As casino gaming is expanding in New York, retail malls are struggling. Now, those two trends have merged in the Orange County town of Newburgh. AielloTV visited the soon-to-open, first-ever casino inside a New York shopping mall.
A flock of seagulls outnumbered cars at the Newburgh Mall, where Sears just closed and many storefronts are empty.
Goldman is a Newburgh area native who remembers the space as a mall anchor store. Now, she's one of 250 employees ready to greet gamblers who will take aim at 1,200 slot machines and 82 electronic table games. The 90,000 square-foot facility is missing something you find inside most casinos -- a restaurant. The thinking is the casino will draw new customers, creating demand for new businesses inside the struggling mall.
