REVEL BEACH, Atlantic City, NJ (January 25, 2012) – The refined flavors of the Italian and French Riviera will arrive on shore at Revel this spring with a new culinary creation from critically acclaimed chef Alain Allegretti.  Azure by Allegretti brings together the flavors of Chef Allegretti’s culinary experiences in the kitchen with his Italian grandmother, the Michelin-starred restaurants of Jacques Maximin and Alain Ducasse, as well as his own restaurant in New York City, La Promenade des Anglais.  Chef Allegretti’s restaurant will be a cornerstone of fine dining at Revel, the 6.3-million-square-foot beachfront resort opening in Atlantic City.

As a complete entertainment destination, Revel will encompass more than a dozen other restaurants, two nightclubs, a private beach club, more than 1,800 guest rooms, retail shops, a 31,000-square-foot spa, two theaters that seat 5,500 and 700 guests respectively and a 150,000-square-foot casino.  Opening later this year, Revel will bring a true resort option to the Northeast, enhanced by entertainment and lifestyle offerings designed by top performers in daylife, nightlife, theatrical, spa, and experiential programming.

Azure by Allegretti captures the sun-kissed glamour of the Italian and French Riviera, raising the seaside dining experience in the region to a new level.  A native of Nice, Chef Allegretti pairs the flavors of his Italian heritage with his own French culinary pedigree to create a modern take on Riviera classics.  Features of Allegretti’s menu will include handmade pastas, Mediterranean whole fish, a raw bar, and composed dishes from the land and sea, accompanied by a renowned wine list.

Revel will bring together partners with a strong entrepreneurial spirit and tremendous talent to create culinary and lifestyle experiences.  Revel is proud to be the location of Chef Allegretti’s latest vision, which aligns with Revel’s core mission to elevate the resort experience.  Each culinary partner at Revel has a vested interest in the resort and brings signature flair from their regional restaurants in Philadelphia, New York and Washington, D.C.

The ocean view restaurant space of Azure by Allegretti will be accented by Christian Lacroix curtains and vibrant azure blue tiled floors, evocative of its coastal inspiration.  Diners can enjoy a peek behind the scenes with an open exhibition kitchen or retreat to a sunset-inspired private dining room for a cozier experience.

“Revel is such an inspiring addition to Atlantic City,” said executive chef Alain Allegretti. “I am excited to bring some of my favorite flavors from the Riviera and present them with a fresh take in this dramatic oceanfront setting. Azure is poised to provide a backdrop for a romantic date, a celebratory dinner or a fun night out with friends.”

Allegretti has helmed legendary restaurants in both France and New York City including the New York Ritz-Carlton Atelier, Michelin star rated Restaurant Le Chantecler in Nice, Chez Chapel in Mionnay, and Restaurant Le Louis XV in Monte Carlo.  Allegretti arrived on the New York restaurant scene in 2001 as Co-Executive Chef at Le Cirque 2000.  He opened his now shuttered eponymous restaurant Allegretti in 2008 to high praise and most recently in Fall 2011 Allegretti opened La Promenade des Anglais, a relaxed neighborhood restaurant in Chelsea that received a glowing two-star review from the New York Times.

(Atlantic City, NJ) January 23, 2012 – From new hotel rooms to a new 1920’s theme to provocative advertising campaigns and one-of a kind entertainment, the all new Resorts Casino Hotel was named the “Casino of the Year” by Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com out of all New Jersey and Pennsylvania casinos.

Reporter Chuck Darrow said in his article, “Co-owner-CEO Dennis Gomes and his small band of sleep-deprived execs achieved the most important victory of all: Making the oldest legal gambling den outside Nevada relevant again through a seemingly non-stop barrage of marketing and entertainment initiatives.”

“2011 was a world-wind of a year,” said Dennis C. Gomes, owner, president and C.E.O. of Resorts Casino. “We came into Resorts with the goal of turning around a property that was in decline for a long time and our initiatives were designed to generate a new customer base and offer new amenities for Resorts loyal guests. The entire Resorts team came together in a way I have never quite experienced in this industry and although we still have a way to go, I couldn’t be prouder of our accomplishments. To be chosen as the Casino of the Year over properties like Sands Bethlehem, who was the runner-up and made large capital investments, is really an honor.”

