Regardless, the casino has been spending $50 million to develop and expand the said property since 2017.

This habit of changing construction plans was criticized by many.Ĭasino officials also confirmed that it plans to build a hotel on the site since 2010, and nothing has been built yet as of today. Instead, the casino went through a series of changing its construction plan, most notably a conference center, a clubhouse spa, a parking garage, a hotel and a golf course. However, Parx's initial plan was not to build a hotel. The news was confirmed after the casino was included as an applicant in the township Planning Commission's meeting last month. Pennsylvania-based Parx Casino is reportedly eyeing to open a 15-story hotel near the Parx East racetrack grandstand area in Bensalem.
