Developer Glenn Straub has said he plans to reopen the shuttered Revel resort in Atlantic City, US, with a casino, although a smaller one than what was there before.
Straub, who owns the site, told The Associated Press he has made up his mind to offer casino gambling at the resort, ending a long period of uncertainty about its future.
“We'll have a casino that's about 50 per cent of what was there," he said. He gave no timetable for the opening of a casino, which he indicated would come after other plans that are already under way for the resort.
Straub said he is moving forward first with plans for a water park at the resort, which could start construction in late May. Hotel rooms could be open by June, he said.
