HEMPFIELD, Pa. — Channel 11 got a tour of the exciting state-of-the-art elements at the new “Live! Casino Pittsburgh” coming to Hempfield Township.

The casino is located at the Westmoreland Mall, at the former Sears location.

Inside, it has more than 100,000 square feet of gaming, dining and entertainment.

Here’s the layout of the first floor: Live casino action with 750 slot machines and about 30 live-action table games.

Upstairs is filled with family fun and the ultimate sports fan experience. There will be a massive 45-foot video screen for sports games and sports betting.

Casino officials said the casino will bring more than $47 million in tax revenues annually for the region — a big boost to the local economy.

During Thursday’s tour, the casino addressed COVID-19 protocols, including limiting guests and following all state health and safety guidelines.

The casino event center, which will be used for parties and other events, will not yet be ready at the grand opening.
