There will be no hotel bar, but the Riversuites will feature a basketball court, a billiards table, and “a large gathering space on the third floor that will eventually have a breakfast component,” according to Althaus.The hotel will have one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, including bi-level units that will be up to 2,266 square feet. Each unit will have a full kitchen.
As Fishtown and the neighborhoods around it have become increasingly popular dining and nightlife destinations, the demand for short-term rentals has soared. As the casino industry has spread across the country, operations like Rivers have tended to appeal more to locals than tourists, according toIn the 1990s, when gambling was largely banned, the handful of legal resorts like Las Vegas or Atlantic City pulled in over 80% of their clientele from out-of-state. Since then, the numbers have flipped, and over 80% of gamblers who visit the multiplicity of local casinos from Michigan to Maryland come from in-state.
