'This is the 'Live' interpretation,' said the casino's marketing director Mario Maesano. But the casino restaurant is not intended as museum replica. Operated, Beler has said, as a 'joint venture' with the casino's developers, the Baltimore-based Cordish Cos., the new restaurant has been designed with respect for Prime Rib icons like leopard skin carpeting, black-leather booths and Icart prints. The Prime Rib at Maryland Live Casino opened, quietly, a few weeks ago, six months after the casino's grand opening and 10 months after the surprise announcement that Buzz Beler's storied Baltimore steakhouse was joining the casino's lineup.
