Plans For Atlantic City Casino Revealed By Pinnacle Entertainment

Atlantic City used to be considered the Las Vegas of the East. Those days have long been gone, but that has not stopped the city from starting to renovate themselves and their casinos.

One of the renovation projects was the former Sands Casino Hotel. The casino was knocked down, and the land belongs to Pinnacle Entertainment. The company had planned to build a new casino on the land.

Those plans seemed almost doomed recently when tough economic times made the reality bleak for a new casino. The company was pondering not even building the casino, but now that has changed.

The company has announced that it is continuing with its plans to build a new casino resort. They most likely will still wait until the economy stabilizes before they begin the project, but it is in the final phases of planning.

The design work is just about finished for the new project, according to Pinnacle Chairman Dan Lee. The casino will have a beach theme when it finally is built.

"We have a beach here, and that's something that distinguishes us from our competitors. We think it's a great distinguishing factor for us," said Pauline Yoshishasihi, Pinnacle spokeswoman.
