Resorts World Catskills one step closer to opening

The casino was granted a temporary conditional certificate of occupancy (TCO) by the town of Thompson, in New York.

US.- The certificate, which was issued on December 28, 2017 confirms that the resort is on track for a mid-February opening. At the same time, it enables the relocation of management offices and the on-premises training of employees.

Empire Resorts’ Executive Vice President Charles Degliomini said, “Our entire staff is starting to move in and we are getting people familiar with the layout of the building and what elevators to use and what entrances to use and how to walk to their assigned posts, so it is all starting to gear up. It’s very exciting.”

The casino resort is expected to open in mid-February; however, no specific date has been confirmed. New York awarded Empire Resorts the only permit in the Mid-Hudson Valley/Catskills region to develop a Las Vegas-style casino some two years ago. The firm will also continue to operate its Monticello Casino and Raceway in nearby Monticello.
