“What a gift to spend some time this holiday season welcoming guests and visitors to Resorts World Hudson Valley,” said Robert DeSalvio, President, Genting Americas East. “Along with our partners in Orange County, we are elated the casino is now open for business and we can’t wait for the area to begin to reap the benefits. We’ve received such a warm welcome from the Hudson Valley community and hope residents swing by to check us out. We can think of no better way to ring in 2023 than by celebrating right here with us at Resorts World Hudson Valley.”
