The 6.4-million-square-foot property at 500 Boardwalk has been viewed by some as a symbol for the gambling town’s struggles, as the hulking structure cost $2.4 billion to build and survived just two years before closing in 2014. The comeback story of Atlantic City will be throwing a big party later this month, as the shuttered Revel Casino property will be lively again for a kickoff celebration set to feature some big names.
