New York advisory committees approve Resorts World and Empire City casino bids
Local advisory committees unanimously approved casino proposals from Resorts World in Queens and Empire City Casino in Yonkers, New York. The bids advance after three Manhattan proposals were rejected; the Gaming Facility Location Board is due to select winning projects in December, followed by a decision from the New York State Gaming Commission.
The approvals move two bids forward in New York's competition for up to three casino licences.
