To help accomplish that, many casinos will spend heavily on new hotel, dining and entertainment projects in 2023, led by Caesars Entertainment, which is opening new restaurant, hotel room and entertainment projects at its three Atlantic City casinos. Through the first 11 months of 2022, the casinos won $2.56 billion from on-premises gamblers, compared with $2.47 billion in the same period of 2019, before the pandemic hit. Getting back to and exceeding pre-COVID levels in their core business - winning money from in-person gamblers - remains the top goal of Atlantic City's casinos. Giannantonio says he is optimistic about new development projects in Atlantic City.
