The companies said the resort is planned for Virginia and is expected to open by the end of 2027. The project is being presented as a world-class facility with multiple uses under one roof.
According to the announcement, Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia is projected to generate $2.8 billion in economic stimulus for the region in its first 10 years of operation. The companies also said it is expected to create about 1,600 permanent jobs.
The source says the resort will include more than 20 amenities, though the excerpt does not list them all. The announcement frames the topping out as a construction milestone rather than an opening.
The information was released in a PRNewswire announcement from The Cordish Companies and Bruce Smith Enterprise on October 8, 2026.
