In September of 2014 the former Revel casino was closed. It was one of five casinos to close in Atlantic City at that time. In October of 2016 the Trump Taj Mahal also closed. That former casino is the new location of the Hard Rock.

11,000 casino jobs were lost in 2014. With the opening of the two new casinos there will be a creation of 6,500 new jobs.

Both casinos are still undergoing last minute changes in renovations. Ocean Resort has changed the casino gaming floor layout and also is having the new carpet installed. Slot machines have also been seen moving into the building. The parking garage at the Hard Rock is having gold letters installed on the side. Employees are still in the process of being hired. 3,000 people have been hired so far by Hard Rock.

On Wednesday regulators for gaming in New Jersey will hear officials for the Hard Rock in regard to obtaining the casino gaming license. Ocean Resort has not received a hearing date for the gaming regulators as of now.
