Resorts World casino\u00a0will be New York City’s first to offer table games with live dealers beginning next week, the casino announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

It’s a milestone moment in the long journey<\/a> to bring full casinos to downstate New York. The operators of the casino at Aqueduct Racetrack secured one of three licenses. The others went to a planned Hard Rock Casino next to Citi Field and another that will be built by Bally’s at Ferry Point in the Bronx. Both are expected to open around 2030.<\/p>\n

But for now, Resorts World stands alone.<\/p>\n

“New York City has never seen anything like what we’re planning for April 28,” said Robert DeSalvio, the president of Resorts World’s parent company Genting America East, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

There’s a ribbon cutting scheduled for April 28, next Tuesday, that will include an appearance by the Queens hip-hop icon Nas.<\/p>\n

Here’s a by-the-numbers look at this new chapter<\/a> for the Queens casino:<\/p>\n

That’ll include expanding the Hyatt Regency at the site to 2,000 rooms from 400, a 7,000-seat entertainment venue and more than 7,000 parking spaces.<\/p>\n

Casino operators say the facility\u00a0now employs 2,200 people and the workforce will grow to 2,700 by the summer.<\/p>\n
