A full-service retail sportsbook is on site.

Sullivan County in the Catskill Mountains is home to Resorts World Catskills, the largest commercial casino resort in upstate New York and the gaming anchor of a region better known historically for its mid-twentieth century Borscht Belt resorts. The casino opened in February 2018 and represents a major investment by Genting Group’s US subsidiary Empire Resorts in the rural Sullivan County economy.
Resorts World Catskills uses the Genting Rewards loyalty program, the same card accepted at Genting and Resorts World properties worldwide, including Resorts World Las Vegas, Resorts World New York City, Resorts World Manila, and properties in Malaysia and Singapore. The program operates on a five-tier structure. Members earn points on slot play, table games, hotel stays, dining, and spa services. Points are redeemable for free play, hotel credits, dining, spa treatments, entertainment tickets, and partner rewards. The global footprint of the Genting Rewards program is a meaningful differentiator for frequent travelers who visit multiple Resorts World properties.

Sullivan County’s economy was shaped for decades by the Catskill resort industry. The Concord, Grossinger’s, Kutcher’s, and dozens of other properties defined American leisure culture in the mid-twentieth century before declining in the 1970s and 1980s. Resorts World Catskills is the most significant hospitality and gaming investment in the region since that era, and has been accompanied by ancillary development including additional hotel construction nearby.
The surrounding Catskills offer outdoor recreation including fishing, hiking, kayaking, and skiing at nearby resorts. The Delaware River, popular for fly fishing and tubing, is accessible from Sullivan County. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts — built on the original site of the 1969 Woodstock festival in Bethel — is approximately 10 miles from the casino and hosts summer concerts and a museum of the 1960s counterculture. The combination of casino gaming, natural scenery, outdoor recreation, and regional culture makes Sullivan County a viable multi-day destination.
