Atlantic City, NJ – As summer approaches, Atlantic City is gearing up for a season of excitement and revitalization, as several casinos in the area have announced multi-million dollar investments in various projects aimed at enhancing the visitor experience and boosting the local economy.
The New Jersey Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) has been at the forefront of these efforts, working closely with casino operators to ensure that Atlantic City remains a top destination for tourists and locals alike.
One of the most anticipated projects set to debut this summer is the $50 million renovation of the iconic Boardwalk Hall, which will include a state-of-the-art entertainment complex featuring live music, comedy shows, and other events. The renovation is part of the CRDA’s efforts to attract more visitors to Atlantic City and create a vibrant entertainment hub that will appeal to a diverse audience.
Another major investment comes from the Ocean Casino Resort, which is set to unveil a $30 million expansion that will include new dining options, shopping outlets, and a luxury spa. The expansion is expected to create hundreds of new jobs and further solidify Ocean Casino Resort as one of the premier gaming destinations in the region.
Meanwhile, the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is planning a $20 million renovation of its hotel and entertainment facilities, including the addition of new restaurants and upgraded guest rooms. The Borgata is also expanding its gaming offerings, with new slot machines and table games scheduled to debut in time for the summer season.
Other casinos in the area, such as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Caesars Atlantic City, are also investing in renovations and upgrades to their properties, with a focus on enhancing the overall guest experience and attracting new visitors to the region.
These investments come at a crucial time for Atlantic City, which has been working to recover from the economic downturn caused by the pandemic. With tourism numbers on the rise and a renewed focus on attracting visitors to the area, the future looks bright for Atlantic City’s gaming industry.
In a statement, CRDA Executive Director Matt Doherty expressed optimism about the upcoming summer season, stating that the investments in revitalization projects will “create a renewed sense of excitement and energy in Atlantic City, setting the stage for a successful summer season and beyond.”
As Atlantic City prepares to kick off the summer of 2024 with these exciting new developments, visitors can look forward to a revitalized and dynamic gaming destination that promises unforgettable experiences and endless entertainment options.
