Showboat In Atlantic City To Re-Open Without GamblingProperty To Have Hotel, Non-Gaming Amenities |
|
Atlantic City’s Showboat is slated to re-open sometime next month, but it won’t have a casino, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Showboat, which was closed by Caesars Entertainment in August 2014, was sold to Philadelphia businessman Bart Blatstein. The former casino-hotel will now just be a hotel, equipped with a number of new amenities that haven’t been announced yet.
Blatsein acquired the property for just $23 million from Stockton University, which bought it for $18 million from Caesars. There was a plan to turn the property into a satellite campus but that idea was abandoned thanks to legal issues.
Showboat was once home to a poker room of two dozen tables. The Mardi Gras-themed property first opened nearly 30 years ago.
