As Atlantic City looks to reopen, it’s time to learn more about the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the area, as well as how casinos are upping their game and safely getting back to “business as usual.”Īs Shelley Williams, vice president of sales at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, explains, all nine casinos in Atlantic City were ordered to close in March by state and local officials due to the enormous impact COVID-19 was having on this region in particular. From months-long closures to altering the way leisure and hospitality business is conducted, COVID-19 has forever changed the way hotels, casinos and restaurants operate. The impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects on every industry, including the meetings and events industries.
Atlantic City has been closed since March, but casino executives hope to open soon to kick off a big summer season.
