Revel - The Real Deal :

Revel is open. Even with incredibly gorgeous public spaces, sexy casino floor, aggressive casino comps and uber plush hotel rooms, Revel has yet to find its audience, leaving the hotel feeling a little empty. Time cures all ills, either by the word getting out that Revel is open and eager to serve guests or the unmentionable opposite... we're pulling for the previous, we loved the place!

Location of Revel:

Revel is located on the north east end of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, right next to the Showboat Hotel and Casino.

Revel History

Revel is scheduled to open on May 15, 2012. Revel's history began in 2006 when investment banking firm Morgan Stanley purchased a 20 acre plot of land on the Atlantic City boardwalk for US$74M. The property was previously partially owned by a development group and the Atlantic City Housing Authority. Rumors abounded upon the purchase that Morgan Stanley would partner with the Hard Rock management team (at the time) to build a $1B resort. Morgan Stanley announced that they would be partnering with a new company Revel Entertainment to build the as-yet-unnamed casino. In April Revel Entertainment announced that Tishman Construction would be the contractor and that architecture would be done by Arquetectonica a few weeks later.

Revel Entertainment unveiled its plans for Revel on November 7, 2007, with grand opening aggressively scheduled for 2010. With the economic collapse of 2008 and the following recession, Revel's construction was halted as Morgan Stanley flew the coop. Construction commenced again in 2010 with a target opening in early 2012. Revel soft opened on May 15, 2012, followed by an official grand opening on Memorial Day.

Revel Tips

Revel features tons of night life... Ivan Kane's Royal Jelly Burlesque Nightclub features half naked chicks dancing on the top of bar right off the casino floor. If you've got a hankering for some fist pumping oontz oontz oontz, The Social and HQ nightclub will send you throbbing into the stratosphere with ample beats and a bounty of booze.
