History
Harrah's Atlantic City was conceived, and initial
construction started, by a partnership of LM Walters Co and Holiday Inns. It was originally to be named the
"Holiday Inn Marina Casino". Holiday Inns purchasedHarrah's Corporation, following the death of Harrah's
founder Bill Harrah, during construction of the facility.
Though Bill Harrah did not participate in the new casino's
development, the facility was re-branded Harrah's Marina Resort prior to opening. The new casino was located in the
marina district – the first casino in Atlantic City not located on the famous boardwalk. Harrah's Waterfront Tower
rises 46 stories above the Marina in Atlantic City.
Harrah's opened on Saturday November 22, 1980 with a 506-
room hotel tower, now known as the Coastal Tower, and became the top-grossing casino in the city.
