New Additions Elevate the Turning Stone Experience
Situated along a popular tourism route in Upstate New York, Turning Stone Resort Casino continues to stand out as a leading casino destination in the state. Recent major enhancements have added a fresh layer of excitement to the resort, introducing casino gaming reminiscent of Las Vegas alongside top-tier services and amenities designed to delight every visitor. These improvements aim to keep the resort competitive amidst growing regional options.
Exciting Amenities and Services Now Available
The resort proudly announced the completion of its highly anticipated expansion project, highlighted by the introduction of The Crescent, a sleek 258-room hotel that enhances visitor comfort through its modern design. This new hotel seamlessly connects guests to Turning Stone’s diverse offerings, including dining, spa services, and gaming options.
Within The Crescent, The Pantry offers a convenient grab-and-go café experience perfect for quick refreshments. The building also hosts Oneida Sky, a boutique showcasing jewelry, artwork, and keepsakes crafted by members of the Oneida Indian Nation. Additionally, The Crescent is home to Rome Health Convenient Care, a professional medical facility that provides accessible healthcare services to guests and staff alike.
A standout feature of the expansion is Salt, an upscale restaurant occupying the entire seventh floor of The Crescent. Salt offers diners extraordinary culinary experiences complemented by stunning views of the Mohawk Valley from two spacious terraces. Guests may also choose from four intimate private dining rooms that blend classic fine dining with regional specialties for a truly memorable meal.
Strengthening Its Role as a Regional Leader
The grand opening of The Crescent marked a significant milestone in Upstate New York’s luxury hospitality scene. This $400 million development has transformed Turning Stone into a premier venue not only for leisure but also for meetings and conventions. Ray Halbritter, CEO of Turning Stone Enterprises and a representative of the Oneida Indian Nation, expressed pride in the resort’s ability to compete with the world’s most prestigious destinations.
The expansion is expected to provide substantial economic advantages to the surrounding area. The initial economic impact exceeded $600 million, supporting approximately 3,500 jobs related to construction and affiliated sectors during development. Post-completion, the resort offers hundreds of new employment opportunities and anticipates increased tourism to fuel further economic growth.
Turning Stone Enterprises, the overseeing company for the resort and additional properties, has grown into one of the largest employers in the region. Its operations span multiple industries including hospitality, dining, golf, and entertainment. The Crescent demonstrates the company’s dedication to innovation and progress while honoring the resort’s original spirit and identity.
