Atlantic City's casinos are betting they can finally put the COVID pandemic behind them in 2023. Some casino executives are optimistic about the new year, while others note that economic challenges are likely to remain in the New Jersey resort town.
Hard Rock plans to spend $30 million on live entertainment in the new year, Resorts is reinvesting at least $10 million in hotel and casino floor upgrades, and Golden Nugget will embark on a multimillion-dollar renovation of its hotel rooms and infrastructure.
Mike Sampson, senior vice president of operations at the Hard Rock casino, said he believes "2023 is going to be a challenging year for Atlantic City." A bill that would end smoking in the casinos has sat untouched in the state Legislature for more than a year. "We have to stabilize the industry," he said during a recent public forum. "If you eliminate smoking, we are going to have a pretty significant and immediate downturn. There is a time for eliminating smoking — I'm not sure it's right now."
