Atlantic City’s Showboat is reopening — but without a casino
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The shuttered Showboat casino hotel will reopen next month — this time as a non-gambling hotel, a developer said today.
Philadelphia developer Bart Blatstein said 852 of the complex's 1,300 rooms will be open to the public in July. The hotel will still be called the Showboat.
"I'm extremely bullish on Atlantic City," Blatstein said. "I've never seen a better opportunity."
Blatstein has been buying non-gambling attractions in Atlantic City, which is desperately trying to reinvent itself as a diversified resort that is far less dependent on gambling.
