Turning Stone Resort Casino

What Turning Stone Resort Casino does

Turning Stone Resort Casino, LLC is a privately held, tribally owned integrated destination resort and casino operated by the Oneida Indian Nation on its sovereign land in Verona, NY, 30 miles east of Syracuse. Founded in 1993, it anchors a portfolio of seven on-property accommodation brands totaling 1,056 guest keys (The Lodge, The Tower, The Brook, The Crescent opening 2026, The Inn, Sandstone Hollow Inn, and The Villages RV Park), a full-service casino floor with slots, table games, bingo, poker room, and a Caesars Sportsbook-powered sportsbook, five golf courses (Atunyote, Kaluhyat, Shenendoah, Pleasant Knolls, Sandstone Hollow), two spa brands including the Forbes Four-Star skn Spa, over a dozen dining venues anchored by TS Steakhouse, Wildflowers, and the new Salt, and 225,000 sq ft of meetings space being expanded by The Grand Expo conference center opening in 2026.

Revenue mechanics span gaming win, hotel room revenue, food & beverage, golf green fees and memberships, spa and wellness services, entertainment ticketing, and meetings/conventions contracts - all purchased direct-to-consumer via the resort website, mobile app (iOS/Android), OpenTable for dining, and an on-site corporate sales team for groups up to 1,500 attendees. The TS Rewards points-based loyalty program (100 pts = $1) and a Caesars Sportsbook alliance for mobile sports betting in New York State extend monetization beyond the physical property. Customers are diverse across casino gamers, golfers, corporate meeting planners, leisure travelers, wedding couples, and luxury seekers; commercial customers are fragmented and none materially anchor revenue.

The $370-400M Turning Stone Evolution project - the largest single reinvestment in the resort's history - adds The Crescent (258 rooms), The Grand Expo, and the Elizabeth Blau-designed Salt restaurant, accelerated from 2027 to early 2026 to position the property as New York's largest meetings and conventions resort. Operational technology is conventional: a mobile app, online booking engines, TS Rewards platform, and third-party integrations (OpenTable, ChargePoint, Tesla Superchargers, Blink, eGifter); no proprietary AI/ML capabilities are described. The website conforms to WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards.
