Harrah's Atlantic City is undergoing a major expansion, including a huge glass dome that will cover the resort's pool, which will be completed by May 2007.
On Tuesday, Harrah's executives toured the construction site and showed off the 90-foot-high glass dome other elements being completed as part of the initial phase of the hotel's $550 million expansion.
The Waterfall Buffet, a new dining spot will open in February, with five of six upscale retail shops that sell women's fashions, jewelry and electronics.
The hotel's 44-story tower will open for guests by mid-2008. Harrah's cut back the number of suites in favor of more standard rooms, reducing the number of floors from 47 to 44. Harrah's Atlantic City's expansion, which will create 500 jobs, intends to bring in more overnight visitors. Today, around 65 percent of the customers drive in for the day and according to R. Scott Barber, senior vice president and general manager of Harrah's, they aim to get it closer to 60-40.
