The AC Press is reporting that Polo North has reached a two week agreement with ACR to supply power while they work out a long term deal. The Polo North should be powered up by Friday.


I guess I should have known better but believe it or not there was a snag and now the building won't be powered up until sometime next week. It's looking less likely they'll have this open by the beginning of the summer.

This one should not have been a surprise to him if he had decent lawyers. Anyone involved in casino ownership has to be licensed so they should have started this process a long time ago.

It might not have been a surprise but with his delusions of grandeur he also probably thought those rules didn't apply to him.

"A gaming enforcement spokeswoman said recently that Straub had filed some of the materials needed to be considered for a license, but that his application was not yet complete. "

Could this be the missing document?

There is no way you can hire and staff a property in 30 days anyway. It takes months to hire and train people to do a job. The paperwork alone takes weeks to process. This isn't an arcade game on the Boardwalk. Think about all the engineering and maintenance you have to do to get the property up and running again. No one has even been granted a casino license. Who would would operate the casino if he chooses to open part of it on a limited scale.

The power cost is not the problem. It's the 20 year guaranteed interest on the municipal bonds used to build it. That deal survived the first bankruptcy but it's been the major reason for Revel's failure since the beginning.

This is a big deal. The dangers of financing what should be private enterprises with public funds. WTF does another casino on the boardwalk contribute to public good? Shameful...
