Leigh Whitaker, a casino spokeswoman, said the ceremony would be attended by the lead investor, Chicago developer Neil Bluhm; Mayor Nutter; City Councilmen Frank DiCicco and Darrell L. Clarke; and the chairman of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, Gregory Fajt. "It's not open to the public," she said.
