New York State’s latest casino, The Resorts Hudson Valley, opened its doors to its very first customers this Wednesday.
The 60,000-square-foot concert hall is located in the Newburg Mall, 60 miles north of New York City.
At 10 a.m. EST, a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony featuring traditional Chinese lion dance performances was held, and more than a thousand people lined up to venture inside.
The casino will be Resort World’s third property in Empire State, located inside the mall and filling the space previously occupied by Bonton Department Store.
The company already owns and operates Resorts World New York City in Queens and Resorts World Cat Skill in Montecillo. Across these three locations, the holding company, Genting Group, has invested more than 1 billion pounds ($1.2 billion) in New York State.
As the city’s largest shopping mall has struggled over the past few years, many residents in Newburg are delighted with the development news. As well as the failed bonton store, the newberg mall was recently closed permanently by anchor store Sears.
The city of Newburg will receive £2.5m a year from Resort World, with Newburg residents promising to hire 250 full-time workers first.
According to developer and operating company Genting Group, the average annual salary, including salary and benefits, will be $72,000.
The casino will house 1,200 slot machines, 82 electronic table games and resort world bet sports bars. Newburg officials and residents expressed their joy at the introduction of a new entertainment venue that is certain to bring welcome revenue.
The new resort casino is expected to contribute £54 million a year in taxes allocated to support New York’s public education system. So far, Resort World Real Estate in Empire State has donated more than £3 billion to help public schools in New York.
