Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, a six‑time AAA Four Diamond‑rated property in Hanover, Maryland, announced the upcoming launch of Luma, a new cocktail lounge and social bar set to open in early November. The 5,626‑square‑foot venue will sit beside the Asian‑fusion restaurant Luk Fu on the casino floor, offering guests a fresh gathering spot for drinks, dining and gaming.
What Luma will offer
Luma is designed as a premium social lounge. It will serve a curated cocktail menu, shareable dishes, and feature a large LED screen for sports and entertainment viewing. Four high‑limit table games will be available, and the space includes lounge seating for relaxed conversation. Live music and other performances are planned throughout the week, creating a dynamic atmosphere that changes from early evening to late night.
Hours and special events
When it opens, Luma will operate Sundays through Thursdays from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Fridays from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m. The opening weekend will feature celebrity appearances and giveaways, with the exact launch date to be announced in the coming weeks.
