REVEL: Atlantic City, NJ – A New Empire Rises at the Boardwalk
12 Jul 2012 by Francisco Romeo in Escape, Home, Hot Spots, Hotels, Hotels, Pleasure, USA
At the tip of the Atlantic City boardwalk a new resort has risen to dwarf the competition. REVEL stands out as the boardwalk’s tallest structure, and the best new resort on the East Coast.
Revel embraces the beauty of the ocean and an iconic boardwalk that has inspired numerous films and a hit television series to make for a grandiose setting. Add 6.3 million square feet of space situated on 20 acres and everything you need is here.

The 10 indoor and outdoor pools, rooftop gardens, lounges, and a 32,000-square-foot spa will provide unrivaled relaxation.
The 14 restaurant concepts from award-wining chefs and restaurateurs, the 5,500 seat theater with top acts, the nightclubs, the oceanfront day club, a lively casino and a collection of boutiques will keep you entertained for days. And the comfortable suites with all essential amenities will ensure an exceptional stay.

Architecturally, the glass hotel tower soars 47 stories above the beachfront to give each of the 1,800 rooms a sweeping ocean view; while the base of the building is sculpted with the feeling of moving waves.

As you take the escalator to the lobby you’ll encounter plenty of open spaces, conducive to friendly get-togethers, especially the Sky Garden which sits 114 feet above sea level and gives you an unobstructed view of Atlantic City. There is also a spectacular In Out pool that goes from an inside lobby to an outdoor deck, allowing you to swim in either side. Even if gambling is not your primary concern, at Revel you’ll feel inspired.
Here the Casino is visually pleasing and feels more like a theater, without the constantly ringing noises and bright lights. And you can still enjoy great views. Gone is the notion that you should not see outside while you gamble.

The $2.4 billion property is the vision of excop Kevin DeSanctis who has taken a lifelong journey working alongside Donald Trump, Steve Wynn and Sol Kerstner to join their ranks and create the ultimate East Coast playground.

Revel officially opened Memorial Day weekend with a return to the stage performance from Beyoncé that attracted even the First Lady of the United States.
