Empire City Casino
Year-round

BEGINNING MAY 1, 2013 THE EMPIRE CITY SHUTTLE WILL BE DEPARTING FROM MT. VERNON WEST STATION – IT WILL NO LONGER PICK UP AT FLEETWOOD STATION.  YOU MUST TAKE THE TRAIN TO THE MOUNT VERNON WEST STOP.

Empire City
The experience

Imagine 5,300 slot machines all in one place.  Now add electronic table games, live harness racing and live entertainment.  Did we mention the food?  Restaurants, a food court, and even a Good Time Room you can reserve in advance for a party of 300 or more.  No, it’s not Las Vegas.  It’s Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, and it’s just a half-hour train ride from New York City.


For more information about Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, including a complete schedule of promotions, entertainment and live racing, please see the event calendar at www.empirecitycasino.com, or call 914-968-4200.
