Venue Spotlight: Rivers Casino and Resort
The Venue
Rivers Casino and Resort located in Schenectady is the Capital Region’s premier gaming destination. The venue is home to a hotel, casino, fine dining restaurants, and numerous event spaces to fit intimate and large-scale events alike. The casino sits on the bank of the Mohawk River with the ballroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a gorgeous waterfront view. This main event space can accommodate up to 500 guests and is the perfect location for a corporate banquet or grand social celebration. At 10,000 square feet, the ballroom is one of the largest event spaces that the area has to offer, plus its 4,000 square foot pre-function space is ideal to hold check-in or cocktail hour. If the weather is in your favor, Rivers has 9,000 square feet of private terrace space for your enjoyment. Your guests can relish in the unobstructed river views throughout the evening hours with lights strung above the outdoor patio year-round.
The Casino’s on-site accommodations and services truly make this venue one-of-a-kind. Guests can stay on-site throughout your event’s duration at The Landing Hotel and can spend their leisure time playing the Casino’s array of gaming activities. The venue also has a full-service caterer and in-house event planners to make sure your event goes off without a hitch!
