Casino planned at reopened Revel
Revel owner Glen Straub is planning to reopen the shuttered resort with a casino, although a smaller one than what was there before.
The Florida developer said he has made up his mind to offer casino gambling at the resort, ending a long period of uncertainty about its future.
Straub said he is moving forward first with plans for a water park at the resort which could start construction in late May. Hotel rooms could be open by June, although he did not give a timetable on when a casino might reopen.
His application for a state casino license is not yet complete, and it appears unlikely a casino could open at Revel this summer.
Straub said he plans to hire an operator to run the casino.
