Hollywood Casino St. Louis

Hollywood Casino St. Louis is a casino property in Maryland Heights, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. The venue operates under the Hollywood Casino brand and is focused on regulated gaming and casino entertainment for customers in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Its gaming floor covers approximately 120,000 square feet and includes about 2,180 slot machines and 91 table games, according to the referenced Wikipedia entry. The property was previously known as Harrah's St. Louis. In November 2012, Penn National Gaming acquired the casino from Caesars Entertainment for $610 million. Penn National Gaming subsequently became known as Penn Entertainment. The transaction connected the property to Penn's broader casino and gaming portfolio, while the real estate ownership structure is associated with Gaming and Leisure Properties. Penn Entertainment operates the casino, and Gaming and Leisure Properties owns the underlying real-estate interest. Hollywood Casino St. Louis is best understood as a physical casino property rather than a standalone consumer-goods brand. Its principal offering is on-site gaming, including electronic gaming machines and table games. The Hollywood Casino identity provides a common entertainment and gaming presentation across properties operated by Penn Entertainment, while the St. Louis designation identifies the local venue and market. The casino's geographic role is centered on Maryland Heights and the wider St. Louis region. As a Missouri casino, its operations are subject to the state's gaming regulatory framework. Available reference material identifies the property, its location, ownership and operating relationships, gaming capacity, and the 2012 acquisition, but does not provide sufficient verified information here about its opening date, founding personnel, current executives, revenue, financial performance, detailed amenities, or recent marketing campaigns.

Hollywood Casino St. Louis is located in Maryland Heights, Missouri, in the St. Louis metropolitan area. The property was originally associated with the Harrah's casino portfolio and was known as Harrah's St. Louis before changing to the Hollywood Casino identity. The available reference material does not establish the casino's original opening date or provide a complete chronology of its earlier development. A major ownership and portfolio change occurred in November 2012, when Penn National Gaming purchased the casino from Caesars Entertainment for $610 million. This acquisition brought the property into Penn National Gaming's operating portfolio. Penn National Gaming later adopted the name Penn Entertainment, under which the casino is operated. The real-estate ownership is associated with Gaming and Leisure Properties, separating the property-owning role from the casino-operating role. The venue functions as a regional gaming destination rather than a conventional hotel or retail brand. Its principal business is casino gaming, with a reported gaming area of approximately 120,000 square feet. The casino includes around 2,180 slot machines and 91 table games, giving it a substantial physical presence in the Missouri gaming market. These offerings place the property within Missouri's regulated casino sector and position it to serve both local customers and visitors to the St. Louis area. The Hollywood Casino name links the Maryland Heights venue to Penn Entertainment's wider casino-brand portfolio. The local name distinguishes the St. Louis-area property from other Hollywood Casino locations. Beyond its gaming floor, the supplied reference material does not provide enough verified information to describe specific restaurants, hotel facilities, entertainment programs, loyalty products, major renovations, financial results, or current leadership. Accordingly, those areas are left unspecified rather than inferred.
