Frequently Asked Questions
What steps are being taken to ensure the neighborhood is safe?
Wynn and Related will invest their full security resources to ensure the resort, the Hudson Yards complex and the surrounding areas remain safe and secure. Like many of our neighbors, Related already has a significant investment in the area with Hudson Yards. Related and Wynn will essentially be doubling down on that investment with Wynn New York City, therefore we have the same incentive to ensure the surrounding area remains safe. The Wynn Neighborhood Improvement Fund will also help neighborhood and other organizations including the Hudson Yards/Hell’s Kitchen Alliance with incremental neighborhood safety.
How can the community provide input about the project?
Local residents will be able to provide public comments as part of the ULURP process and throughout the Community Advisory Committee Process. For the latest news, specific questions, or further details on Wynn New York City, please contact us here.

What is Wynn New York City?
Wynn New York City is a proposed world-class resort to be developed at Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s West Side by Wynn Resorts and Related Companies/Oxford Properties Group. Wynn New York City represents the next phase of Hudson Yards that will create thousands of union construction jobs and permanent union careers, and – through direct tax revenue and ancillary economic benefits – provide significant quality of life improvements for the neighborhood and enormous economic opportunity for the entire city.
Where exactly will Wynn New York City be located in Hudson Yards?
The proposed development is planned for Hudson Yards West, located between 11th and 12th Avenues and 30th and 33rd Streets on the west side of Manhattan, just south of the Javits Center and over the existing Long Island Railroad (LIRR) Western Rail Yards.
Who is behind the development of this project?
Wynn Resorts and Related Companies/Oxford Property Group have formed a joint venture to develop and operate Wynn New York City. This best-in-class partnership brings together top-ranked, respected organizations with the experience, resources, skills and ambition to make this project a transformative success.
Wynn New York City’s gaming floor is 250,000 square feet - larger than Wynn/Encore Las Vegas and any other Las Vegas strip casino. Why is it so big?
Gaming floors in Las Vegas are typically smaller compared to single-market casinos across the U.S. The primary reason is that the Las Vegas Strip features 45 casinos collectively offering more than 1 million square feet of gaming space. Wynn New York City’s gaming floor (250,000 sq. ft.), which makes up 3.6 percent of the entire Hudson Yards West development plan, will be a medium-sized casino by single-market casino standards. The largest casinos in the country, including Mohegan Sun & Foxwoods Casino Resorts in Connecticut, range from 600,000-340,000 square feet.
