Pocono Casino Causes Excitement

The latest development in Pennsylvania—often touted as a “hotbed for slot machines”—is the Pocono hotel/casino/retail center. This Casino has been approved for five thousand slot machines in their “complex.” Now that their license is secured, Pocono can compete with the slot machine casinos in Philadelphia.

Pocono Manor plans to build a hotel with 750 rooms, and an impressive retail center that channels the idea of shopping at the Forum shops in Las Vegas. In addition to these two projects and the slot machine plans, Pocono Manor will include a state-of-the-art casino that will rival some of the best casinos in the country.

This new project is expected to cost a whopping one billion dollars—this is going to pay for the huge square footage and luscious interiors and the huge amount of slot machines. But as if the casino, hotel/resort and shopping wasn’t enough, the project includes development on an arena and convention center. It is anticipated that this will become the Las Vegas of the North east—and an alternative to the Mount Airy Lodge.
