Resorts Casino Hotel is named ‘Casino of the Year’ by Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com
Reporter Chuck Darrow said “Co-owner-CEO Dennis Gomes and his small band of sleep-deprived execs achieved the most important victory of all: Making the oldest legal gambling den outside Nevada relevant again through a seemingly non-stop barrage of marketing and entertainment initiatives.”
Dennis C. Gomes, the owner, president as well as the CEO of Resorts Casino Hotel said “2011 was a whirlwind of a year, we came into Resorts with the goal of turning around a property that was in decline for a long time and our initiatives were designed to generate a new customer base and offer new amenities for Resorts loyal guests. The entire Resorts team came together in a way I have never quite experienced in this industry and although we still have a way to go, I couldn’t be prouder of our accomplishments. To be chosen as the Casino of the Year over properties like Sands Bethlehem, who was the runner-up and made large capital investments, is really an honor.”
In only 12 months, Dennis C. Gomes and his team of executives have managed a number of firsts, not only for Atlantic City but in the whole world, some of the top 2011 highlights for the Resort are:
- Creating a new 1920’s theme
- Opening Atlantic City’s first whiskey bar
- Creation of some of the best marketing campaigns such that have created significant attention throughout the industry
- Introducing Atlantic City to Cirque Risque
- Bringing David Cassidy and Danny Bonaduce on stage for only the second time ever since their show
- Remodeling all of the hotel rooms in the Ocean Tower
- Creating a new player’s club
- Opening Night Fever Dance Club
- Opened the world’s only gay casino nightclub called the Pro Bar
