Rocky Gap Casino Resort, nestled in the Appalachian Mountains, offers award-winning restaurants, spaciously distanced outdoor activities, luxurious amenities, a high-energy casino and an abundance of meeting and event spaces, all set to the natural beauty of Rocky Gap State Park. Located about two hours from Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Pittsburgh with easy access from Exit 50 on I-68, Rocky Gap offers a picturesque retreat for an adventure-filled getaway, a corporate event or a family reunion.

Throughout much of the year, Rocky Gap Casino Resort is an outdoor playground, with a boathouse on the lake to rent pedal boats, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. Fishing is another popular activity, as is bird watching. Plus, there is plenty of adventure year-round at Rocky Gap’s award-winning casino, where there are thrills to be had playing slot machines as well as exciting table games.

Recently named one of Golfweek’s “Best Casino Courses” and Maryland’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, Rocky Gap Golf Course is a 7,000-yard, par 72, 18-hole course with five tee boxes at each hole to allow players to adjust according to their handicap.

Rocky Gap’s exceptional dining includes the resort’s new high-end restaurant, Lakeside Grille. Overlooking the lake, Lakeside Grille specializes in steaks, chops and fish and features a curated wine list—plus, its crowd-pleasing Maryland crab cakes. Other restaurants include Signatures Bar & Grill, which offers a clubhouse atmosphere; and Lobby Lounge + Café, a popular spot for pastries, coffee and sandwiches, as well as a full-service bar. On the Rocks, the resort’s biggest full-service bar, serves specialty cocktails and a wide selection of beers on tap.

With tens of thousands of square feet of meeting space, Rocky Gap is a popular destination for private events.
