Resorts World Opens New York City’s First High-Roller Casino Room
Resorts World New York City has opened the International Room, a dedicated high-limit gaming space offering premium casino experiences to players in Queens.
The 13,657-square-foot venue features 48 table games, including baccarat, roulette, and blackjack, along with three private gaming salons. Guests can also access food and beverage service around the clock without leaving the VIP area.
The opening marks a significant milestone for the casino, which previously offered electronic gaming machines and limited table-game options. The property received approval for a full-scale casino license in 2025, allowing it to expand into live dealer games and sports betting.
The International Room opened on October 22, coinciding with the casino’s 15th anniversary. The launch is part of a wider $5.5 billion development plan that will transform the Queens property into a major entertainment destination.
The broader project includes nearly 2,000 hotel rooms, a 7,000-seat arena, restaurants, bars, and green spaces. Resorts World’s expansion reflects growing competition among New York casino operators as they seek to attract high-value customers and establish themselves as destinations beyond gambling.
