A Last Look at Atlantic City’s Failed $2.4 Billion (Yes, Billion) Revel Casino
Revel, the sleek, stylish $2.4 billion beachfront resort that opened in April 2012, will close its doors at 11am ET on Monday, Sept 1. Revel, the fourth Atlantic City, NJ casino to shut down this year, has been plagued by financial problems from the start: construction was delayed in January 2009 because of lack of funds and Revel has filed for bankruptcy twice since opening.
Revel was seen as the answer to Atlantic City's gambling woes; industry insiders, state politicans and locals believed Revel would attract the crowds that have slowly been leaving AC for gambling venues in New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Its modern design, open spaces and Vegas-like entertainment drew people to the resort, but Revel failed when it came to AC's bread and butter: gambling.
There's several other pics here,
