Luxor’s Ocean Casino Resort has revealed its latest partnership with aviation company BLADE, offering air travel from New York City to Ocean’s rooftop helipad in Atlantic City.
Ocean Casino Resort will fly guests on a six-passenger helicopter starting May 25 with flights every Saturday in July and August, wrapping up on Sept. 7.
“We are pleased to be partnering with BLADE to launch Ocean’s customer-facing, by-the-seat helicopter service throughout the summer,” said Bill Callahan, Ocean Casino Resort general manager. “Our customers have enjoyed privately chartered trips since we built our helipad last year, however adding a scheduled best-in-class travel experience provides yet another fantastic amenity to our award-winning beachfront resort.”
The trips will set off from the BLADE Lounge West terminal on West 30th Street in Manhattan and will take 40 minutes to arrive at the helipad at Ocean Casino. Upon arrival, guests will be treated to dedicated concierge service, and if they have booked a room, they will receive a complimentary upgrade.
“This is a natural extension for BLADE to complement its Hamptons and airport routes,” said Roisin Branch, BLADE’s chief marketing officer. “We have seen a meaningful increase in charter requests from Manhattan to Atlantic City recently and we are excited to make the flights more accessible to a broader audience over the summer.”
Ocean has also partnered with Moёt & Chandon for the experience. Each passenger will get an exclusive champagne tumbler, while every BLADE x Ocean hotel package will include a chilled bottle of Moёt Imperial champagne. Flights and packages are available to book now via the BLADE website.
Two restaurants are set to open at Ocean Casino Resort this summer, including the Pearl & Mary oyster bar and Samuel’s, which will offer freshly baked bread, pastries and sandwiches.
