There’s new buzz about the Jersey Shore, and luckily it has nothing to do with reality TV. The talk is about Atlantic City’s recently debuted Revel, a new $2.4 billion, 20-acre resort situated on the Atlantic City Boardwalk.
Revel ups the ante in Atlantic City, betting on a new type of tourist not geared towards gambling. While the resort does sport a casino (designed by the Montreal firm responsible for Cirque de Soleil’s sets), add to that swank lounges, Vegas-style nightclubs, indoor and outdoor pools, live entertainment, trendy boutiques, and a 32,000-square-foot spa complete with hammam and salt rooms.
