Update on Proposed Casinos in New York City
By Manhattan Real Estate Tracker, 2026
The proposed Caesars Palace Times Square casino was struck down by the Community Advisory Committee having rejected it 4-2 in September 2025. The community citied traffic issues and the economic impact on the theater district. This resulted in ending , therefore halting SL Green Realty, Caesars Entertainment, and Roc Nation’s bid for a state gaming license. A large casino was proposed at 1515 Broadway, which is currently home to the Minskoff Theatre and owned by SL Green Realty.
The New York State Gaming Commission approved three casinos, Bally’s Bronx at Ferry Point near Throgs Neck, Hard Rock Metropolitan Park in Willets Point, Queens and Resorts World New York City at Aqueduct Racetrack. These casinos are going to open by 2030.
