Margaritaville Casino to open May 22

ClarionLedger.com,  Saturday, May 05, 2012 at 1:51:57 PM

Five o'clock somewhere will be in Biloxi on May 22 when the ribbon is cut to start the party and open Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Casino and Restaurant.

The VIP celebration gets under way at 5 p.m., and the resort opens to the public at 8 p.m. Buffett says he will be in Biloxi that day, said casino president Tom Brosig, but he's saving some surprises for the opening.

There are still plenty of finishing touches to be completed before the $62 million resort makes its debut.

Biloxi's Fifth Street, which will provide a tropical entrance to the resort, is nearly rebuilt.

Viejas Casino opens new high-stakes bingo room

Press Release,  Monday, March 26, 2012 at 7:09:58 PM

Viejas Casino reached a major milestone today, with the opening of a new high-stakes, high tech Bingo Room. Tribal elders, tribal leaders, local dignitaries, Chamber of Commerce representatives and the public all joined in the Grand Opening of the new Bingo Room. The ceremonies included a Tribal Blessing, traditional Native American Bird Songs and a ribbon cutting. The first Viejas Bingo facility opened in 1977 at the Ma Tar Awa RV Park on the Viejas Reservation. In 1994, Viejas Bingo was moved to a location inside the Viejas Casino building, and in 2000 a new structure was built on the east side of Viejas Casino to house the growing bingo operation. That structure will be demolished to make way for the new hotel at Viejas Casino, which will include over 120 rooms, a pool and Jacuzzi area, and other amenities.

New Jersey Gambling News Brief

A casino for gamblers who don't smoke

New York Times,  Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 11:30:37 AM

In efforts to rejuvenate Atlantic City, casinos and resorts have leaned on celebrity chef-run restaurants, sprawling spas and mega-nightclubs. The latest opening adds a new dimension: a smoke-free environment. Casinos are exempt from New Jersey's nonsmoking law, but when the 1,800-room Revel opens in stages starting April 2, it will be Atlantic City's only nonsmoking casino resort, intended to appeal to the 81 percent of American adults who do not smoke.

The 47-story boardwalk newcomer will house a 150,000-square-foot casino plus three pools, a rooftop garden, a burlesque stage, a 31,000-square-foot spa and restaurants run by the chefs Marc Forgione, Jose Garces and Michel Richard.

Smoking is prohibited in most outdoor spaces on the property with one exception: a small outdoor area strategically located behind the 45,000-square-foot nightclub.
