According to the press release, the casino will “provide a halo effect” inside the property. Its location will help play “a crucial role” in revitalizing the mall and its current tenants while also attracting new businesses.

Third Resorts World casino set to open doors
By now, New York is well-acquainted with the Resorts World brand, owned by Genting.
Upstate, Resorts World Catskills operates as one of the state’s four commercial land-based casinos. Closer to the big city, Resorts World NYC expects to enter the fray soon, as many consider the property as one of the frontrunners to land one of three downstate NY casino licenses.
Of course, the brand also boasts one of nine New York sports betting apps. Resorts WorldBet launched as an online sportsbook in March.
Now, the Hudson Valley property is ready to get in on the action.
