“Having Vegas headliner Steve Wyrick perform his magical ‘landing’ of a helicopter on our stage was the perfect way to launch this hotel and its ‘showstopping’ features.” “We wanted the grand opening of The Landing Hotel to be amazing and unlike anything Schenectady has ever seen to let our guests know that when they come to Rivers Casino and The Landing Hotel, they can expect unparalleled entertainment and a world-class experience,” said Rivers Casino & Resort General Manager, Mary Cheeks.
Rivers Casino & Resort General Manager, Mary Cheeks, was joined by development and construction partners, community and business leaders, elected officials, and team members, including The Landing Hotel General Manager, Ryan Cimei, for the official opening of the 165-room property. The Landing’s opening festivities included a performance by ultra-magician and illusionist, Steve Wyrick, who, for his finale, made a full-size helicopter appear from thin air in a spectacular “landing” for the official launch. SCHENECTADY, NY – Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady celebrated the grand opening of The Landing Hotel with a VIP event and Vegas-style magic show that left guests spellbound. The Landing Hotel is the area’s newest boutique destination, featuring upscale accommodations, amenities and unrivaled views of the Mohawk River.
