Ocean Casino Resort’s Post

Our very own Creative Agency, Tru Blu, was selected to participate in the Atlantic City Arts Foundation’s Summer Inlet Project! This past week they transformed a large planter box at Gardner’s Basin into a nautical masterpiece, bringing a piece of Ocean’s iconic lobby fish tank to life for all to enjoy 🌊

 Peloton is here at Ocean ✨ Who better to cut the ceremonial ribbon at the grand opening of our newly renovated gym Mussels Fitness Center than super star and Peloton Trainer Cody Rigsby. Our updated fitness equipment (complete with Peloton bikes and rowers) are just a fraction of what our new gym space has to offer. Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate!

On Sunday, June 2, over 2,000 cyclists participated in the 52nd Annual Bridge to the Beach Bike-A-Thon in support of the American Cancer Society. Amongst the 2,000 cyclists were two of Ocean’s team members---Hugh Turner, CFO and Cassie DeDomenicis, Warehouse Attendant. Hugh has returned for his tenth year and Cassie for her sixth year, both committed to raising funds for cancer research. What started out as a physical endurance challenge, soon became a more personal way to honor and support family members, friends and colleagues who battled cancer. Starting at the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia and cycling 67 miles, both crossed over the finish line in Ventnor at the shore. Waiting for them, were a team of Ocean volunteers, who began the day early in the morning setting up the finish line in anticipation of welcoming and cheering on the cyclists.

The Atlantic City Rescue Mission is the largest provider of services for the homeless and poor in southern New Jersey. Not only does the Rescue Mission provide safe shelter and rooms for men, women and families, but also feed nearly 600 meals every day in the dining hall. The Ocean team assisted in the kitchen at dinner and served up meals to both residents and walk-in guests from the Atlantic City Community.

ANNOUNCEMENT 🚁 Ocean will be flying guests by helicopter to AC in style all summer long with the launch of our partnership with global air mobility platform, BLADE to offer nonstop air travel from New York City directly to our distinctive rooftop helipad. Book your seat on a 6-passenger helicopter beginning on Saturday, May 25, with additional flights currently scheduled every Saturday in July and August, wrapping up on Labor Day Weekend. Guests can elevate their experience further with an overnight stay at Ocean including a guaranteed suite upgrade and exclusive amenities provided by Moët & Chandon & Chandon, Ocean's official champagne partner for this launch. “We are pleased to be partnering with BLADE to launch Ocean’s customer-facing, by-the-seat helicopter service throughout the summer,” said Bill Callahan, General Manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “Our customers have enjoyed privately chartered trips since we built our helipad last year, however adding a scheduled best-in-class travel experience provides yet another fantastic amenity to our award-winning beachfront resort.” Passengers will enjoy a seamless 40-minute trip from the BLADE Lounge West terminal on West 30th Street, Manhattan to our newly constructed helipad located on the roof of the customer garage; where they will be treated to a unique and personalized arrival, with dedicated concierge service and complimentary suite upgrade. “This is a natural extension for BLADE to complement its Hamptons and Airport routes,” said Roisin Branch, CMO of BLADE. “We have seen a meaningful increase in charter requests from Manhattan to Atlantic City recently and we are excited to make the flights more accessible to a broader audience over the summer.” Learn more: https://bit.ly/44uUafM
