“This has been a summer to remember for all of Resorts World’s properties in New York State, but I’m most proud of what we have been able to accomplish for New York’s public schools by supporting students and educations with much-needed resources,” said Robert DeSalvio, President, Genting Americas East. “From Queens to the Catskills to the Hudson Valley, we are continuing to deliver on our commitment to communities, our commitment to our workforce, and our commitment to all of New York. The best part is we are just getting started and we can build on this significant momentum and elevate our contributions across the state.”
“Thanks to the ongoing growth and success of Resorts World in Queens, students and educators across the borough, across the city, and across the state are greatly benefiting,” said Thomas Grech, President & Chief Executive Officer, Queens Chamber of Commerce. “These numbers not only demonstrate the positive impact that Resorts World has had during its first dozen years but the potentially greater impact it can have in the next dozen.”

Monster Golf Club
Resorts World Catskills (RWC) is counting down the days until the Monster golf club reopens to the public. The condensed, preview season is set to begin on Tuesday, August 29. With a $40 million investment from Resorts World Catskills, the complete redesign by Rees Jones uses holes from both the current Monster golf course and the Old International Course. The Monster golf club, originally designed in 1963 by Joe Finger, was once rated by Golf Digest as one of America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses.
Kosher offerings
RWC is now open for all types of kosher events. From weddings to conventions and everything in between, kosher offerings are now available year-round. RWC held a kosher reception on Sunday, 6 August, where members of the public could taste some of the kosher food options and meet Chabad Rabbi Chanowitz, who serves as General Kosher Supervisor.
Monster Classic
RWC served as host and title sponsor of the 45th annual Monticello Rotary Monster Classic Run and Walk on Sunday, 6 August. Proceeds from the race, known by many as the “Monster Classic,” benefit the Sullivan County Veterans Coalition. RWC supported the Sullivan County Veterans Coalition through Resorts World Gives, its corporate philanthropic program, which invests in the economic and social progress of the communities their properties operate in.
Seven months as New York’s newest casino
Resorts World Hudson Valley (RWHV) just marked seven months since it opened in the Newburgh Mall. New York’s newest casino features 60,000 square feet of gaming and hospitality space, including 1,200 state-of-the-art slot machines and electronic table games, as well as the Resorts World Bet Sports Bar. Local food trucks are there on the weekend and you can always get local beverages from some of the Hudson Valley’s many distilleries, breweries and wineries.
Revitalizing the community
The vision for RWHV has always been that as an entertainment destination, it will help to revitalize the Newburgh Mall and the surrounding area. Since RWHV opened as an anchor tenant, new tenants have been announced, and Tesla plans to open a regional distribution center across from the mall by year’s end.
