'Finally it's here: Sullivan's casino opening Thursday'.
The Times Herald-Record asserted that the losses occurred 'due to gross gaming revenues that lagged 45 percent below company projections in year-one alone, in a Northeast market over-saturated with gambling options'. During the period between the casino's February 2018 opening and June 2019, the company reported $211.5 million in losses. In August 2019, an SEC filing indicated that Empire Resorts, the casino's parent company, was considering bankruptcy. The project opened in December 2018 as The Alder at Resorts World Catskills. In mid-2018, construction was begun on the Entertainment Village, a building next to the casino containing retail space, restaurants, and 105 hotel rooms. 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. The property features 65,000 square feet (6,000 m 2) of gaming space with 112 table games and over 2,150 slot machines, and an 18-story hotel tower with 332 suites. It was built on the former site of the Concord Hotel. It opened on February 8, 2018, and is owned and operated by Empire Resorts.
