Chuck Darrow of the Philadelphia Inquirer offers a preview of the soon-to-open SugarHouse casino:
At 45,000-and-change square feet, SugarHouse is by far the region's smallest betting parlor. This is a function of casino officials' sensitivity to the surrounding Fishtown neighborhood, residents of which did not want a supersized facility. Its surprisingly low ceilings add to what SugarHouse General Manager Wendy Hamilton enthusiastically describes as her property's "intimacy."
What will the addition of 1,700 slots to Philadelphia mean to Atlantic City? It’s hard to see how it will be a positive. I can definitely see it causing a drop in bus trips.
All in all, it will be interesting to see how this shapes up.
