Zona de Azar USA – Bally’s Atlantic City Makeover Nearly Complete

USA.- May 16, 2022 www.zonadeazar.com Last fall, New Jersey Casino Control Commission members approved the sale of Bally’s Atlantic City casino to the company formerly known as Twin River.

But the reassurances made to commission members that $100 million was committed to a massive upgrade bore fruit when Bally’s executives played host to a “topping off ceremony” for The Yard, an indoor/outdoor beer garden to feature live music that will be heard by passersby on the Boardwalk.

Those who are lured in will note a gastropub menu, arcade games, and other attractions at The Yard.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for The Yard is slated for May 26, just ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Phil Juliano said that the bar will be open by then, and The Yard should be fully functional by July 4 weekend — or perhaps a week before.

The revolving Carousel Bar will be ready for the holiday weekend customer, said Bally’s General Manager Mike Monty, adding that the refurbished rooms also will be open to visitors. Fireworks on the beach also will be offered on weekends, Monty added, “which has not occurred here in recent memory.”

After the ceremony, Monty told about the company’s investment, “We have that full $100 million committed, and we are well on our way to reaching that number.”

He added, “We’re growing as fast as any property on the market on a year-over-year basis. Our table games are strong, and we still have room to grow with our slots product. It will take some time for that brand resonance to occur, but we think we are on our way. The mood here is ‘born to entertain,’ which is what Bally’s used to be. There’s no reason we can’t be a premier gaming destination.”
