Ocean Casino Resort to spend $270m on renovations including larger Asian gaming space
Atlantic City casino Ocean Casino Resort has announced it will spend over $50m in property-wide capital investments planned for 2025.
These new development projects are part of a seven-year, $270m property transformation that Ocean has been implementing since its inception in 2018. This latest commitment includes more than 500 new Blu Rooms and Suites, a casino expansion, five new dining options and more.
As part of its ongoing upgrade of the casino experience, Ocean will introduce a larger polished Asian Gaming space by summer 2025. Designed by R2Architects, the footprint will double its size, from 4,000 to 8,000-square-feet, offering 32 gaming tables including Mini Baccarat and Pai Gow Poker.
“Ocean continues to invest in property enhancements that enable us to provide an unmatched guest experience not only in Atlantic City, but nationwide,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “We are introducing five highly anticipated dining concepts that our customers have been asking for. This year also marks an exciting milestone as we complete the entire hotel with fully renovated guest rooms and suites.”
Ocean’s 2025 investment in its guest rooms and suites marks the culmination of a multi-year project to transform all 1,860 guest rooms and suites at the property. In 2022, Ocean introduced 12 floors of renovated Blu Rooms and Suites that had been unfinished by the previous owner and, in 2023 and 2024, unveiled more than 700 guest rooms and suites, as well as the introduction of its Duplex and Bay suites. The design of the new Blu Rooms and Suites is inspired by colors and patterns of the shoreline, elevating Ocean’s unmatched beachfront location on the waters of the Atlantic.
Ocean Casino Resort is opening two new restaurants in partnership with restaurateur Stephen Starr, who is lending STARR Restaurants’ expertise on the conceptualization of the two venues. The multi-million-dollar concepts will be located on Ocean’s Lobby Level and are scheduled to open this summer.
A South Jersey & Philadelphia area favorite, LaScala’s Fire will also open, bringing classic Italian American cuisine to the casino.
Ocean’s 18 Mini Golf & Bar, a new multi-million-dollar entertainment destination, will open later this summer, offering fun for visitors of all ages.
Currently situated on 20 beachfront acres on the world-famous Atlantic City Boardwalk, Ocean’s sandy shores have expanded in 2025. With the recent completion of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers’ $92.6m project to replenish the sand on the beaches of New Jersey’s coastline, Ocean guests will now have access to additional exclusive beachfront fun just outside the doors of the property.
