What exciting new developments are happening in and around the casino since its opening earlier this year?
Since opening our doors earlier this year, we have opened most of our amenities that our integrated casino resort has to offer. In addition to our 332 all-suite hotel which features 27 premium accommodations, we have launched the opening of the Crystal Life Spa, the RW Epicenter, our 2,500 seat event venue that has welcomed the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Gavin DeGraw and Sebastian Maniscalco, and the exclusive Palace High Limit Gaming area, which is designed for top-tier players and features private gaming salons, an experience you cannot find anywhere outside of Las Vegas and
Macau.
We also look forward to opening our second hotel in December which will allow us to increase the number of guests we can host, in turn, bringing more people to Sullivan County.
Resorts World Catskills has already had a tremendous impact on the Sullivan County employment scene. What opportunities are there for residents to join your staff and what qualifications should they come with?
Resorts World Catskills currently employees over 1,600 team members, with over 63% of that number coming from Sullivan County.
As we look to 2019, we plan to employee over 2,200 people throughout our campus. The positions available at Resorts World Catskills provide a unique opportunity to begin an exciting and rewarding career that offers opportunities for continued career growth, great benefits and development and we encourage Sullivan County residents to visit the careers page of our website to apply. We are looking for enthusiastic new team members who exhibit a positive attitude and a desire to provide our guests with unparalleled experiences.
What new attractions and promotions are being offered inside the casino to attract new visitors?
This summer, Resorts World Catskills introduced a series of incredible promotions for our guests that speak to the caliber of our brand. Since July 1, we have hosted “Imagine a Million,” giving guests the chance to win their share of millions of dollars in prizes each day they play, including four players who won VIP experience packages, and one lucky winner who will take home $1 million, guaranteed on Saturday, September 15.
In addition to the exceptional promotions that we will continue to offer our players, we look forward to opening our second hotel, restoring the Monster Golf Course and welcoming the Kartrite Waterpark and Lodge to our campus, all of which will put Resorts World Catskills on the map as a top integrated destination.
What restaurant do you recommend for the perfect night out?
With 10 eclectic bar and restaurant outlets, Resorts World Catskills is the perfect place for a night out. Whether you are indulging in dinner and a glass of one of our 500 varieties of wine at Cellaio, an Italian inspired steakhouse with a menu curated by celebrity chef Scott Conant, or enjoying drinks and live entertainment at Bar 360, located in the center of the action of the casino floor, we are truly able to offer a unique experience for every guest.
