Culinary Casinos

Perhaps more than any other destination, casinos are specifically designed to let your fantasies unwind. However, gambling and flashy shows featuring big-name acts aren’t the only reasons that people visit casinos. In order to attract guests, casinos have upped the ante in terms of culinary offerings.

Once known as a place to dine at cheap buffets, casinos now offer gourmet meals that are often prepared by celebrity chefs. And while most casinos provide the same type of gaming options, their menus are as diverse as the culinary philosophy of the chefs themselves. Gamers who appreciate the fine art of cooking can treat their taste buds to exquisite dining at these culinary casinos.

Resorts World Catskills Casino Resort

Occupying the space where the iconic Con-cord Hotel once stood in the pristine Catskills region of upstate New York, Resorts World Catskills Casino Resort has quickly become a culinary destination resort. With ten distinct dining experiences on site, guests can choose from the diner-like 24/7 Bistro which puts a creative twist on comfort food classics, or the highly acclaimed Cellaio, celebrity chef’s Scott Conant’s restaurant which showcases Black Angus beef dry-aged for 21-28 days. The result is the most succulent, melt-in-your-mouth steak this side of Texas. Don’t miss the creamy Polenta Boscaiola with bacon, truffles and mushrooms that bursts with a combination of delightful flavors. Guests can select from more than 500 wines. Often serving 10,000 guests on a single Saturday, the behemoth food and beverage operations are supervised by Michael Beford and implemented by Executive Chef Frank Dimino.