In a short 12-month span, Dennis C. Gomes and his world-class team of executives have orchestrated a number of firsts, not only for Atlantic City but the world, creating a new atmosphere and culture at the all new Resorts Casino Hotel, a few of the 2011 highlights include:

• Creating a new 1920’s theme that builds on both the rich history of Atlantic City and Resorts Casino Hotel
• Opening The Whiskey Bar, Atlantic City’s first whiskey bar
• Creation of marketing campaigns such as the Moonshine Follies that have created significant buzz throughout the industry
• Introducing Atlantic City to Cirque Risque – The Naked Circus, a first for Atlantic City entertainment, paving the way for more adult-centered venues and Los Vivancos, a world-renowned extreme flamenco fusion show
• Bringing David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce on stage for only the second time ever since their show, and a first for Atlantic City
• Remodeling all of the hotel rooms in the Ocean Tower
• Creating a new player’s club, the Star Card Club for loyal guests
• Opening Night Fever Dance Club – the hottest 70’s & 80’s experience in AC, an initiative that will carry into 2012
• Opened the world’s only gay casino nightclub, Pro Bar
• As the only local owner of a casino, Gomes and his team have been able to create an employee culture that has changed the face of customer service in Atlantic City.

In 2011 we were also awarded with a number of honors, including Pro Bar being voted the number one gay bar outside of Philadelphia and one of two favorite Atlantic City hotels by Philly Gay News, Cirque Polynesian and Cirque Risque shows were called the “best and boldest” by the New York Daily News and the Loosest $100 Slots by Casino Player Magazine.

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (January 20, 2012) – Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City announced that at 3:45 a.m. on Thursday, January 19, its Total Bad Beat Jackpot of $307,482 hit at Caesars Atlantic City, marking 20 Total Bad Beat Jackpots, averaging more than one each month since its debut in August 2010. Nearly $5 million in cash has been reaped by the well-known “Bad Beat” of the poker world, arguably one of the most exciting jackpots in gaming today.

On Tuesday, August 24, 2010, Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City introduced the City’s first-ever multi-casino Texas Hold’em Poker Room Bad Beat Jackpot initiative, and a starting jackpot of $524,045.  Poker Room Bad Beat Jackpots at Harrah’s Resort, Caesars, Bally’s and Showboat now reflect one “Pooled” jackpot up for grabs.  The bad beat jackpot is a prize that is paid when a sufficiently strong hand is shown down and loses to an even stronger hand held by another player. The Bad beat jackpot is progressive, with $1.00 taken out of each pot to fund the jackpot (in addition to the regular rake). When a jackpot is won, it will be split among all players sitting at a Bad Beat eligible table and in all of the Harrah’s Total Reward Poker rooms in Atlantic City at the time of the bad beat with the losing hand getting the largest share.

“The Bad Beat Poker Jackpot hitting for the twentieth time is truly a milestone in our storied poker history,” said Don Marrandino, Eastern Division President for Caesars Entertainment.    “As the East Coast home of the WSOP and first to debut a accumulative Bad Beat Jackpot, I can honestly say poker is something we here at Caesars Entertainment Atlantic City take very seriously. We’re extremely proud to have given out more than $5 million over the last 16 months to our dedicated poker players,” continued Marrandino.

In addition to the 25 Caesars poker room players, 117 fellow poker players at Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s and Showboat each received a payout of $1,068 as part of the pooled jackpot.

The player who thought he had the winning hand laid out his quad fours, only to experience a bad beat when the other player flashed a quad eights and the win.  The losing hand earned $93,313 while the player who had the winning hand added $62,565 to his wallet.  The Total Bad Beat Jackpot was immediately reset to $100,000, with a qualifying hand of quad queens.

Payouts of the Total Bad Beat Jackpot are as follows:
·         30% of the jackpot will be awarded to the Bad Beat hand (losing player);
·         20% of the jackpot will be awarded to the winner of the hand;
·         The remainder of the jackpot will be awarded equally divided as shares among all of the seated players on any Bad Beat jackpot eligible game at all four (4) linked properties. The players mentioned above will also get a share in addition to the prize listed. All winners will receive a minimum of $100.00.
