Borgata to Add Two New Entertainment Venues
March 4, 2015Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa today announced plans to build an outdoor entertainment venue to host concerts and festivals along with plans to construct a new, state-of-the-art nightclub later this year.
Borgata received preliminary determination of eligibility today from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) to utilize approximately $14 million of its current and future funds on deposit with the CRDA generated from its Investment Alternative Tax payments. This investment will partially fund the development and construction of the two new venues that will further bolster Atlantic City’s market leading entertainment and resort destination.
Located at Borgata’s Northeast entrance, Borgata Festival Park, an outdoor concert venue and festival grounds, will feature world-class musical acts. The inaugural concert will tentatively take place on Saturday, June 13 with multiple bands joining forces for an all-day outdoor celebration. Throughout the summer and early fall, a variety of well-known performers will be featured with announcements for the lineup coming later in March.
The venue will feature some of the biggest disc jockeys in the world with a series of day-life Electric Dance Music parties. Festival Park will also play a prominent role in the Savor Borgata Culinary Series, highlighting the city’s leading culinary destination by hosting food and beverage festivals throughout the year.
In addition to its outdoor venue, Borgata will invest a large portion of capital money into the design and development of a new, state-of-the-art nightlife experience scheduled to open at the end of 2015. The prominent New York City architectural firm of Josh Held Design, which has created projects such as Marquee Nightclub (New York), TAO Restaurant and Nightclub (Las Vegas) and Voyeur Nightclub (Los Angeles) has been appointed to head the venture.
