Live! Casino Salem to open its doors on 9 July
Live! Casino Salem is excited to announce that it will open to the public on 9 July 2025, at The Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem, New Hampshire.
Developers Sal Lupoli of Lupoli Companies and Joe Faro of Tuscan Village, have partnered with Baltimore-based Cordish Companies to bring the project to life. The phase one casino will feature a complement of new Historical Horse Racing games – a first for Salem, NH – along with a mixture of traditional table games and poker, quick service food offerings, and a full bar. Casino Salem’s opening will allow the phase one facility to begin generating jobs, tax revenue, and funding to qualified Charitable Organizations immediately.
“We are thrilled to open Casino Salem and bring an exciting new amenity to Salem,” said Joe Faro and Sal Lupoli, prominent developers and civic leaders in Southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts and co-owners of Casino Salem. “With this initial phase, we are able to drive economic stimulus to our local economy, create new jobs, and increase tourism immediately, setting the foundation to create lasting benefits for the community for decades.”
“By opening the casino in phases, we can expedite the addition of charitable gaming to the entertainment and tourism assets that Salem has to offer in addition to generating contributions to organizations in need,” said Jeff Favre, Executive VP of Casino Salem. “The Mall at Rockingham Park, along with Tuscan Village, already draw visitors from throughout New England, and the addition of Casino Salem will add another dynamic attraction.”
Ideally located at The Mall at Rockingham Park, adjacent to the iconic Tuscan Village, the property will be uniquely positioned to build on the positive synergies created by the three economic drivers. The project, at the former site of Lord & Taylor department store which has been mostly vacant since the end of 2020, will revitalize the space and become an impressive charitable casino and significant regional destination.
