Resorts World Catskills is a casino and hotel in Kiamesha Lake, New York.[2] It opened on February 8, 2018,[3] and is owned and operated by Empire Resorts.[4] It was built on the former site of the Concord Hotel.[5] The property features 65,000 square feet (6,000 m2) of gaming space with 112 table games and over 2,150 slot machines,[6] and an 18-story hotel tower with 332 suites.[7]

The property was originally to be named Montreign Resort Casino but announced in April 2017 that it would instead license the Resorts World name from Genting Group, the majority owner of Empire Resorts.[8][9]

In mid-2018, construction was begun on the Entertainment Village, a building next to the casino containing retail space, restaurants, and 105 hotel rooms.[10] The project was expected to open in December 2018.[10]
