Harrah’s will have the official grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new Waterfront Tower Thursday, March 6 at 10am. After hearing about the delay in construction of Pinnacle’s casino at the Sands site because of the economic downturn, it's good to know that AC's progress as a destination resort continues.

Harrah’s Waterfront Tower marks the final phase of a $550 million expansion. Its centerpiece is a 960-room, 44-story tower, which will be the tallest structure in Atlantic City. Governor Corzine will be among the state and local officials on hand. The new expansion also includes The Pool entertainment complex that doubles as a nightclub three days a week; the newly opened “Taste of the Shore” food complex; the Red Door Spa and the Waterfront Buffet, which opened last April.
