Borgata and Big Night to launch major new entertainment space in Atlantic City

Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has announced a partnership with New England–based Big Night to redevelop the former Premier Nightclub area into a new, year-round entertainment hub. The 18,000-square-foot venue is expected to open next summer and will feature a diverse lineup of live performances, special events, and immersive programming.

“Borgata has always been the East Coast’s premier entertainment destination, and partnering with Big Night allows us to bring something bold and new to Atlantic City,” said Niklas Rytterstrom, president and chief operating officer of Borgata. “Together, we’re creating a venue that will set a new standard for live experiences and offer guests unforgettable moments worth returning for.”

Premier Nightclub, which debuted in 2016 and became a hotspot for top DJs and high-profile parties, closed its doors on August 31. The forthcoming venue aims to reimagine the space with a broader focus on live entertainment and hospitality-driven experiences.

Big Night, known for its portfolio of music venues, restaurants, and experiential events across New England, will collaborate closely with Borgata on programming and operations.

“We’re thrilled to bring Big Night to Atlantic City and to be partnering with Borgata, one of the top casino resorts in the U.S.,” said Ed Kane, co-founder and principal of Big Night. “This is the beginning of an exciting, long-term collaboration where we’ll introduce our expertise in live music, nightlife, and experiential hospitality to one of the most iconic destinations in the country. Together, we’ll create unforgettable, next-level experiences for Atlantic City guests for years to come.”
