Construction of the entire facility had to be completed within twenty-four months to comply with the licensing regulations.
Initial work on the 1,700-acre site was overseen by EPR Properties, and included installation of new roadways, water and sewer utilities, including a new traffic circle at Exit 106 off of Route 17 and a new 4-lane, 8,000-foot entry road.Ĭonstruction of the Resorts World Catskills Casino and Hotel was completed in late 2017, which included a below-grade parking garage, an 80,000 square foot casino, a seventeen-story 390-room hotel, as well as conference, meeting room and banquet facilities. The facility was one of only four sites selected by the New York State Gaming Commission to build and operate a full table gaming casino after a competitive selection process. Advance Testing was contracted by both EPR Properties, the property owner, and Empire Resorts, the casino owner/operator, to provide testing and inspection services over the course of this $1.2 billion entertainment and lifestyle complex.
