MGM Yonkers Inc., a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International, submitted its commercial casino license application to the New York Gaming Commission and Gaming Facility Location Board. The proposal outlines a $2.3 billion plan to transform its Empire City Casino site into a commercial casino and entertainment destination.
The development plans include a full renovation and expansion of Empire City Casino's existing gaming areas, an expansive high-limit lounge, and the addition of a state-of-the-art BetMGM Sportsbook for retail sports betting. The project also envisions a 5,000-person capacity entertainment venue and three new full-service restaurants.
If awarded the license, MGM Yonkers anticipates completing all project elements by mid-2029. Bill Hornbuckle, President and CEO of MGM Resorts International, stated that a full casino license would ensure Empire City continues to be a cultural and economic force, generating significant financial benefits for the City of Yonkers and surrounding counties.
