“It’s a great day in Westmoreland County to open up a venue like this,” Davanzo said. Eric Davanzo attended the unveiling and thanked the casino for being a “great neighbor.”
Sullivan said the casino is offering a promotion for weddings to kickstart the booking process.įollowing the closure of the Ramada by Wyndham Greensburg Hotel and Conference Center on Route 30 in January of 2021, Sullivan anticipates the site will add some of these employees to its 500-person staff. 6 and 7, the casino will host Legends in Concert, a celebrity musician impressionist show. The space also will be used for events hosted by Live! Casino. Sullivan anticipates the space will be used for weddings, holiday parties and corporate, social and fraternal organization events. Casino officials said there are no plans for further development at the site. The space is part of the existing casino site at the Westmoreland Mall. The $2.5 million venue is over 7,000 square feet with capacity for 350 seated guests or 650 in a cocktail-style layout.
“Last night, I came in here looking for John, our event guy, and he had just locked down a wedding for 2023,” Sullivan said. Sean Sullivan, general manager of the casino, said the Hempfield venue was used for a diversity coalition dinner, and parties already are booking the space. Although The Venue Live! was just unveiled at Live! Casino Pittsburgh Thursday morning, it has already hosted its first event.
