In addition to 2,500 slot machines and 100 game tables, Allman and McKenna described large, luxurious hotel suites, a spa, restaurants, a 30,000-square foot nightclub, green space that includes a dog park, ice cream stand, skating rink and other features. The presentation included a new image of the waterfront portion of the project. McKenna said the $900 million Wynn Philadelphia casino would be “the largest private development in the history of Pennsylvania."Many CDAG questions were auto-related, concerning both how cars would move in and around the 60-acre site and the 20-acre, 2,250-car garage. Allman said that with the garage as it is, there is still a lot of green space – 22 acres. By comparison, she noted, Penn Treaty Park is 6.9 acres.
The project has been approved by the Fishtown Neighbors Association. The project still needs to receive a gaming license from the state and all though there are six other casino applicants, this is the most likely candidate to win the license.
