The businessman announced plans to reopen Revel as a hotel and casino complex but failed to meet several self-imposed opening dates.įirst reports that the property could be sold emerged last summer.
The property was purchased by Florida real estate developer Glenn Straub in the spring of 2015 for a fraction of its original price. The former Revel originally launched in 2012, but closed doors just after two years of operation failing to justify its $2-plus-billion investment. Resort officials neither denied, nor confirmed the reported opening date.Ītlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam and City Council President Marty Small both told The Press of Atlantic City that they were not informed about an opening date for the shuttered property. The signed contracts show that incoming employees will start work on June 11 and that the resort is set to open doors for visitors and guests on June 28. The Press of Atlantic City wrote that it has been contacted by people who have signed employment agreements with the new owners of Ocean Resort Casino. The date is the same one Hard Rock International has selected to reopen the former Trump Taj Mahal casino resort as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City on. Ocean Resort Casino, formerly Revel, might be targeting a June 28 opening, local news outlet The Press of Atlantic City reported on Wednesday citing unnamed sources.
