There are also plans to bring back some of the restaurants that closed and create new venues, including a top Asian noodle bar and a high end players club. It will have 138,000 square feet of gaming space, including 100 table games and 2,200 slot machines. When fully operational, the revamped property with 1,399 rooms is on 20 acres along the Atlantic City Boardwalk and will provide between 2,500 to 3,000 jobs to Atlantic City, AC Ocean Walk said. 'However, given the extraordinary quality and investment made during its development, the new 'Ocean' will represent one of the finest hotel, casino properties in existence today in an improving market that has demonstrated strength and resilience.'
'The former Revel property opened at a time when Atlantic City was still in economic recovery and operationally it just did not cater to the customer base for this destination,' said Bruce Deifik, chairman of AC Ocean Walk, in prepared remarks.
