general manager. “The Gibsons brand is famous for its excep-
tional food and extraordinary service, and we are delighted that Hugo’s has leapt into Philly’s casino.”
The combined seating in the bar and dining rooms will accommodate more than 300 guests.
In addition, when the SugarHouse expansion opens at year end, Gibsons Restaurant Group serve as the exclusive caterer for the casino’s new multipur- pose event space, which is tailor made for corporate events, receptions and black-tie galas with free parking for attendees.
