The
key to any successful vacation is in the planning. The same can be said
for making a vacation destination a thriving hot spot. But as it turns
out, many tourist attractions weren’t thought out that well. Case in
point: Revel Casino.
After two years in business, the luxury resort and casino in Atlantic
City just announced that it would be closing its doors forever in
September.
And while this seems to be a big fail, it isn’t the worst travel flop on record.
Shockingly, there are lots of
hotels, entertainment parks, and even beaches that have proved the
saying “the devil is in the details.” We rounded up the worst travel
flops ever.
Revel Casino, Atlantic City
Hope you didn’t bet on this baby becoming a winner. Only two years after opening its doors,
Revel Casino
will
shut them for good next month. The $2.4 billion glass-covered casino
sits on the north end of the Boardwalk. The goal was for the luxury
resort to help provide a much-needed boost to the declining gambling
scene in Atlantic City. However, it never turned a profit. After
declaring bankruptcy twice — the last time in June — the company finally
decided to wind down the business. The last roll the dice will be
September 10.
