Giants Legendary Quarterback Phil Simms at Empire City Casino

Phil Simms may have coined the phrase “I’m going to Disney World” following his championship win in 1987, but the legendary quarterback is "going to Empire City Casino" for this year’s Big Game to host a viewing party, sign autographs and watch the Eagles take on the Patriots in a battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday, February 4.

The free festivities begin in the casino’s Entertainment Lounge at 6:00 p.m. on game day, where Simms will mingle with fans, participate in a Q&A session, and sign autographs before watching the Big Game and testing out his throwing arm with fans. Simms will also reflect on his career, offer his predictions and share what it takes to win the big one. Empire City Casino will display all of the championship action on LED jumbo screens to bring football fans as close to the action as possible. Seating will be first-come, first-served with beer and food specials all game long.

As an added bonus, the first 5,000 Empire Club Members to check in at the main promotions booth will receive a free football-themed beanie hat. Fans who are not yet Empire Club members can sign up for free in a matter of minutes at any promotions booth.

Empire City is Manhattan’s closest casino, a short drive from the George Washington Bridge and easily accessible via Metro North, Bus, Shuttle Bus and more (exact point-to-point directions provided here).
