The new hotel at Saratoga Casino & Raceway is under construction and scheduled for opening
this summer. When it does, Morton’s The Steakhouse will be one of its restaurant choices.
Saratoga Casino and Raceway announced
that a Morton’s The Steakhouse will operate the
feature restaurant inside the casino’s $40 million
hotel expansion.
Both the hotel and Morton’s The Steakhouse
are on track to open for the summer of 2016,
casino officials said.
Morton’s The Steakhouse opened its first
restaurant in 1978. Its menu features USDA
prime-aged beef, fresh seafood and hand-picked
produce.
“We are proud to be able to offer our guests
‘the best steak anywhere’ right here in Saratoga
Springs,” said Tom Wiedmayer, general manager
of Saratoga Casino and Raceway. “Morton’s The
Steakhouse shares our core goal of providing
unique and special experiences to each and every
one of our guests and we couldn’t imagine a more
perfect fit for our property or our community.”
The 6,500-square-foot restaurant will seat
160 guests, including a private dining space for
parties of up to 32. The lobby bar at Morton's
The Steakhouse will seat an additional 60 guests.
Morton's The Steakhouse at Saratoga Casino
and Raceway will be the company's only site in
the area, with the closest locations more than
150 miles away in White Plains and Boston.
Gift cards for Morton's The Steakhouse are on
sale now and can be purchased at www.mortons.com/gift-cards.
“We’re excited to join the Saratoga Casino
team. Their commitment to quality and service
makes them a perfect partner,” said Tim
Whitlock, senior vice president, chief operating
officer of Morton’s The Steakhouse. “Saratoga
Springs is one of the top travel destinations in
the country and we couldn’t be more excited to
bring Morton’s to such a special and distinctive
community.”
Officials said an additional national restaurant
partner will be named in the coming weeks.
Also announced were additional details on
room amenities and reservations. Casino officials
said standard rooms offer a distinctive,
modern interpretation of Saratoga’s storied
Victorian style décor and feature quilted
headboards and elegant hardwood furniture.
Additional amenities planned for the 13 luxury
suites range from a fireplace, 900 square feet
of space and large bay windows overlooking
the casino’s harness track. All guests will have
complementary WiFi and access to the hotel’s
pool and fitness center.
