I really do miss that place....it was my favorite place to STAY & Eat (i.e. the Hotel and the restaurants.....NOT the CASINO) from 2009 thru 2012!

Thanks for the info Jimdeuces. It looks like there is not going to ever be a reopening or a NEW casino on the site of the old one here. Probably for the best, as I think AC is once again OVERSATURATED with Gaming supply & options with the openings of HArd Rock and Ocean this past Summer and unless the whole city can somehow attract new business or steal some from their competitors within 3-4 hours distance in surrounding states, when the economy experiences the next, INEVITABLE slow down or recession, there will eventually be at least one casualty of a closed casino among the current existiing OPEN esrablishments in AC. The Sports betting helps though, and could delay or even stave off such a casualty for a long while anyway......we'll see!


If only....IF ONLY sports betting could have been introduced back in 2011....then there NEVER would have been any closure of AC Club/Hilton, the Showboat, Trump Plaza or the Taj, and in fact the REVEL might still be in existence (probably struggling or just getting by, but alive, and not the spectacularly pathetic FAILURE it became!)
