Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is gearing up to celebrate its 15th anniversary in August. To mark this milestone, the casino, owned by Rush Street Gaming, recently completed a $6.6 million renovation project. The focus of this investment was on enhancing the events spaces within the casino.
One of the major highlights of the renovation is the new Bridges Ballroom, a 7,044-square-foot venue located on the second floor of the casino with stunning views of the Ohio River. This indoor-outdoor space features a balcony and can be divided into three smaller rooms for more intimate events. In addition to the Bridges Ballroom, four private meeting rooms were also added to cater to the needs of executives and boards looking for versatile event spaces.
General Manager of Rivers Pittsburgh, Bud Green, expressed excitement about the new event spaces, citing the casino’s prime location near professional sports stadiums and other attractions as a major draw for hosting events. The Event Center, the largest space within the casino, also received a refurbishment to continue hosting popular concerts and shows.
In addition to the new event spaces, Rivers Casino Pittsburgh introduced amenities for its gambling patrons. The Black Card Room, a VIP lounge exclusively for Rush Rewards Players Club members who have achieved the highest tier, offers a luxurious retreat for high-tier players. Membership criteria for the Black Card program were also detailed, mentioning the various rewards and perks that come with achieving Black Card status.
Furthermore, Rivers Pittsburgh’s strong performance in the Pennsylvania casino industry was highlighted, with the casino maintaining over a 10% market share in 2023. With impressive gross gaming revenue figures from both slots and table games, Rivers Pittsburgh ranked among the top casinos in the state.
Overall, the recent renovations and additions at Rivers Casino Pittsburgh not only enhance the casino’s event capabilities but also elevate the overall gaming and entertainment experience for its patrons. As the casino prepares to celebrate its 15th anniversary, these new offerings are sure to attract both loyal customers and new visitors looking for a top-notch entertainment destination in the Pittsburgh area.
