Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia

What Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia does

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia is a single-property integrated gaming, hospitality, and entertainment resort located at 900 Packer Avenue in South Philadelphia's Stadium District, owned and managed by Stadium Casino RE, LLC, an affiliate of The Cordish Companies (a privately-held, four-generation family-owned conglomerate with origins dating to 1910). The property opened in 2021 and offers over 2,000 slot machines and electronic table games, more than 140 live table games including a dedicated poker room, a FanDuel Sportsbook and Lounge, and over 200 luxury hotel rooms. The 15,500+ square-foot Live! Event Center supports concerts, comedy, and private events, while on-site F&B includes The Prime Rib steakhouse, Luk Fu Asian cuisine, Sports & Social Philly, the 10th Street Market food hall (featuring Geno's Steaks, Lorenzo and Sons Pizza, and Termini Bros. Bakery), Center Bar, and R Bar.

The property's revenue model is multi-stream: casino gaming, hotel accommodations, food and beverage, entertainment and events, sports betting via FanDuel, and online real-money casino gaming via PlayLive!. Customer engagement runs through the My Live! Rewards loyalty program (tiers Classic through Chairman's Club) and the My Live! Rewards mobile app (built on the Venuetize platform), which supports bookings, reservations, loyalty management, indoor navigation, mobile ordering, and the TRU Round Down charitable voucher-redemption program. Go-to-market combines physical destination marketing in the Stadium District with direct-to-consumer digital channels, including the PlayLive! online casino and a FanDuel online sportsbook partnership.

The business serves a diversified B2C base of gaming enthusiasts, hotel guests and travelers, entertainment seekers, corporate event planners, social event hosts, and dining customers, with tiered group pricing (e.g., Monday group rates starting at $109 for 100+ rooms and 2–5% master-bill rebates at $10K–$200K+ event spend) and direct booking via the corporate website, phone reservations (1-833-472-5483), and an event RFP system. The property employs 358 people and is part of a multi-state Live! brand portfolio that includes Maryland, Pittsburgh, Louisiana, and Virginia, with the Cordish parent brand reporting over 50 million annual visitors across its entertainment districts.
