latest on AC casino developments

[Eponymous]

Here are two recent articles on some of the planned casino developments in AC. The first article is about the Revel resort and casino that will be built next to the Showboat. The Revel people presented their plans last Saturday to a group of us from the Bella condo tower since they are building it right in front of us. The renderings of their buildings were very impressive. Two slender and very tall towers (they'd like to build both together, but one will probably follow the other) will be the tallest buildings in NJ, much taller than anything currently in AC. Even the non-tower building (the casino, etc.) will be 140 feet tall.

The second article is about Pinnacle's interest in developing a second casino at Bader Field (the first one will be built on the old Sands site). This is a big change in their thinking as they balked earlier at anyone building on the Bader Field site. Maybe the announcement of the $5B MGM Grand near the Borgata and Revel's plans helped convince them that AC is really about to undergo a real Renaissance, and they want to up their investment.
