Soft
opening now underway, December grand opening planned
Nichols,
N.Y. – November 6, 2017
– Entertainment and gaming destination Tioga Downs is thrilled to announce its
highly anticipated hotel is officially open for business.
Beginning today, select floors of the
hotel are open to all guests. Reservations are now being accepted, and can be
made online or
by calling 888-946-8464.
A grand opening celebration is scheduled
for next month. We will welcome state and local leaders, and our media
partners, to celebrate the hotel’s grand opening on Friday, December 1. A
ribbon cutting is scheduled for 1 p.m., followed by a reception with food and
beverages, and tours of the new hotel and all its amenities will be offered. This
event will serve as the unveiling of the hotel and its new accompaniments. An
official invitation will follow.
The six-story, 161-room hotel will
include the full-service AgeLess spa, fitness center, three pools, two rooftop
decks, an events center with banquet and reception areas that can accommodate
up to 400 people, and P.J. Clarke’s restaurant. Additionally, there will be a
new clubhouse for the nearby Tioga Country Club golf course.
“The opening of the hotel will mark a
major milestone in the transformation of Tioga Downs into a full-service
destination resort,” Jeff Gural, Chairman of American Racing and Entertainment LLC, said. “The hotel
offers a convenient and comfortable place for guests of all ages to stay and
enjoy the many wonderful amenities the property has to offer. This will make Tioga
Downs an even bigger draw for weddings, parties, and conferences, and bring
visitors and tourism to Tioga County.”
Ground broke on these exciting
attractions in September 2016, shortly after Tioga Downs was awarded a full
gaming license. These new additions will create hundreds of new jobs, bringing
the total number of Tioga Downs employees to about 700.
