NEW YORK — Hard Rock will open its Atlantic City casino resort on June 28.


Jim Allen, the global entertainment and hospitality company's CEO, made the announcement Wednesday at Hard Rock's Times Square restaurant.

The former Trump Taj Mahal casino is being rebranded as a Hard Rock property. Guests will drive past a massive electric guitar at its entrance, and will even be given their own electric guitars to play in their hotel rooms.

"This is an entertainment facility, not just a casino," Allen said. "It's not about, 'Come in, hit a buffet, play $50 on slot machines and then go home.' That's not what we're about."

The casino announced it will put 60 concerts on sale Friday, and committed to presenting 300 nights of live music in its first year.


It is one of two shuttered Atlantic City casinos due to reopen this summer, along with the former Revel casino, newly named the Ocean Resort Casino.

[FONT=&quot]ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (KYW Newsradio) — Atlantic City’s nine casinos are taking in revenue at a pace that would bring them back to performance levels not seen in years. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Roger Gros at Global Gaming Business Magazine is not surprised total revenues are at $2.5 billion, with some of the nine casinos projecting a year-end total on either side of $3 billion. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The last time that happened was in 2012, when there were a dozen casinos and concepts like online gambling or sports books were unheard of in New Jersey. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]<iframe src="https://omny.fm/shows/kywam-on-demand/atlantic-city-gambling-revenues-expected-to-hit-ne/embed?style=artwork" width="100%" height="180" frameborder="no" style="box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%;"></iframe>Predictions were dire last year when Hard Rock Hotel Casino and Ocean Casino Resort were added to the seven casinos that lasted through the latest down cycle. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“They each had something very unique and they’ve actually expanded the market a bit,” Gros said. “Now that’s not to say the other casinos haven’t been hurt.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And there are other concerns, topped by the pending acquisition of the Caesars properties by Eldorado, based in Vegas.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Eldorado’s a smaller company,” Gros added. “They may be looking to close one casino, and we’ll see which one it is. I suspect it would be Bally’s.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The ongoing real estate tax issue for businesses and Atlantic City residents alike poses another problem. In fact, casinos have taken to making PILOT payments — payments in lieu of taxes — to keep their bills down.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]As for this year, revenues are 15% higher than they were just one year ago. Gros credits several things for the improvement, including the arrival of online gambling and better marketing overall. The diversification of the marketplace is also a factor, including a greater emphasis on anything but casinos, like improved entertainment, dining and shopping options, as well as more convention space in town.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Gros expects great things next summer, too, assuming the winter’s not too bad.[/FONT]
