Atlantic City Gets a Jimmy Buffett Boost

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.

The Margaritaville complex is all set to open its doors May 24, 2013 at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. The new addition features a Margaritaville restaurant, LandShark Bar & Grill, Margaritaville-themed casino, Five O'clock Somewhere bar, retail store, and coffee shop.

Visitors strolling along the Atlantic City Boardwalk will literally walk through the laid-back, island-inspired, fun Margaritaville experience with the restaurant and casino on the landside of the Boardwalk and LandShark Bar & Grill directly on the beach.

The Margaritaville Restaurant is just over 14,000 square feet and is expected to seat 448 guests. It will feature a stage for nightly live entertainment, a Tiki bar and Buffett-inspired accent pieces throughout including a giant blender at the restaurant's entrance. A seasonal exterior deck on the Boardwalk will allow guests to enjoy alfresco dining or a drink topped off with a gentle ocean breeze.

Situated on 200 feet of prime beach frontage at the site of the Old Steeplechase Pier, LandShark Bar & Grill will bring its guests to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The 8,000-square-foot Bar & Grill will seat approximately 370 guests and will be the only year-round full-service bar and restaurant on the sand side of the Boardwalk.

Beyond the LandShark Bar & Grill and restaurant, Margaritaville will occupy over 17,400 square feet within the Resorts Casino Hotel complex.  In addition to the restaurants there will be a 5 O'Clock Somewhere Bar with eye-catching flair bartenders and colorful concoctions, Margaritaville's first-ever coffee shop, and a casino area that will include 12 Margaritaville-themed table games and 160 slot machines.
