square feet at the Atlantic City Convention Center. And there is continued investment and growth in the area.”
For example, Musich said, Caesars Entertainment is planning the addition of a huge meeting and convention facility to its Harrah’s Atlantic City property, which will have an estimated 100,000-square feet of net meeting and exhibit space. Another example is Resorts Casino Hotel, which has entered into a partnership with Margaritaville on a major expansion proj- ect. Add to that Revel having just opened in the spring of 2012, and Atlantic City just keeps getting better and better.
“There’s a reason that investment is com- ing back to Atlantic City,” said Musich. “Meeting and convention planners owe it to themselves to compare what we have to offer to other destinations in the Northeastern U.S. We are serious about showing them what our convention cen- ter, resort hotels, and destination as a whole has to offer. We will definitely make it worth their while to book here.”
Atlantic City’s meeting and convention markets have continued to grow over the past few years. “Our destination is becoming a bigger and even better mar- ket for this business. In addition to our hotels and convention space, we have some really great non-traditional event spaces, too,” observed Musich. “For example, The Pool at Harrah’s, One Atlantic above the Pier Shops at Caesars, and House of Blues at Showboat. Taj Mahal just opened Roberts Steakhouse of New York, which is available for hosting group dining events. Every property has something cool to offer.”
WHAT’S NEW
A proposed Harrah’s convention facility by Caesar’s Entertainment took a giant step toward broadening the city’s appeal to the larger corporate meeting and special event market this past November when the gaming company received approval from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) for $45 million in financing for a planned 200,000- square foot convention venue at Harrah’s Atlantic City.
