The developers of the massive Live! Casino planned in Petersburg are set to give the region its first taste of what’s to come from the $1.4 billion project.
Baltimore-based Cordish Cos. and Virginia Beach’s Bruce Smith Enterprise next month will open a 75,000-square-foot temporary casino building as a first step toward the full casino resort taking shape at 301 Wagner Road.
The temporary casino, which completed construction in recent weeks, is a large tent structure with roughly 900 slot machines and 30 table games, a bar and a quick-service restaurant.
That compares with the larger, permanent facility that will be built on the same 100-acre property and will span more than 450,000 square feet of gaming with 1,600 slot machines and table areas including a 22-table poker room.
