York State Gaming Commission to develop and operate a resort casino
located at the site of a four-season destination resort being
developed in the Town of Thompson in Sullivan County, New York,
approximately 90 miles from New York City. The Company is the sole
holder of a gaming facility license in the Hudson Valley-Catskills
Area, which consists of Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Greene,

When complete, Resorts World Catskills will include an 18-story

the art slot machines, a poker room and private gaming salons.
Guest amenities will include 332 all-suite luxury rooms, which

choose from 10 varied bar and restaurant experiences, including
fine dining, and an Italian steakhouse created by celebrity chef
Scott Conant. Guests can also enjoy year-round live entertainment
at the 2,500-seat event center, casino bars, restaurants and
lounges.
The destination resort in which Resorts World Catskills is
located will also include an entertainment village providing
additional entertainment, food and accommodations. In early 2019, a
Rees Jones-redesigned golf course and The Kartrite, an indoor
waterpark lodge, will also be added to this destination resort.
