US – del Lago Resort & Casino to open February 1
By Phil - 17 January 2017
Excitement for the new del Lago Resort & Casino in the state of New York has been building for more than a year.
At 10 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017, the wait will be over as del Lago officially opens its casino doors to the public. After a ribbon cutting and brief press conference featuring del Lago Resort & Casino officials and local dignitaries who were instrumental in the $440m project, del Lago will welcome hundreds of visitors from across the state and the region. Casino visitors will be among the first to enjoy the 2,000 slot machines and 85 gaming tables, including 10 poker tables. The milestone event marks the continued progress of the project, which has stayed on time and on budget.
“February first will be a day that so many people in the Finger Lakes region have been waiting for, and we are excited to officially announce our opening day,” said Jeff Babinski, executive vice president and general manager at del Lago. “Del Lago Resort & Casino will feature something for everyone — not just casino customers. From the time our guests arrive at del Lago Resort & Casino until the moment they leave, they will experience a world-class facility, warm and friendly customer service, amazing food and an environment that is like no other. Great things are worth the wait and we are excited to open our doors to the Finger Lakes community and beyond.”
Del Lago’s luxurious 205-room hotel, banquet facility and 12,000-square-foot spa will open in summer 2017.
Officials plan to announce additional grand-opening events and entertainment acts at The Vine in the coming weeks.
Del Lago has created 1,800 construction jobs and 1,800 permanent jobs, and will generate more than $90m annually for New York state and local governments.
