Two Objectives and Entertainment Technology BreakdownsĪccording to Starlite, the casino’s two primary objectives included creating a flexible space that could accommodate a wide range of acts, and using newer products whose features won’t become obsolete in the near future.Īlthough the Xcite Center is primarily a proscenium theater, it was imperative that the venue was multifaceted to accommodate a wide variety of acts and audiences. Some of those stakeholders were encouraged to attend trade shows and private emerging tech previews, which Starlite says helped them cement their decisions in certain products. Starlite design engineers collaborated with Parx stakeholders for more than 2 years on the design and schematic development of the project, which included numerous revisions along the way (including, for example, a decision to raise the roof an additional 18-feet AFTER it had already been constructed). When the casino first opened in 2009, it debuted with 140 zones of distributed sound and sound-masking over 1,500 speakers 93 amplifiers 90 equipment racks 67 PZM’s a JBL VerTec line array a Magenta Mondo III 4×96 switcher and Crestron Control - all installed by NJ-based Starlite. And who better to install such a project than the same integrator that installed the entertainment technology in the original building? Parx Casino’s Relationship with Starlite Indeed, Parx Casino also has the Xcite Center: a live entertainment venue which accommodates 2,000 standing attendees and boasts 26 chandeliers, a 65-foot-wide stage… and that’s not even touching the tech.Ī recent, spare-no-expense expansion project added two restaurants, an exclusive poker room, and, of course, the Xcite Center to the Parx Casino property. The 375,000 square feet of property it encompasses is packed with entertainment technology to match the modern expectation that a casino facility should have a lot more in it than dice, cards, and slot machines.

You could easily mistake Parx Casino for a miniature Las Vegas - if it wasn’t located in Pennsylvania.
