New York City has officially joined the ranks of major US gambling hubs with the opening of Resorts World, its first full-fledged casino. Located in Queens, the massive complex promises to bring a Las Vegas-style experience to the Big Apple, complete with thousands of slot machines, table games, and a hotel. In a notable absence, industry giants Wynn, MGM, and Caesars - all major players in the US casino market - have opted not to participate in the city's gaming scene, at least for now. As Resorts World prepares to welcome its first customers, questions remain about the impact this new gaming destination will have on the city's economy, local communities, and the broader US casino landscape.
