Parx Casino in Bensalem last November opened the first part of its multi-phase expansion project.

SugarHouse Casino earlier this year officially opened its $164 million renovation and expansion.

The renovation comes at a time when casinos across the state and country continue to bolster their offerings and invest in major renovations with the hope of upping visitation and interest as more jurisdictions continue to add casinos, eating away at the gambling industry pie. The Casino Tower renovations would enable the casino to “better market the property as a full-amenity gaming resort destination,” Chief Marketing Officer Jennifer Galle said. The casino worked with Norristown, Pennsylvania-based design-build firm StyerGroup for the endeavor. All of the other guest rooms have been rebuilt, and the bathrooms will be built from the ground up as part of the renovation. There were no super suits prior to the renovation the space from two deluxe rooms and one standard room was combined to create each super suite. Renovations will include new carpeting, wall coverings, draperies, upgraded bathrooms and custom artwork. The entire tower is expected to be completely renovated by the end of March 2017.Īfter the renovation, the Casino Tower will have two so-called super suites, 40 suites and 116 standard rooms.

Three of the Casino Tower’s six floors have been completed to date. The latest round of investments is a $6 million complete renovation of the Casino Tower, which officials said would enhance guests’ overnight experiences, drive the casino’s growth and position the property to a wider audience. The King of Prussia-based property over the past year has been making significant investments - particularly in non-gaming amenities - including the upgrade of its event center last year’s debut of its $600,000 investment called Valley Beach Poolside Club and a Shore-inspired food truck and the revival of the Valley Forge Music Fair. The Valley Forge Casino Resort, to attract a wider audience amid growing competition, will give one of its towers a $6 million facelift - the first time it’s received an overhaul in more than a decade - that will add two new “super” guest rooms.
