10. It is Home to the Only Casino in NYC
New York City may be a place where tourists come to spend a pretty penny or two, you can also win some here too! Nearby John F. Kennedy International Airport you’ll find the Resorts World Casino, the only casino in all of New York City. Resorts World sits tall and mighty at 110-00 Rockaway Boulevard in Ozone Park. The casino was a glamorous addition to the neighborhood made in 2011, and within 2012 alone brought in nearly $700 million in revenue from its over 10 million visitors, making it the top slot revenue generator in the U.S. at the time, according to the New York Gaming Association.
The casino is equipped with over 6,500 slot machines and games and is easily accessed via public transportation. Those interested can use either the Q37 bus, the A Train (arriving at North Conduit subway station), or the shuttle that takes visitors from Jamaica Station directly to the premises.
