SULLIVAN, N.Y. — The Oneida Indian Nation on Monday formally opened the newly expanded Point Place Casino Hotel in the Bridgeport area of the town of Sullivan in Madison County.
The $50 million investment added a new 99-room hotel to the property, a farm-to-fork restaurant The Forest Grill, Birch Trading Co., and a group event space.
The Point Place Casino Hotel is “designed to be a gathering place for the Bridgeport community and to support regional tourism,” the Oneida Indian Nation said in its announcement.

The formal opening event brought together Oneida Indian Nation leadership, elected officials, labor partners, business leaders, and community representatives to commemorate the opening. The event included the unveiling of an updated Point Place Casino Hotel logo over the original log used for a ceremonial log cutting to mark the property’s grand opening in 2018.
“This expansion is the largest reinvestment we have made in Point Place, adding new experiences and amenities to the property, while keeping in place everything that has made it so beloved by our guests and the community,” Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation representative and CEO of Turning Stone Enterprises, said. “We are incredibly proud of our team and the support this Point Place Casino Hotel has received from the community — it is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together and invest in our future.”
