Many competitors vie to build casino in NYC

Competition to build a casino in Manhattan is intensifying with several players, including VICI Properties, seen as viable bidders, despite the challenge of getting approval from the community. Vornado Realty Group has also signaled its interest, with CEO Steven Roth telling investors in 2021 that “we have heard the chatter and have been approached,” and SL Green Realty and Hard Rock Cafe representatives met with elected officials this year to promote 1515 Broadway as a location.
