Point Place Casino Hotel in New York completes expansion
The Oneida Indian Nation has celebrated the opening of the $50m renovation.
US.- The Oneida Indian Nation has celebrated the opening of the expanded Point Place Casino Hotel in New York marking the completion of a $50m renovation. It added a 99-room hotel, a restaurant and an event space.
Located in the Bridgeport area of Sullivan in Madison County, the venue has also doubled the size of the casino floor and updated the Fireside Lounge, Perfect Pour Café and The Evergreen.
Oneida Indian Nation leadership, elected officials, business leaders and community representatives participated in the opening event. The participants unveiled an updated Point Place Casino Hotel logo over the original log used for a ceremonial log cutting to mark the property’s opening in 2018.
Oneida Indian Nation representative and Turning Stone Enterprises chief executive officer Ray Halbritter said: “This expansion is the largest reinvestment we have made in Point Place, adding new experiences and amenities to the property, while keeping in place everything that has made it so beloved by our guests and the community. We are incredibly proud of our team and the support this Point Place Casino Hotel has received from the community – it is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together and invest in our future.”
Madison County Board of Supervisors chairman Jim Cunningham added: “This hotel is not just stone, glass and timber. It is a vision made real, ready to lift this region into a new era of growth and opportunity. Jobs created here are not merely positions to be filled; they are lifelines for families.”
New York State Senator Joseph A. Griffo commented: “What we’re seeing today—the potential, the extraordinary opportunity—that comes through partnerships. That investment will continue, that potential exists because the Oneidas and Turning Stone Enterprises have been an engine for economic opportunity not only in this region but across the state.”
New York State Assembly Member Brian Miller said: “We’re experiencing a rebirth here in Central New York that we haven’t seen in over 100 years. And the Oneida Indian Nation and their vision is the biggest part of what’s going to happen here.”
