It will replace Andrew’s Steak & Seafood restaurant, which is closing after Labor Day weekend.
River’s permanent sports book is scheduled to open by late September.Ĭelebrity chef Steve Martorano is planning to open Martorano’s Prime, an Italian steak house later this year, Keena said. Keena noted that Rivers recently opened Flipt, a burger restaurant, along with an events center and a temporary sports book on the casino’s main floor. The project will be privately funded by Rush Street Gaming and Walton Street Capital and produce 128 permanent new hotel and casino jobs and about 1,400 construction jobs, according to Bill Keena, the casino’s general manager. It is expected to be complete by early 2021. The seven-story building will feature 219 rooms, including 10 luxury terrace suites with private first-floor patios. Rivers is planning a $60 million, four-star hotel on the east side of the casino next to the Carnegie Science Center. Elected officials and dignitaries joined casino representatives Tuesday morning for a ceremonial ground breaking outside the casino.
