t’s been a long time coming but the all new, bigger, better SugarHouse is officially here! We’re thrilled to share our expansion highlights in this edition of RowHome and to give you a look at all that Philly’s casino has to offer. From the moment you arrive and park in our new seven-story covered parking garage, you’ll notice all the sparkling new amenities. Plenty of new restaurants, an upscale VIP lounge and extra elbowroom on the expanded gaming floor are just some of the things you’ll find. One new addition that can’t be missed is The Event Center, which already has hosted multiple sold-out shows, including LeAnn Rimes and Trevor Noah. The 30,000 square-foot, multi-function facility features a spacious floor plan with no columns, offering unobstructed sight lines. Guests can enjoy the floor-to-ceiling windows that display gorgeous views of the Delaware River waterfront and the Ben Franklin Bridge. This space is perfect for wedding receptions, galas and banquets, to name a few, and is available for bookings at www. eventsatsugarhouse.com. The Event Center’s customizable menu is provided by world-renowned Gibsons Restaurant Group, the venue’s exclusive caterer. (Gibsons is the only restaurant group in the country to have its own USDA Prime Angus beef certification!) Gibsons also runs the casino’s steakhouse, Hugo’s Frog Bar & Chop House. Hugo’s is the city’s newest high-end steakhouse and offers an array of unmistakably pleasing menu options. One specialty dish is the delicious, exclusive “Philly Cut,” a 12-ounce rib eye cap, topped with smoked provolone, crispy shallots and fried herbs. The restaurant also offers an extensive list of chops, fresh seafood and scrumptious desserts including (literally!) gigantic slices of carrot cake. The casino’s new restaurant offerings also include The Marketplace, which features Philly brands: Tacconelli’s Pizzeria, Geno’s Steaks, Saxbys Coffee (coming soon) and Revolution Grill, which is a brand-new local concept. Just like the City of Brotherly Love, the restaurants are real and authentic. Everything is prepared on site using fresh ingredients. That’s right, an authentic Geno’s cheesesteak, “wit or wit-out” onions, can be ordered in Fishtown just as easily as it is in South Philly. The terrific food and our great SugarHouse team are just some of the reasons why there’s a lot of Philly pride at the casino. I could go on and on about our expansion: the beautiful grand staircase and atrium, the gorgeous patios along the river walk, the country’s first Poker Night in America poker room and the colorful urban light mural on the casino’s Delaware Avenue façade just to name a few more highlights. But don’t take our word for it. Come see for yourself everything that the all new, bigger, better SugarHouse Casino has to offer. prh
