New renderings show a planned $5 billion expansion of the Big Apple’s first-full fledged casino that will transform it into the largest integrated gaming resort in the country.

Resorts World New York City near the former Aqueduct race track in Queens will launch the next phase of the expansion Wednesday — complete with a second 400-room hotel tower and a 7,000-person concert arena.

This groundbreaking comes a day after Resorts World unveiled its first-floor expansion, putting an additional 1,400 slot machines online and open to the public.

The Post obtained renderings of the expanded complex, which will include…a second 400-room Hyatt hotel tower and a new luxury Crockfords hotel, adding to the existing 400-room Hyatt Regency hotel that opened in 2021.
