As the largest operator on the Las Vegas Strip, MGM Resorts has more experience in full-scale casinos and gaming than anyone, and we’re eager to showcase the best our company and industry has to offer at Empire City. On March 22, MGM spokeswoman Dara Cohen confirmed for Bonus that her company is submitting a proposal for a full New York retail casino license for the downstate raceway.Ĭohen, MGM’s regional corporate communications director, told Bonus:Ī full-scale casino offering a world-class gaming experience in Yonkers is a game-changer that will transform the community with an influx of 13,000 jobs, including more than 2,000 direct hires, and $1 billion in economic activity to the region. That makes its future related to the Yonkers raceway, Empire City Casino, because that’s also an MGM property. So it will be impacted by the full licenses that a New York State Gaming Commission (NYSGC) siting board awards. That said, Borgata “is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary” of MGM Resorts International. They said remodeling The Water Club tower and rebranding it as the MGM Tower was in the works for “quite some time,” because it’s meant to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Borgata Hotel, Casino, and Spa. The $55 million Borgata remodel plans aren’t a response to three pending downstate New York retail casino licenses, according to representatives of the Atlantic City casino.
