Proposed Hard Rock "Boutique" Casino
Hard Rock International and Och-Ziff Capital Management Group of New York have proposed plans for a 208-room, first phase, “boutique” casino hotel to be built on the tract of land located at Albany Avenue and the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. The $465 million, 54,800 square-foot gaming hall proposal includes a rock ‘n’ roll museum and a 7,185 square-foot spa. It would be the first casino in Atlantic City with less than the previous minimum of 500 guest rooms.
