Experience
Resorts World Catskills, Thompson, NY
This $500 million casino expansion project brought new attention to the Catskills region of New York. With the desire to expand and upgrade its 40,000 sq. ft. casino and racetrack, Empire Resorts (now Resorts World) began master planning efforts. A location less than 5 miles away was selected for the new facility. Nestled within acres of a region rich with a legacy of tourism, the redevelopment of this Catskills property envisions a new multi-faceted destination resort. Dudley continued his work with Resorts World through 2019 as our team completed the new Alder Hotel for guests of the resort.
