NICHOLS, N.Y. — Tioga Downs Casino Resort has decided to close its hotel again, as it awaits guidance from the state on the safe reopening of casinos and movie theaters.
Tioga Downs Casino Resort originally reopened its hotel on June 26 in anticipation that the casino would be allowed to reopen in phase 4 of New York’s regional economic reopening process. That didn’t happen.
With Gov. Andrew Cuomo indicating that “it will be some time” before non-Native American-operated casinos are allowed to reopen in New York state, Tioga Downs Casino Resort said it decided to halt hotel operations “until there is a better understanding of when [it] can also reopen the casino.”
