He has carefully studied what went wrong at Atlantic City’s former Revel casino and is fixing it before he reopens the star-crossed property as the Ocean Resort Casino. Deifik, who has been living at the Tropicana casino for the past nine months as he readied Ocean Resort, detailed his plans for the property to The Associated Press. Actor and musician Mark Wahlberg will have a large presence at Ocean Resort, opening his Wahlburgers burger restaurant, and also will open a bar called “Entourage,” Deifik said. Deifik also guaranteed Ocean Resort will reach a contract agreement with the city’s main casino union, an assessment with which the union agreed; labour relations between the union and Revel were contentious. He promises Ocean Resort will not open until it is truly ready.
