Showboat

Unless a buyer comes forward in the final hours, two casino hotels in Atlantic City will shut down this holiday weekend, and local leaders continue to move full steam ahead with transforming the city's reputation into more than just a place to gamble.

There's a small glimmer of hope for the thousands of soon-to-be out-of-work employees at Showboat -- Caesars is showing the casino to an "interested party."

As Revel, the newest and largest casino in Atlantic City prepares to close its doors in the next month, along with Trump Plaza and Showboat, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is moving forward with plans to host an Atlantic City summit meeting early in September.

A New Jersey lawmaker wants to ask voters if they'd like to amend the state constitution to allow slot machines at the state's four racetracks - an effort that could help fund the state pension system.

Earlier this week, Revel announced it would be closing its doors by September 10th. We now know exactly when Revel will close and it's before that date.

Atlantic City's casinos took in 11 percent less from gamblers in July than they did a year ago.

Atlantic City's marketing arm is responding to a wave of casino closings with a new ad highlighting the many other things there are to do in the city.

Atlantic City casinos will start dropping like flies at the end of this month, but the closures appear to be necessary right now for a market that has dwindled by billions of dollars over the past several years.

Revel Casino Hotel says it will shut down in September after failing to find a buyer in bankruptcy court.

State casino regulators say they can't force the owners of two casinos to stay open another four months while new buyers are sought.
