Caesars Atlantic City will start work this year on a new theater and resident show due to open in the first quarter of 2023. The project will incorporate the façade of the former Warner Theatre from 1929, which is currently part of the casino’s exterior facing the Boardwalk.
Also planned for Caesars in 2022 is a new restaurant, opened by a hospitality company involving actor Robert De Niro that also will renovate hotel rooms there. Caesars Entertainment is partnering with Nobu Hospitality for a project to be called Nobu Hotel Atlantic City.
