Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino Resort on Monday said it has promoted Bill Callahan, previously Interim Chief Executive Officer, to General Manager.
Callahan joined Ocean in July 2020 as Senior Vice President of Hospitality. Officials said he was promoted to Executive Vice President of Hospitality and Gaming in July 2021.
“Bill is a 25-year veteran of the gaming industry who has done a great job since joining the team at Ocean,” Bruce Dall, president of OCRM, LLC, said in a statement. “He has been an integral part of enhancing the guest experience across the property, while helping to build the best hospitality team in the market. We are confident in Bill’s ability to lead Ocean forward as we become the premier gaming destination in Atlantic City.”
Dall said Ocean Casino Resort had its most successful year on record in 2021, and recently announced it would invest more than $75m in the property. This will include the addition of more than 460 guest rooms and suites.
Ocean announced $15m in property improvements last summer, including a redesigned casino floor featuring new high limit experiences.
Ocean Casino Resort spans more than 20 beachfront acres on the world-famous Atlantic City Boardwalk. It currently features 1,399 guest rooms and suites, 135,000 square feet of gaming entertainment, 1,720 slot machines, 108 gaming tables, 160,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, and 90,000 square feet of unique outdoor space. The property has four upscale dining restaurants, 11 casual dining options, a 40,000-square-foot spa, six signature day and nightlife experiences, and a 4,500-seat concert venue.
Ocean says it is home to the world’s largest Topgolf Swing Suite and offers both land-based sports wagering and online gaming within the state of New Jersey through its real-money gaming sites. Ocean Casino Resort is owned and operated by AC Beachfront, LLC.
