Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City has unveiled a $9.4 million expansion of its convention space, adding an additional 12,000 square feet and 11 new conference rooms, and is now offering the city's first all-inclusive meeting package.
The customized group packages, which start at $199 per person, per night, include upgraded guest rooms; morning and afternoon coffee breaks; Wi-Fi in meeting rooms and guestrooms; audio-visual; parking; taxes, gratuities, resort fees and meeting room rental; and three meals per day, in a variety of dining venues throughout the hotel.
"Resorts' all-inclusive package makes the meeting planner's job much easier," says Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO, Resorts Casino Hotel. "One price per person keeps the expenses within a budget and at the same time, provides tremendous value for their investment,"
Resorts has 64,000 square feet of meeting space, encompassing 27 meeting rooms (14 with natural light and ocean views), four ballrooms, and a multi-purpose showroom. The property features the Margaritaville casino and entertainment complex, which includes the only year-round beach bar on Atlantic City sand.
"Resorts Casino Hotel is adapting to the market conditions by investing in new conference space and capitalizing on the variety of food and beverage choices we offer our guests," says Giannantonio. "It is all part of our commitment to transform Atlantic City into a more vibrant, profitable destination with offerings beyond casino gambling.
"As the only casino hotel in Atlantic City that boasts a dramatic floor to ceiling ocean view ballroom and Landshark Bar & Grill, a year-round beach event facility, we've already seen success in our meetings and convention business, with bookings up 46 percent over 2013," Giannantonio adds. "We're thrilled to leverage that success and build upon it with this expansion."
In 2012, Mohegan Gaming Advisors assumed management of Resorts Casino Hotel, a property with 942 guest rooms and suites in two hotel towers, a 80,000 square-foot casino, two theaters, six restaurants, an indoor-outdoor swimming pool, and a health club and spa, among other amenities.
