What’s an ocean without a beach
One Atlantic City casino that takes its name from the sea doesn't want to find out, and so it's spending up to $700,000 of its own money to rebuild a badly eroded beach in front of it.
Callahan and several casino officials were on their daily coffee walk one day last fall when they looked out the window — and saw very little sand between the Boardwalk and the ocean.“That would be a horrible guest experience. It's like, ‘Come to an unbelievable $2.5 billion resort and not have a beach.’ We just couldn't have that,” he said.
Veteran Atlantic City casino executives said they can not recall a casino paying to widen its own beach using its own money.
