Make your Christmas Day Sparkle at The Star. Cucina Vivo celebrates the joy of sharing with friends and family, and offers the perfect location for your Christmas celebration. Inspired by the cliff-top restaurants of the Amalfi Coast, Cucina. However on Boxing Day (26th December), more is open and there is limited public transport. Some shops begin their end of year sales and more restaurants etc. Will be open again. Casinos will definetly be closed Christmas Day. The casino has a hotel as well (separate). I am fairly certain it would be open on Christmas day. I know they have entertainment starting at 8 PM on Christmas night. I do not know if there is a fee for that or, not.

It’s a project that has brought a lot of jobs to the area, but opening in the middle of a pandemic is no easy feat.
As soon as you walk through the door, there is hand sanitizer and then a device to scan your temperature, which shows up on a computer screen to make sure you are safe to enter the building.
Other safety measures include mask requirements, physical distancing, and repeated cleaning of high-traffic areas like slot machines and table games.

Watch as KDKA’s Chris Hoffman shows off one of the safety measures:
Signs have been placed around the casino to make sure people are aware of the safety protocols.
“I’m sure they have all their machines separated, so I know they’re doing their part and I’m going to do my part,” casino-goer Allen Griffin said.
“I like how they checked the temperature at the door. That was pretty nice coming in,” Kevin Bosco, another casino-goer, said.
Between the slot machines, there are barriers, as well as between the guests and dealers. According to management, the AC turns the air over 12 times an hour.
“We follow CDC guidelines. We follow Pennsylvania Gaming and Control Board Guidelines, and we follow the states guidelines,” General Manager Sean Sullivan said.
The casino features 750 slot machines and 30 table games.
The first floor is for people 21 and over, but the upstairs is for anyone.
