Atlantic City casinos endure storm mostly unharmed

    Atlantic City’s 12 waterfront casinos came through the superstorm largely unharmed.

    Nine of the casinos are on the Boardwalk, facing the ocean; three others are in the Marina district by the Inlet and bay.

    Most are reporting only minor damage like some small water leaks or a handful of broken windows.

    The casinos will confer with state regulators later Tuesday about a reopening date. All are eager to reopen, but acknowledge it still could be tricky getting employees and customers to come while still dealing with damage in their own communities.
