Resorts Casino Hotel Offers All-Inclusive Meeting Package
June 16, 2015
Resorts Casino Hotel, the first casino to open in Atlantic City, is offering an all-inclusive package for group meetings. Resorts’ customized group packages include upgraded guest rooms (the largest in Atlantic City), morning and afternoon coffee breaks, Wi-Fi in meeting rooms and guest rooms, audio-visual, parking, all taxes, gratuities, resort fees and meeting room rental, as well as three meals per day in a variety of dining venues throughout the hotel.
“Resorts’ all-inclusive package makes the meeting planner’s job much easier. One price per person keeps the expenses within a budget and at the same time, provides tremendous value for their investment,” said Mark Giannantonio, president and CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel.
For example, with all meals included in the all-inclusive meeting package at Resorts, groups may opt to have breakfast overlooking the ocean in Capriccio, an award-winning gourmet restaurant. Later that evening they may walk out to the beachfront to participate in a themed private function at Atlantic City’s only year-round, on-the-beach restaurant, Landshark Bar & Grill, part of Resorts’ new $35-million Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville Entertainment Complex. Another option for gourmet dinner is Gallagher’s Steak House, originators of the New York Strip.
The 942-room property boasts 64,000 sf of meeting space, encompassing 27 meeting rooms (14 with natural light and ocean views), four ballrooms and a multipurpose showroom providing easy access and customer convenience for conventions and trade shows. Other amenities include nine dining options, including gourmet restaurants, an 80,000-sf casino, two theaters, two VIP slot and table player lounges, a casino bar, indoor-outdoor swimming pool, health club and spa, salon and retail shops, as well as Atlantic City’s oceanfront boardwalk and the beach.
Resorts has embarked on a long-term property reinvestment plan that brought Margaritaville, a variety of quick-serve options in the casino-based Quick Bites food court, and nearly $70 million of expansion and renovation, including new bathrooms in the oceanfront tower accommodations. A recent multimillion-dollar expansion of its convention space added 12,000 sf of event space, including 11 new conference rooms.
“Resorts Casino Hotel is adapting to the market conditions by investing in new conference space and capitalizing on the variety of food and beverage choices we offer our guests. It is all part of our commitment to transform Atlantic City into a more vibrant, profitable destination with offerings beyond casino gambling,” said Giannantonio. “We’ve already seen success in our meetings and convention business, with bookings up nearly 25 percent over the past two years. We’re thrilled to leverage that success and build upon it with this expansion.”
