This week the GGB Podcast features a discussion with Joe Lupo, the president and CEO of Hard Rock Atlantic City, on how the Atlantic City casinos reopened and what challenges they continue to face.
When the Atlantic City casinos reopened in early July, there was surprise when New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy prohibited indoor dining just days before the scheduled reopening. Casinos had to scramble to add this to their long list of protocols, but Joe Lupo, the president of Hard Rock Atlantic City, says they’re making the best of it. At the Hard Rock, outdoor terraces have become dining experiences. Other casinos are making similar changes, as the expanded protocols seem be working in attracting customers, albeit a tad younger than usual. Lupo spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros over the phone for an Atlantic City executive panel to be published in the September edition of Gaming Law Review.
