"Queens, New York, is preparing for a dramatic shift in its entertainment and hospitality landscape. A $5.5 billion proposal for a new casino, backed by Grammy-winning hip-hop icon Nas, has officially received unanimous approval from the Community Advisory Board. The project, which partners Nas with Resorts World Casino New York City and parent company Genting Americas East, marks one of the largest planned developments in New York State history."
"The scale of this project is unprecedented for the borough. Plans call for a sprawling entertainment complex that includes a 350,000-square-foot casino, a state-of-the-art performance venue with seating for 7,000, and over 30 new food and beverage partnerships designed to showcase both international cuisine and local New York talent. Complementing the entertainment and dining options will be 1,600 new hotel rooms inside a Hyatt Regency located near John F. Kennedy International Airport, positioning the project as a hub for both tourists and business travelers."
