Queens is about to level up in a big way — and Nas is front and center making it happen. The hip-hop legend just got a major win after the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) gave the green light to a $5 billion plan that would turn Resorts World New York City into a full-on casino and entertainment destination.
We’re talking luxury hotels, more gaming, live concert venues, dope restaurants, and even community investment projects — all right in Nas’ hometown. The man who put Queensbridge on the map is now helping push one of the biggest developments New York has ever seen.
The expansion could include a 7,000-seat arena, 3,000 new housing units, and over 30 dining spots (World Casino Directory). Beyond the bright lights, the project is expected to bring thousands of jobs and major community investment to Southeast Queens. For Nas, it’s deeper than business — it’s about cultural pride and showing what Queens can be when the community leads the way.
And with competition heating up — like Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Caesars bid for Times Square that got denied — this Queens project feels like it’s got the inside track. One thing’s for sure: Nas is once again proving he’s not just a rap icon, but a hometown hero still finding ways to give back.
