Empire City Casino Introduce

Based on online customer reviews, experiences at Empire City Casino are mixed. One reviewer had a very negative experience at one of the bars. They reported being presented with a payment slip for $20 for two beers without an itemized receipt and a space to add gratuity. When they inquired if a tip was already included (as they believed was the case during a previous visit where gratuity was itemized as included), the bartender allegedly became confrontational. The manager, when called, reportedly provided an irrelevant receipt from a previous cash transaction. This reviewer cautioned others about a potential "scam" related to tipping.

In contrast, another reviewer had an "amazing time" in the entertainment lounge. They specifically praised Chrissy R and the Melodic Village Band for creating a great atmosphere with many people dancing and enjoying themselves. The band's song choices and the singers' powerful performances were highlighted. The reviewer also noted the band's interaction with the crowd, which grew throughout the night. They expressed a strong desire to return specifically to see the band perform again.

As a "Casino Near Me" option in Yonkers, NY, Empire City Casino offers gaming and an entertainment lounge with live music. Potential local users should be aware of a reported issue concerning billing and tipping at one of the bars. However, the entertainment lounge, particularly performances by Chrissy R and the Melodic Village Band, seems to be a significant draw, providing a lively and enjoyable experience. Information regarding other services, features, or any current promotional information beyond the entertainment in the lounge is not detailed in these reviews. Local users interested in live music and a vibrant atmosphere might find the entertainment lounge appealing, while those purchasing drinks should be mindful of the reported billing concerns.

ZERO STARS BEWARE OF SCAM! I went tonight with my husband and we got two bottle beers Heineken & Coors lt, I came here about a year ago and in the first bar they gave me an itemized receipt and it said the Gratuity was included, to my understanding that means a TIP which is great, so tonight when I paid with my visa debit and got the paper to sign it just said $20 without any items and to add gratuity so I call the bartender over and asked is the tip included she started screaming that she won’t get that tonight & that is what her boss pays her in her check but that is NOT A TIP FROM ME when I ask for a manager because she refused to give me an itemized receipt he said yes & than give me a receipt from the month of January that I paid cash what a joke. You want to double your tip through the wrong way.

I visited the casino last night and had an amazing time in the entertainment lounge. Chrissy R and the Melodic Village Band really brought the vibes. There were so many people dancing and genuinely having a great time! Their song choices were on point and the singers were powerhouses. The entire band was fantastic! They interacted with the crowd a lot which was really cool and the crowd grew as the night went on. I would definitely go back just to see them perform again!

ur feedback: Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ (1/5) Review: This is the worst place in the world. I do not recommend it at all! If you want to waste your money and lose it, then go ahead—but otherwise, stay away. Terrible experience, and I wouldn’t go back.

I won a few bucks on the penny slots last night. I found the slot machine games w/ large &/or multiple fields to be the most entertaining & profitable, though that's not a scientific assessment, since obviously, the house always wins overall. Also, live entertainment was entertaining!

Welcome, fells very safe. Bathrooms are really clean and nicer. The middle of the hallway going to the back to the food court is way to hot heating ambiance. To the point that I almost passed out. I needed to sit down for 30 minutes to recover. The entrance is cool temperatures and nice. After all, great pleasure. The food court I spend 80 dollars. A d the food was seriously old fashioned and hard bread , and the kitchens services not quite happy to see customers. Very low quality food. The parking is amazing. After all, I would return to play without eating there and not to go I. The middle of the hallway to play.
