A temporary casino preceding the $1.4 billion Live! Casino & Hotel Resort in Petersburg is expected to open in January 2026, employing 500 workers, according to the casino’s developer, The Cordish Cos.
The temporary facility is being built near the site of the permanent casino on a 100-acre site off Interstate 95 in Petersburg, near Wagner Road and Brasfield Parkway. It will include 75,000 square feet of gaming space, 900 slots, 33 live-action table games, a bar and a quick-service restaurant.
While the licensing process is still ongoing, casino spokesperson Renee Mutchnik said via email that the temporary site is on track to open at the beginning of the year.
