Rivers Casino Pittsburgh Tuesday announced the completion of a $6.6 million property refresh that includes the addition of the new Bridges Ballroom, an upgrade of the existing Rivers Ballroom, and additional amenities.
This renovation accounts for more than 50,000 total square feet of event space in the property’s inventory.
Rivers Casino opened in 2009 and celebrates its 15th anniversary in August.
“With the stadiums and other nearby attractions on the North Shore, not to mention our own full-service gaming floor, BetRivers Sportsbook, and The Landing Hotel, our events calendar fills up quickly,” said Rivers Casino General Manager Bud Green in a statement. “We’re happy to provide new spaces and more dates for hosting conferences, weddings and special events.”
The new Bridges Ballroom, a 7,044-square-foot space on the second floor, overlooks the Ohio River. It includes a balcony and panoramic views of the riverfront, Mount Washington, and the Fort Pitt and West End bridges.
Bridges Ballroom features comprehensive in-house event planning services. It can be sectioned into three smaller spaces that can be individually reserved: the 1,844-square-foot West End Room, the 1,164-square-foot Fort Duquesne Room, and the 4,036-square-foot Fort Pitt Room.
Four new private meeting rooms are part of the Bridges Ballroom launch, including the 1,140-square-foot Clemente Room, the 472-square-foot Warhol Room, the 470-square-foot Carson Room, and a 348-square-foot executive boardroom. These meeting rooms are available separately, combined, or as pre-function areas for Bridges Ballroom events.
The Rivers Ballroom, which opened in 2011, now features a 7,873-square-foot banquet space that has been refreshed and reappointed with new carpet and finishings. It comprises three spaces: the 2,764-square-foot Allegheny Room, the 2,533-square-foot Monongahela Room, and the 2,576-square-foot Ohio Room. They’re available separately or together and offer a dedicated pre-function area, balcony, and city and river views.
