Resorts World Catskills' 100,000-square-foot casino floor features over 2,150 high-tech slots and 112 live table games, including Blackjack, Craps, Baccarat, Roulette and Pai Gow Tiles. A poker room and private luxurious gaming salons are expected to debut later in February. The adjoining 18-story building includes a luxury hotel that when completed will feature 332 rooms, two pools, two fitness centers and a spa and salon. The property will also feature a host of dining, entertainment and restaurant options, including a multi-purpose entertainment room that has a capacity of more than 2,000 seats.

'Today marks a major milestone, not only for Resorts World Catskills, but for all of Sullivan County,' said Luis Alvarez, chairman of the Sullivan County Legislature. 'We are confident that this casino resort will serve as a beacon of hope, opportunity and excitement for the region by generating new jobs, driving tourism, and contributing millions of dollars to our state and local economies.'

Resorts World has created 1,500 permanent jobs at the resort, with another 600 expected once the entertainment village, water park and golf course open. Resorts World projects the resort and casino will bring four million visitors to the Sullivan County property each year.

More than 3,000 union workers have been employed during the construction phase of the project, working approximately 1.8 million hours with a total construction cost of more than $520 million, state officials say. In 2017, Resorts World spent nearly $1 million per day on construction activity. At Resorts World, approximately 75% of the 1,300 permanent employees hired to date are women or minorities.

'The official opening of Resorts World Catskills has and will continue to serve as a catalyst for growth throughout the area,' said William J. Rieber, Jr., supervisor of the Town of Thompson. 'As the largest project in Thompson's history, the luxury casino resort will drive tourism to the region and bolster economic opportunity while enhancing the town's business and cultural landscape.'

The complex will also feature an adjoining massive indoor water park, an entertainment village with food and retail space and a redesigned Reese-Jones golf course.

The Kartrite Hotel & Indoor Waterpark will feature two acres of four-season indoor waterpark space and a luxury hotel with 324 exquisitely designed guest suites. Ken Ellis and Arthur Berry III, co-owners of the Poconos' premier adventure destination, Camelback Resort, are the developers of the Kartrite project that is under construction.

Aquatic Development Group has been contracted to design and build the indoor waterpark at The Kartrite.

Resorts World Catskills is being developed by Empire Resorts, a real estate development company that owns and manages several subsidiaries in the hospitality and gaming industries. The company owns Monticello Raceway through its subsidiary Monticello Raceway Management, Inc. Empire, through its subsidiary Montreign Operating Company, has entered into a license agreement to use the Resorts World brand for the casino. The company was awarded a gaming facility license by the New York State Gaming Commission to own and operate the casino in 2015.
