National Honors for Two Upstate New York Casinos
A couple of Upstate New York casinos are among the best in the U.S.
Resorts World Catskills, near Monticello in Sullivan County, came in at #7 and Turning Stone, right here Oneida County's Verona, NY, was #9. The ranking was conducted by 10Best.com, which is affiliated with USA Today. A panel of experts identified 20 finalists from among over 1,000 full service casinos nationwide. Then, readers voted. Turning Stone opened in 1993 and has undergone several expansions. Earlier this year, it was named the “overall best” gaming resort in New York state by Casino Player Magazine.
