ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — The owner of Atlantic City’s Ocean Resort Casinos promises to “surprise the world” when the former Revel casino reopens next week.
Bruce Deifik (DIE’-fick) says his team has fixed what customers didn’t like about Revel.
In testimony Wednesday before the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, Deifik said he has $40 million in cash on hand to operate the business.
He says comedian and actor Jamie Foxx will be a host for the property’s first weekend.
The commission is hearing Ocean Resort’s request for a casino license, but does not expect to vote on the request until Thursday.
Revel shut down in September 2014. Deifik bought it in January for $200 million.
Both Ocean Resort and the Hard Rock will open their doors on June 28.
