Genting presents New York casino proposal to Community Advisory Committee, described as state’s largest IR

Genting Malaysia’s US subsidiary, Genting New York LLC, said Monday it had completed a key step in its pursuit of a full New York casino license after presenting its expansion plan for Resorts World New York City (RWNYC) to the Community Advisory Committee (CAC).

RWNYC will, if granted a full license, become New York State’s largest fully integrated casino resort and represents the largest bid of all proposals in New York City’s ongoing casino licensing process in terms of site size, build-area and casino-floor area, the company said.

It added that it could open the expanded IR as early as July 2026 given that it has been granted all land-use approvals and is ready to start construction the day it receives a license.

Genting is one of eight companies in the running for one of three full casino licenses on offer, and one of two alongside MGM Resorts and its MGM Empire City whose proposal is an expansion of their existing property.

Under Genting’s US$5.5 billion proposal, RWNYC – which is currently permitted to operate electronic gaming machines only – would become a 5.6 million-square-foot integrated resort with up to 6,000 slot machines, 800 gaming tables, 2,000 hotel rooms, a 7,000-seat arena, more than 7,000 parking spaces, more than 30 food and beverage outlets, a spa and more than a dozen acres of community greenspace.

“We’re proud to have grown with the Queens community for nearly 15 years. What the Community Advisory Committee heard today was a vision for a transformative project that will be a game-changer for this borough, the city and the state,” said Robert DeSalvio, President of Genting Americas East.

“Since Resorts World was granted operations of the Aqueduct site in 2010, we have sought to be a neighbor that Queens deserves, providing 1,000 good union jobs, invested millions of dollars into our neighbors and built everlasting bonds with the community. But we also made them a promise to do more in every sense of the term and today’s proposal lays out just how we will.”

Genting added that RWNYC had recently formed a joint venture with Cirrus Workforce Housing to help fund the construction of up to 50,000 units of workforce housing throughout the city. It has also pledged US$50 million in start-up funding for the new Resorts World Innovation Campus, which will include state-of-the-art The Jet Center led by the two-time NBA Champion Kenny “The Jet” Smith, a Community Health and Wellness Center, and a Queens STEAM Institute.

The full proposal can be viewed here.
