The History of Atlantic Club
The original establishment, golden nugget, was the sixth casino in Atlantic City after gambling was legalized in 1976. There were 506 hotel rooms which made it the second smallest establishment in the city but by 1983 it was the highest earning casino in Atlantic City and the 500 seater Opera House features acts like Frank Sinatra; Dean Martin; Dolly Parton and Sammy Davis Jr.
In 1987 Bally’s Entertainment took over ownership and renamed it Bally’s Grand Hotel and Casino. Hilton Hotels took over Bally’s entertainment which led to the name being changed to Atlantic City Hilton. Hilton hotels then partnered with Colony Capital in 2000 but by 2011 the partnership ended and Hilton was dropped from the name.
The place became temporarily known as ACH Casino Resort until 2012 when the establishment was rebranded with its final name, The Atlantic City Casino Hotel.
Closing of Atlantic Club Casino Hotel
The number of guests and players to visit Atlantic City dwindled and the growing competition in other establishments and even other states saw the demise of finances for The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel. In 2012 there were talks that the parent company of Pokerstars, the online poker site, were interested in purchasing the establishment but failure to obtain a temporary gaming license resulted in the termination of the purchase agreement.
Resorts International Holdings which was owned by Colony Capital filed for bankruptcy on the 6th of November 2013. A bankruptcy sale was approved and the establishment was then sold off to both Caesars Entertainment Corporation and Tropicana Entertainment at a combined cost of $23.4 million. Caesars Entertainment acquired the property and all of the non-gaming assets while Tropicana Entertainment acquired all of the archived data of the players and all of the gaming equipment.
There are now plans to re-develop the property of The Atlantic City Casino Hotel into becoming a non-gaming establishment.
