Sullivan County Casino Opening Hours

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced the grand opening of the Resorts World Casino in Thompson, New York. The $1.2 billion private investment resort features a 100,000-sf gaming floor, a luxury hotel and multiple dining, retail and entertainment options as part of a larger development project on the site. Resorts World projects the resort and casino to bring in four million visitors per year. Resorts World Casino is the fourth commercial casino to open in New York since voters approved the New York Casino Gambling Amendment in 2013. As of December 2017, the total gaming tax paid to the state was over $106 million.”For generations, the Catskills have served as a recreational and entertainment destination for people across the country,” said Governor Cuomo. “This new resort truly heralds the rebirth of the Catskills, and will serve as an economic driver…for people in the region.”

Governor Cuomo’s Upstate New York Gaming and Economic Development Act of 2013 mandated that all state revenue from Resorts World and the other commercial facilities be returned to localities. Ten percent of the state’s tax revenue from the casino will be split between the town of Thompson and Sullivan County for hosting the facility. Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Orange and Ulster counties will share 10 percent, and the remaining 80 percent of revenue will be distributed statewide to support public education and provide tax relief to New Yorkers.

Resorts World Expected Economic Impact
The 324-room Kartrite Hotel, Indoor Waterpark and spa opens in 2019. In addition, local governments — the town of Thompson, Sullivan County and local school districts and neighboring counties in the gaming region established by the state — will see a significant, positive, direct impact from Resorts World Casino through their share of the casino’s gaming tax payments to the state.

Casino Amenities
The casino’s gaming floor features 2,151 slot machines, 150 table games and a poker room. In addition, Resorts World Casino guests will also enjoy:

• 27,000 square-feet of multi-purpose meeting and entertainment space.
• Cellaio, an Italian restaurant, helmed by celebrity chef Scott Conant.
• The Doubletop Bar and Grill, Empire Lounge, and Bar 360, each a different experience for patrons.
• Asian fine dining at Lotus and casual Asian grab and go at Good Friends Market.
• The Kartrite Hotel and Indoor Waterpark, to open in early 2019, featuring an entertainment village with retail, restaurants and the renovated Monster golf course.

Resorts World Catskills was developed by Empire Resorts, a real estate development company that owns and manages several subsidiaries in the hospitality and gaming industries. The company was awarded a gaming facility license to own and operate the casino in 2015.

Resorts World Catskills is a hotel and casino located in Monticello, New York.^[2][3] It opened on February 8, 2018,^[4] and is owned and operated by Empire Resorts.^[5] It was built on the former site of the Concord Hotel.^[6] The property features 65,000 square feet (6,000 m²) of gaming space with 112 table games and over 2,150 slot machines,^[7] and an 18-story hotel tower with 332 suites.^[8]

The property was originally to be named Montreign Resort Casino but announced in April 2017 that it would instead license the Resorts World name from Genting Group, the majority owner of Empire Resorts.^[9][10]

In mid-2018, construction was begun on the Entertainment Village, a building next to the casino containing retail space, restaurants, and 105 hotel rooms.^[11] The project opened in December 2018 as The Alder at Resorts World Catskills.^[11][12]

In August 2019, an SEC filing indicated that Empire Resorts, the casino's parent company, was considering bankruptcy. During the period between the casino's February 2018 opening and June 2019, the company reported $211.5 million in losses. The Times Herald-Record asserted that the losses occurred 'due to gross gaming revenues that lagged 45 percent below company projections in year-one alone, in a Northeast market over-saturated with gambling options'.^[13]
