On episode 95 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz Podcast, Kyle and Craig discuss the news, then get into hypotheticals. It’s been a little over two years since Hard Rock International announced that it had purchased the Taj Mahal, and almost 9 months since the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino opened after pumping $500 million into the property. Given what we know now, would Hard Rock have been better off buying Revel (now Ocean)?
News:
- Gamblepalooza is coming April 13-14; the Third Annual Everything AC Casinos Meet has been scheduled for August 17.
- Greyhound is scrapping open returns in favor of scheduled, reserved seats on all trips to and from Atlantic City, starting April 1.
- Showboat owner Bart Blatstein has begun the process to get a gambling license and wants to build a casino next to Showboat.
