Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has become the latest Atlantic City resort to announce a multi-million renovation plan as the city looks to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The property said Monday that it would invest at least $20 million in capital improvements, including suite renovations, additional gambling options, a new Starbucks, a dining outlet, and a refresh of existing beachfront amenities.
Hard Rock Atlantic City opened doors in June 2018 at the site of the former Trump Taj Mahal. Its parent company, Hard Rock International, purchased the shuttered, but once glitzy, property in the spring of 2017. The gaming and hospitality operator invested more than $500 million to bring down Trump Taj Mahal’s iconic minarets and other exterior decorations and create a rock ’n’ roll-inspired destination resort.

How could I turn that down? the 39-year-old electrician asked, holding a tall vodka drink, basking in 90-degree temperatures, and soaking in the sights of street entertainers and tourists on Friday in a downtown casino pedestrian mall. I m having a blast, said his friend, cosmetologist Jade Topor. Pretty much what I expected.
Las Vegas has been almost elbow-to-elbow lately with pandemic-weary tourists looking for excitement and entertainment, after casinos rose from 35% to 50% occupancy March 15 under state health guidelines.
