Resorts World New York City recently announced the opening of its new International Room, an exclusive, high-limit gaming room bringing a level of luxury, privacy and personalized hospitality to Queens.
Unveiled alongside Queens native and hip-hop icon Nas, the opening marks a significant milestone in the property’s continued evolution as the resorts-casino celebrates its 15th anniversary.
“The International Room is a major milestone in the evolution of Resorts World New York City, representing another important step toward realizing our vision of a world-class integrated resort right here in Queens,” said Meghan Taylor, senior vice president government affairs and public relations, in a statement.
Taylor believes the new high-limit room will allow the casino to offer the personal, high-touch hospitality guests expect in other destinations, and brings the resort closer to delivering the full vision of for Resorts World.
The International Room includes a 13,657 square foot space with 48 table games and three private gaming salons with high-limit baccarat, roulette and blackjack. As part of the experience, guests can enjoy dedicated hosted service, beverage offerings and 24-hour access to hot and cold dining options without leaving the gaming floor.
The private salons can be reserved to offer an added level of personalized service tailored to individual preferences, with enhanced entertainment offerings such as karaoke.
The opening is part of a broader expansion of Resorts World in Queens first floor with 57 additional table games and 147 additional slot machines coming online for a total of nearly 300 live table games and over 4,000 slot machines on the property. The enhancements reflect the property’s commitment to expanding its entertainment and hospitality experiences while attracting a new generation of luxury gaming customers.
The International Room’s debut also carries significance as Resorts World celebrates 15 years in Southeast Queens. Since opening in 2011, the property has grown into a destination for gaming, dining, entertainment and hospitality, welcoming millions of guests annually, while supporting the surrounding community and New York State’s economy.
The celebration comes fewer than seven months since the casino opened as New York City’s first and only full-fledged casino. That was followed in July with the company breaking ground on Phase II of a $5.5 billion integrated resort that will eventually house a 7,000-seat arena, dozens of bars and restaurants, 2,000 hotel rooms, and 11 acres of green space.
“We are extremely proud of the speed with which we have built and opened this incredible space that offers a new and uplifted experience to our players,” said Genting Americas East President of Development Robert DeSalvio. “Giving players and visitors what they want, as soon as possible, is priority number one for the company, and we look forward to many events like today’s in the near future.”
