In 2021, Resorts World Casino announced their plans to open an Orange County location in the slowly-deteriorating Newburgh Mall. While they began hiring this summer and shared their plans to open this fall, the doors have remained closed as construction continues in private.

What's Going on Behind Closed Doors?

There's now a glow, however, emanating from the 90,000 square-foot gaming floor that can be seen from nearby Route 300. While the main doors are still covered with a privacy lining, the upper windows reveal the newly-installed games inside.

Resorts World Hudson Valley Coming to the Newburgh, NY Mall

The casino's latest location was good news for many Hudson Valley residents. The Newburgh Mall has been slowly losing stores, most recently witnessing the closing of New York State's final Sears location. A peek inside the casino shows new life inside the building.

Casino Details

Resorts World Hudson Valley says that when the gaming floor finally opens, it will boast over 1,000 "cutting edge" slot machines, many of which seem to be installed and ready to be played. The lobby, however, still contains saw horses, ladders, and an electronic lift to help with final construction touches (below).

TLC show 'American Chopper' Orange County Choppers Headquarters in Newburgh Abandoned & For Sale

WARNING: Under no circumstances should you enter this property. By doing so you risk bodily harm and/or prosecution for trespassing on private property.
In 2003, a father-son business reality show hit the Discovery Channel. It was called American Chopper and it followed the custom motorcycle building business of the Teutul family out of Newburgh, NY. Paul Sr. owned the shop with sons Paul Jr and Mikey working in the business. There was a slew of cast and characters. The center of the show wasn't just the amazing custom motorcycles built for celebrities and others, it was the volatile relationship between Sr. and Jr. The show ran for 12 seasons before the two could no longer get along. It ended up in lawsuits and the two not talking for ten plus years. In the past few years, the business moved to Florida. This left the 61,000-square-foot headquarters for sale and abandoned. Take a look at what remains of Ocean County Choppers.
