Pocono Manor Resort&Casino

An Unbeatable Place To Meet!

The functional characteristics of the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino extend beyond the considerable gaming and entertainment possibilities the project presents. Like other successfully branded resort properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey and Las Vegas, Nevada, this remarkably adaptable facility will capture a substantial portion of the ever-expanding business conventions market. With a ballroom and conference center totally approximately 120,000 sq. ft. the project will indeed boast more of such space than all but nine of the casino-hotels in all of Las Vegas (and nearly equal the space of the fabled Bellagio). While the Pocono region is currently not ranked among the top 100 convention/conference destinations, the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino’s planned facilities have the potential to present formidable competition with New York City and Atlantic City in this market sector, thereby placing the region “on the map” as a major convention entity.

The project’s meeting/convention capabilities avail the Pocono region of up to 286,288 adults attending events at the resort annually, spending up to 398 million non-gaming dollars among local businesses! Using its own resources and working together with the Pocono Mountains Vacation Bureau, the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino can be effectively marketed as a convention center through strong promotions and branding campaigns targeting meeting planners in a multitude of northeastern states. Revenues generated from the conventions could be reinvested into developing and maintaining state-of-the-art transportation systems—such as shuttle services—as intra-resort mobility conveniences for convention attendees.

Marketed properly and in a relatively short time frame, the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino has the potential to equal or eclipse the brand recognition of existing convention destinations now operating in New York and New Jersey.
