11:28 AM EDT, 09/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- MGM Resorts International ( MGM ) won a key vote from a local advisory committee on supporting its proposed $2.3 billion expansion of Empire City Casino in Yonkers, New York, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.

The New York Gaming Facility Location Board will make a final decision on the project by Dec. 1, the report said.

If approved, the expansion would allow MGM to introduce table games such as blackjack and roulette, along with new restaurants, a sportsbook, meeting space, and a 5,100-seat entertainment venue.

MGM didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
