Live Casino Pittsburgh is making its debut in the prom industry as Derry Area and Mt. Pleasant Area high schools plan to host their spring dances at the Hempfield venue.
Both proms, scheduled for separate dates, will be held in the casino’s Venue Live event space on the second floor. The Sports & Social restaurant and PBR Pittsburgh night club, also on the second floor, will be closed during the dances, according to administrators.
Students from both districts will be taken to and from the casino via bus, said Derry Secondary Head Principal Lisa Dubich and Mt. Pleasant High School Principal Robert Gumbita.
