The Quarter at Tropicana Casino & Resort Marks 10 Year Anniversary

The Quarter at Tropicana Casino & Resort Marks 10 Year Anniversary

Entertainment complex remains one of the largest nongaming expansions in the history of Atlantic City

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (October 9, 2014) — This November Tropicana Casino & Resort will celebrate the 10 year anniversary of The Quarter. The $285 million dining, shopping and entertainment complex, heralded by many as the first Las Vegas-style destination in Atlantic City, marked its anticipated debut on November 23, 2004.
The Quarter pays homage to the vibrant ambiance of 1940s Havana, home to the original Tropicana Casino and Resort. The indoor, three-story, 200,000-square-foot streetscape is home to iconic dining destinations like The Palm Restaurant, Carmine’s, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar and P.F. Chang’s China Bistro.
Adding to the unique energy of The Quarter are live music venues, distinctive bars and nightspots including Rí~Rá Irish Pub, The Comedy Stop Café & Cabaret, Planet Rose Karaoke Bar, Broadway Burger Bar, Anthem Lounge and Providence Nightclub.
The Quarter boasts Atlantic City’s one and only IMAX Theatre.  The roster of renowned retailers include Chico’s, White House | Black Market, Erwin Pearl, Caché, Bluemercury Makeup, Skincare & Spa, Francesca’s Collections and Swarovski as well as distinct specialty shops such as Zephyr Gallery, The Hat Emporium and Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store.
“Atlantic City’s non-gaming revenues have become an essential part of any casino operator’s financial mix,” said Steve Callender, General Manager of Tropicana Casino & Resort. “The development of The Quarter was ahead of its time ten years ago as the first non-gaming expansion of it its kind. Today non-gaming attractions still continue to evolve throughout the city.”
Tropicana Recognizes Ten-Year Tenants
Eighteen occupants have been a thriving part of The Quarter’s experience since opening day: Palm Restaurant, Carmine’s, Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar,  P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Rí~Rá Irish Pub, The Comedy Stop Café & Cabaret, Planet Rose Karaoke Bar, Zephyr Gallery, The Hat Emporium, Zeytina New York’s Choice Gourmet, Cache, Chico’s, Swarovski, White House | Black Market, Erwin Pearl, IMAX, Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store and Bluemercury Makeup, Skincare and Spa.

Tropicana Welcomes New Tenants
Over the years, new occupants have joined the mix. The popular Providence Nightclub opened in The Quarter in 2007, as did Godiva Chocolatier. In 2009, A Time for Wine opened its doors, and in 2010 Tropicana welcomed Starbucks.

The year 2011 saw the opening days of Mrs. Fields Cookies, Francesca’s Collections and Talk of the Walk. Anthem Lounge, Seashore Kids, Lick and AKA were introduced in 2012, with additional grand openings of Broadway Burger Bar and Wet Willies in 2013 and GoYoGo Frozen Yogurt in 2014.

Public Invited to Join The Quarter’s 10 Year Anniversary Celebration & Tree Lighting
On Monday, November 24 at 1:00 PM, Tropicana Casino & Resort will host an official ceremony to commemorate the past and celebrate the future. Guests will enjoy food samples, cake, sparkling beverages, and guest speakers.   Guest speakers to include Mayor Don Guardian, Liza Cartmell, President of the ACA, John Palmieri, Executive Director of the CRDA, and Tony Rodio, President & CEO of Tropicana Entertainment Inc.

About The Quarter’s 10^th Anniversary

• The new resort is the only Adults Only hotel on the island to offer the All Inclusive 24-hour service
• The Riu Palace Antillas joins the Riu Palace Aruba to enhance the company’s options on the Caribbean island 

Coinciding with the start of high season in the Caribbean, on the 11th of October RIU Hotels & Resorts will open its second hotel on the stunning island of Aruba: the luxury Riu Palace Antillas. This new resort, located next to the Riu Palace Aruba right on Palm Beach, will be the first on the whole island exclusively for over 18s to offer an all inclusive 24-hour service.

These features, unique on the island, will allow guests to enjoy the recognised RIU All Inclusive 24-hour programme, as well as luxury services only available at the Riu Palace Adults Only hotels such as: a welcome glass of cava, concierge, 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi Internet service throughout the hotel.

The modern interior design of the Riu Palace Antillas follows the style the RIU Hotel chain is using for its new projects. Its 482 rooms will have satellite flat screen TV, an electronic safe and free Wi-Fi Internet service.

In terms of food and drink, the star will be the Atlantis restaurant, which offers international cuisine and stations with freshly cooked dishes.

Guests can enjoy a snack at the Palm Beach pool restaurant, as well as refreshments and cocktails at the pool bar Aqua or the Wayaka lobby bar. Besides, the hotel has an elegant café, open around the clock, that offers customers a delicious range of cakes and pastries.
