ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey — Resorts Casino Hotel, the first casino to open in Atlantic City and a property managed by Mohegan Gaming Advisors, has embraced the all-inclusive trend for value-conscious travelers and applied it to group meetings. Resorts’ customized group packages start at $199 per person per night and include upgraded guest rooms, the largest in Atlantic City; morning and afternoon coffee breaks; Wi-Fi in meeting rooms and guestrooms; audiovisual; parking; all taxes, gratuities and resort fees; and meeting room rental, as well as 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,” said Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel. “One price per person keeps the expenses within a budget and, at the same time, provides tremendous value for their investment.”
Group meeting planners have 64,000 square feet of meeting space encompassing 27 meeting rooms, 14 with natural light and ocean views; four ballrooms; and a multipurpose showroom that provides easy access and customer convenience for conventions and trade shows. They can choose among Resorts’ nine dining options, including gourmet restaurants for meals, while attendees appreciate the 80,000-square-foot casino, two theaters, two VIP slot and table player lounges, a casino bar, indoor-outdoor swimming pool, a health club and spa, a salon and retail shops.
Resorts has embarked on a long-term property reinvestment plan that brought Margaritaville, a variety of quick-serve options in the casino-based Quick Bites food court, and nearly $70 million of expansion and renovations, including new bathrooms in the oceanfront tower accommodations. A recent multimillion-dollar expansion of its convention space added 12,000 square feet, including 11 new conference rooms.
“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,” said Giannantonio. “It is all part of our commitment to transform Atlantic City into a more vibrant, profitable destination with offerings beyond casino gambling. We’ve already seen success in our meetings and convention business, with bookings up nearly 25 percent over the past two years. We’re thrilled to leverage that success and build upon it with this expansion.”
