The
Valley Forge Casino has been open a few
days now- and so far so good!
Opening
night was fun- with a stay in the Fantasy Room Atlantis at the Radisson (which
was wonderful- huge room, Jacuzzi, comfortable!), then over to the new casino.
Cake pops and T-shirts featuring the new casino were some nice giveaways as
patrons lined up to purchase membership cards and begin their night of
winning!
The
membership fee may be a bit off-putting to some, but as long as $10 is spent in
a restaurant or store, it grants you access. And this casino is not to be missed!
The
Center Bar had the drinks flowing, as well as the cocktail servers walking
around. My gentleman friend and I enjoyed a few drinks, sat in the lounge area and
took in the wildly colorful, crazy atmosphere.
Once
people were let in at 12:01am, they had a great time. The night was abuzz with ringing
bells, people clutching their winnings, and those happy to be dressed up and
out.
The
gaming tables and slots were full of people wanting to try their luck, having
drinks, and celebrating the latest entertainment happening in the Philly area
The
next morning a ribbon cutting ceremony officially celebrated the opening, and
the Valley Forge Casino Resort is now open for business!
