The New York State Gaming Commission hosted a virtual scoping session Wednesday evening for the Caesars Palace Times Square casino development proposal. The commission scheduled the additional scoping session after facing backlash for running last week’s session with little advance public notice.
During public comments, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts President and CEO Geoff Ballotti chimed in to offer his support for the project.
“We believe that this is the only location, having looked at them all, been approached by other partners, where a casino will blend seamlessly into … the identity and the character of a neighborhood that really needs an upgrade,” Ballotti said.
