03.12.18 - A glimpse inside Resorts World Catskills, upstate’s newest casino
"It’s about a two-hour drive from Nassau County to Monticello, New York, in the heart of the former Borscht Belt...Resorts World Catskills has received a lot of buzz both before and after cutting the ribbon on Feb. 8. More than three years and $1.2 billion in the making, the sprawling resort and casino will, when complete, have 332 suites, nearly a dozen places to eat, and — later in 2018 — another adjacent boutique hotel and “entertainment complex” with retail shops and a few more restaurants. Eventually, an indoor water park called The Kartrite will open, as will an 18-hole Rees Jones-designed golf course."
"And there’s even more to come: In late spring, a spa with two indoor pools, its own bar and private farm-to-table restaurant (with an as-yet unnamed Michelin-starred chef) will debut, as will two fitness rooms and a handful of private gaming salons, one of the luxe details that aim squarely at high rollers and those that travel with them."
