That expansion project focused on bringing more convention business to the upstate New York resort destination.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">About 77K square feet of flexible event space has been built, along with 258 more hotel rooms, a boutique casino, and a 2,000-space parking garage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>New York Tribal Casinos Prosper<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Oneida Indian Nation is one of three federally recognized tribes in upstate New York that have Class III gaming compacts with the state to operate traditional slot machines and conduct live dealer table games and in-person sports betting.
