A recovering regional economy? A new state focus on transforming the city? An HBO series bringing renewed national focus on the nation’s original gaming capital?
Whatever the reason, Save Jerseyans, Nucky himself would certainly find this latest Atlantic City news heartwarming.
From njbiz.com:
Hotel room occupancy and visiting delegate totals through October were up 121 percent and 693 percent, respectively, from the same period last year, the authority reported Thursday. The gains took place even as the number of convention and trade shows grew by a modest 3 percent.
CRDA, via the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority, also reported that delegate spending through 10 months was up 275 percent from 2010, totaling nearly $46 million so far this year.”
Let’s hope it keeps up!
