Revel, Atlantic City

History of Revel

Revel is currently under construction

Revel first came to light in Spring 2006 when investment banking firm Morgan Stanley purchased a 20 acre plot of land on the Atlantic City boardwalk for US$74M. The property was previously partially owned by a development group and the Atlantic City Housing Authority. Rumors abounded upon the purchase that Morgan Stanley would partner with the Hard Rock management team (at the time) to build a $1B resort. Morgan Stanley announced that they would be partnering with a new company Revel Entertainment to build the as-yet-unnamed casino. In April Revel Entertainment announced that Tishman Construction would be the contractor and that architecture would be done by Arquetectonica a few weeks later.

Revel Entertainment unveiled its plans for Revel on November 7, 2007, with grand opening aggressively scheduled for 2010.

How are the rooms at Revel?

The first phase of Revel will feature one sloping tower bisected vertically by a shaft of light that will shoot towards the sky. Phase II will potentially add a second tower to the resort. Each hotel tower at Revel will feature approximately 1,900 rooms.
