Congrats on winning, but why would they be giving anything away? Whoever made the decision to continue any advertised promotions should never have a job in a casino again. What do they feel they had to gain by honoring this? No one would hold it against them. as if there actually was someone to hold it against.


Then again, what another 10K to them?

So I didn't play at all last night- ran into some fellow Revel-ers and watched them play
Ultralounge was empty - I checked in there a few times throughout the night and there was a couple playing roulette and one guy playing blackjack

I guess the problem is the running cost would be too high, regardless of using it as a casino or just as a hotel without the casino.
And you won't get enough customers either way.

The daily quote of a million/day must be hiding something I figure. If it costs that much, it costs that much but you don't hear similar stories from older less efficient buildings as far as I've heard. I just doubt the figures.

I don't have definite knowledge of their cost structure, but with the ridiculous 3 story ceiling in the casino, the other large open spaces elsewhere, and the sheer size of the place, I can believe $1M/d.
If government is the answer, it must have been a very stupid question.

I've seen that happen in roulette, for smaller
amounts. They'll grab the bet back after the
spin and say they made a mistake. I've never
seen a casino give them a hard time about
it. It's usually a min bet. I saw an 'ethinic'
guy grab his bet back and run out the door
at Binions. The dealer just shrugged and said
it happens a lot. That's when they had a table
right at the entrance.

300 mil for a casino. Divide the amount by one million of shareholders. $300 to by a first class resort. Sounds like a bargain to me. Why not issue shares, make it public.

Would one million people buy the shares?

Nothing better than a Ponzi investing in a casino. Would the stock markets even allow their stock to be sold? I'm guessing licensing would be the problem either way or there would be a lot of money interested in buying these casinos. Plus financing to run the place would be quite the &itch.

Worst hand watched:

The way I figure it $2.4 billion over 20 years at zero interest is $328,767 per day. At 7% it would be $620,666. Someone mentioned they heard $1 million/day which presumably means finance plus operating expenses.

I find it very difficult to believe that operating expenses alone makes Revel unprofitable. While the financiers are obviously going to take a bath, I can't imagine how it is more profitable to let a brand new multi billion dollar building simply rot, then to run it as a business.

It may be that Trump Plaza and Atlantic City Hotel cannot be operated and need to be razed, but not Revel.

Another rumor I heard was that the HQ Nightclub and HQ Dayclub were trying to get some sort of exemption to remain open while Revel was closed as they have a separate boardwalk entrance. Although, where would people park—there is an empty field next door there but I don't know who owns it and it is very deserted and dimly lit on the side of the building


Not a place I would venture.

I dont want to knock AC but They should pay you.

Seriously if clubs are where all the money is at nowadays, redesign the machines and incorporate some gambling. You have A DJ, a massively drunk crowd, Just pump up the gamblers with promotions. Also Incorporate EZ Cell pone gaming or something, everyone as a cell.

PS. They should be selling raffle tickets at the door. Meet the DJ and win X. Meet Spin and Win raffle

I don't think it would work. People go to the club to do club things, not to gamble. When I was there a few weeks ago I played in the Taj at the Almost Angels party pit. The only reason I went in there was because it was the only $10 black jack table that I could find.

It was basically empty and no one was paying any attention to the dancers. I actually sat at a table with a guy dealer because it was the most empty. However, the "club" area had a bunch of people dancing and drinking.

The Pinnacle corporation purchased the Sands Casino in 2006. They paid $270 million and knocked it down. They were going to build a new casino. Instead they saw the future of AC and canceled their plans. They finally sold an empty lot to Boardwalk Piers in 2013 for $30.6 million.
