“We are excited to announce the opening date of Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin. It has been several years since this project was originally announced, and we are thrilled that the casino will soon be a reality,” said Virginia McDowell, Isle of Capri’s president and chief executive officer. “We have designed and built a casino that will boost tourism, create jobs and contribute to state revenues while adding an exciting new amenity to this premier resort. We all look forward to welcoming guests on July 1.”
The casino, which will open at noon July 1, will feature 600 slot machines, 28 table games, a casual dining restaurant and a lounge, and will open 24 hours a day.
Isle of Capri is in the process of hiring the last of the 500 employees for the casino and the resort has hired about half of the 60 additional employees it needs to handle casino visitors.
“The addition of Lady Luck Casino gives our guests an important new amenity that allows us to attract new guests to Pennsylvania from all over the country and world.
