Pinnacle misses deadline to submit Atlantic City hotel application
In a statement, New Jersey authorities said Hard Rock International was the only company to formally file an application by the deadline.
In January, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed legislation that lowered the minimum threshold for casino construction from 500 hotel rooms to 200 rooms. Smaller casinos are seen as a way to create construction jobs and bring new attractions to the gaming market.
In July, Pinnacle filed a letter of interest with New Jersey gaming regulators for one of the boutique casino licenses. This is not the first time Pinnacle has looked at Atlantic City.
In 2006, the company spent us$ 270 million to acquire the aging Sands Casino and adjacent land. The Sands was closed and imploded in 2007 and the company announced plans for a us$ 1.5 billion to us$ 2 billion Boardwalk resort.
The economy, however, tanked, and Atlantic City gaming revenues began their nosedive. Pinnacle canceled the project in late 2008. The company put its 19 acres on the market, but saw little interest from real estate speculators.
