My first tipoff about the potentially grim fate of the $2.4 billion Revel Casino Hotel — which last week, under its new name Ocean Resort Casino, found yet another owner, its fifth in its brief history — really came a few years before its 2012 opening.
The project, built on a South Inlet Boardwalk site purchased by Morgan Stanley in 2006, invariably was the talk of Atlantic City at the annual East Coast Gaming Congress.
