Resorts World Catskills opened in 2018 on the site of the historic Concord Hotel in Monticello, New York. (Genting Group’s Resorts World Hudson Valley and Resorts World New York City, have since opened in New York State.) There’s a different feeling and more Asian flair at this hotel and casino resort.

Like its competitors, Resorts World has hotel rooms tucked into a modern tower above a sprawling base full of gaming tables, restaurants, shops and activities. Unlike them, it’s in The Catskills, a well-known resort area packed with other family hotel and attractions options.

This East Coast casino resort is also not easy for families to navigate. The awkward layout puts more emphasis on gaming facilities for day-trippers than destination resort amenities. However, if a live show at the 2,500-seat RW Epicenter appeals, you might enjoy a night here.
