ATLANTIC CITY, NJ–Resorts Casino Hotel is trying to attract conventions and meetings with a $9.4 million multi-faceted expansion of its convention space that will add 12,000 square feet of event space, including 11 new conference rooms.
This expansion is part of the hotel's long-term property reinvestment plan, following the recent $35 million Jimmy Buffet-themed Margaritaville, the opening of a variety of quick serve options in the casino-based Quick Bites food court, and nearly $70 million of expansion and renovation, including new bathrooms in the oceanfront tower accommodations.
"Resorts Casino Hotel is adapting to the market conditions by investing in new conference space and capitalizing on the variety of food and beverage choices we offer our guests. It is all part of our commitment to transform Atlantic City into a more vibrant, profitable destination with offerings beyond casino gambling," said Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel. “We've already seen success in our meetings and convention business, with bookings up nearly 25 percent over the past two years. We're thrilled to leverage that success and build upon it with this expansion."
