Oneida Indian Nation Officially Opens The Lounge with Caesars Sports
The betting desks opened this morning at the Oneida Indian Nation’s highly-anticipated The Lounge with Caesars Sports at Turning Stone and Point Place Casino.
Today, August, 1, 2019, the Oneida Indian Nation proudly opened The Lounge with Caesars Sports, the new sports book experience at Turning Stone and Point Place Casino, in development with Caesars Entertainment.
Themed as the ultimate tailgate, the event welcomed Upstate New York sports fans in true fashion. Guests sampled menu items from the new sports lounge and mingled with mascots and cheerleaders from local sports teams. Ray Halbritter, Oneida Nation Representative and Nation Enterprises CEO and Walt Fales, SVP of Strategic Development of Caesars Entertainment told the crowd how this branding and marketing alliance brings together two industry leaders that will cultivate the ultimate sports fan experience. They were joined by Howard Glaser, Global Head of Government Affairs & Special Initiatives at Scientific Games, Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente, New York State Assembly Member Marianne Buttenschon, Verona Town Supervisor Scott Musacchio, and Rob Esche, President of the Utica Comets.
The Lounge with Caesars Sports is anticipated to open at Oneida Indian Nation’s YBR Casino & Sports Book later this summer in time for the NFL regular season.
