Resorts World Casino New York City
was opened on October 28, 2011. It is located in Jamaica, Queens and
is part of the Aqueduct Racetrack. It is the only casino located in
New York City. Genting America, the U.S. subsidiary of the
GentingGroup, a Malaysian company, won the bid in developing the
casino/racetrack costing $380 million. With its proximity to John F.
Kennedy International Airport Genting America had hoped to attract
tourists and visitors to New York City. However, most of the customer
base resides in New York City. Genting currently employs about 1,700
people and generates approximately $500 million a year in revenue for
New York State. The casino has 5,000 slots machines and electronic
table games including baccarat, Craps, and Roulette. The casino has
the largest slot gaming revenue in the United States.
The casino is open from 10am - 6am. There is a food court, a bar, a
club, a steakhouse, and gift shops for logo apparel, snacks, and
luxury accessories. Their largest venue features a 70,000 square feet
venue for trade shows, concerts, dance parties, galas, holiday
parties, and charity events for up to 3,000 guests with a parking lot.
In addition to the parking lot and subway access, there are free
shuttle buses from Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn to the casino.
