It wasn’t until 1983 when the resort finally rebranded, adding Caesars to its name to become “Caesars Boardwalk Regency”. The resort initially opened as the Boardwalk Regency in 1977, lacking the Caesars name as the result of an ongoing investigation by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission. Caesars extensively renovated the original structure, expanding the room count by around 150 and adding a 52,000 square foot casino at a cost of over 300 million US dollars. Like most of the large hotel and casino resorts in Atlantic City, Caesars stands on a parcel of land previously occupied by an earlier hotel, which in this case was the Howard Johnson’s Regency Motor Hotel. The entire resort has been comprehensively renovated over the past ten years, whilst recent expansions have included the construction of additional shopping facilities and amenities such as the Playground shopping mall, Dusk nightclub, and several new restaurants including the Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill. The complex comprises four luxury hotel towers, a casino, and a spa resort. Like it’s twin resort in Las Vegas, Ceasars Atlantic City is revered for its opulence and authentic Roman Empire theme.
