NICHOLS, N.Y. (AP) — A casino in New York’s Southern Tier has opened a new resort hotel.
Developers have until July 6 to submit proposals to build a casino in New York's eastern Southern Tier, an area along the Pennsylvania border that was previously passed over for an upstate casino.

Tioga Downs held the grand opening for its new lodging facility on Friday.
The six-floor hotel has 161 rooms and room for events such as weddings and banquets.
It’s adjacent to the casino, which opened last year. Tioga Downs had operated a race track and electronic gambling hall before receiving state approval to transition into a resort casino.
Owner Jeff Gural says the hotel should make the casino an even bigger draw for visitors to the area, which sits along New York’s border with Pennsylvania.
