Atlantic City
***
Revel's hotel tower,
is the tallest structure in Atlantic City and the second tallest in the
state of New Jersey at 47 stories (710 ft)216 m (709 ft).
The tower is also the second tallest casino tower in the United States.
Revel will house 12 restaurants, 6 pools, 3 theaters, 2 night clubs, 44
retail shops and a 5,800 seat arena. Along with height records, the
construction process is the largest one in Atlantic City since the
construction of the Borgata.
The project is being built by Tishman Construction Company of New
Jersey. Revel has also selected design firms to aid in the
conceptualization and implementation of its casino complex. Scéno Plus,
a Montreal-based design firm, collaborates with other professionals to
design core entertainment spaces as well as 150,000 feet of casino.
In the summer of 2008 the project was officially scaled back to include
just one hotel tower with 1,900 rooms due to lack of financing. In late
January 2011, Revel C.E.O. Kevin DeSanctis while pitching yet another
funding plan on Wall Street, announced that the property would only
complete 1,090 rooms in the opening phase, in addition other aspects of
the project were to be scaled back to meet the available funding. Source: Wikipedia
