The two-year-old brand has other properties in Philadelphia, Nashville, and Miami. Last week, the casino announced that they entered a franchise agreement with Hyatt for what’s known as The Unbound Collection. But Straub ran into a litany of problems centered around the casino’s outstanding bills and licensing issues, eventually deciding instead to sell the property to Colorado-based developer Bruce Deifik earlier this year for $200 million.ĭeifik, through the company AC Ocean Walk, plans to open the 1,399-room casino this summer as the Ocean Resort Casino, and a world-renowned hotel group has just come aboard the endeavor. Polo North’s owner, Glenn Straub, had pledged to reopen the shuttered property as the re-branded TEN sometime last year. Completed in 2012 at the cost of $2.4 billion, the resort-style casino went through two bankruptcies before closing and was sold in court to Polo North Country Club in 2015 for just $82 million. One of the most high-profile closures was the Revel, a two-acre property at 500 Boardwalk that’s the city’s tallest building and was its northernmost casino. Four casinos closed down in 2014 amid declining revenues, but signs of a rebirth have begun to show up around America’s Playground.
