Want to get away? But not too far? Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in South Philly is an ideal location for an overnight staycation. Dining ranging from fast-casual, grab and go, and date night vibes, as well as a casino floor, nightlife, bars and entertainment are all under one roof. During the holidays, look for festive decor and a seasonal pop up experience at The Prime Rib. Book now to relax during the busy holiday season.
The hotel has an access point prior to entering the casino floor (which is 21+), so Live! is also ideal for a family visit to one of the stadiums for a game or concert. They’re all within walking distance. And the spacious rooms and suites have amazing views.
This suite included a separate sleeping area and two large televisions. Before you end the night, be sure to grab a slice of pizza from Lorenzo’s or a treat from Termini Bros. to enjoy while your watching a show or movie.
After check-in, we headed to Luk Fu for a nice dinner ahead of a concert in the upstairs event center. Happy hour takes place from 4pm to 7pm too.
Unique cocktail options include the Beijing Bellini and the Ginger-Matcha Gimlet. They pair perfectly with some shared appetizers like Ahi Tuna and Cheesesteak Spring Rolls. You’ll also find a large menu of rice platters, entrees, noodles, and sushi.
Chef specialty entrees- Chinese Sausage & Crab Meat Fried Rice,
Seared Lamp Chops in Black Pepper Sauce
After dinner, the event center is a great place to catch live music and have a few drinks. Last weekend, we saw U2station – An Authentic Tribute to U2. The band, from Las Vegas, performs live versions of U2’s complete catalog. If you’re planning a trip to Live! soon, check out these upcoming shows:
- December 10, Soultown to Motown Holiday Show featuring the Sensational Soul Cruisers
- December 29, Billy Nation – A Tribute to Billy Joel
- January 19, Craig Ferguson
- February 9, Kelsey Cook
Before heading back to your hotel room, grab another bite to eat, play some games on the casino floor, or even listen to more live music. But now through January 2nd, you can visit the holiday pop-up bar at The Prime Rib! You’ll be transported to a vintage après ski chalet with a fun ski lift photo ops and themed cocktails! Open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 4:30PM – 10PM. *Photos courtesy of Live! Philadelphia.
For breakfast, The Prime Rib is also a great option with a standard menu of morning favorites- eggs, home fries, breakfast meats, parfaits, and pastries.
