Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City To Open Five New Dining, Nightlife, & Spa Concepts This Spring
Building on its legacy of four decades of success in the Atlantic City market, the Marina District’s first casino-hotel, Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, announced today it will debut five new offerings this spring that introduce a brand-new spa and four new dining, nightlife and entertainment concepts for guests to enjoy.
Following the excitement of Caesars Entertainment’s recently-announced commitment of $400 million in capital investment and improvements into its Atlantic City resorts over the next three years, which includes upgrades to guestrooms and suites in Harrah’s Atrium Tower, Harrah’s Resort will additionally unveil five new offerings that will further complement the new guestroom renovations. These enhancements to the overall resort include:
The Spa at Harrah’s Resort – a first-class spa experience conveniently situated adjacent to The Pool, Fitness Center, and The Waterfront Conference Center
The Lobby Bar – an expanded and upgraded bar experience that will serve as the ultimate pre and post destination for an evening out at the resort with top-shelf selections, craft cocktails, and over 70 variations of whiskey and spirits
The Baywalk at Harrah’s – an outdoor, bayside container bar with dining and live music
Rum Point Crab House – a fresh crab and seafood restaurant with scenic sunsets and water views
A new dining and nightlife experience at the resort’s famous Pool at Harrah’s.
“Harrah’s Resort was the very first casino to open in the Marina District more than 40 years ago. It helped transform the area into a sophisticated resort destination within the market,” said Gregg Klein, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City. “Four decades later, we are continuing to evolve and introduce brand-new amenities and first-to-market experiences here in Atlantic City. Building on our recently-announced room enhancements to our Atrium hotel tower, these five new concepts will further position our resort as the ultimate summer destination with something for everyone under one roof.”
All five new offerings will open in time for Memorial Day weekend, with the first phase of the Atrium Tower project completed by Summer 2021.
The All-New Atrium Hotel Tower at Harrah’s Resort
The all-new Atrium Tower at Harrah’s Resort is part of Caesars Entertainment’s commitment to $170 million in hotel renovations in the Atlantic City market. The tower offers spectacular views and fresh design elements in rooms ranging from 450 to 700 square feet per room.
Designed by Interior Image Group, the remodeled guestroom and suites were inspired by the casino’s upscale, yet accessible brand of hospitality with rich elements that are fun, lively and vibrant playing off the resort’s sophisticated Marina District locale.

The sprawling spa retreat will feature 23 treatment rooms, including a deluxe couples suite, complete with an in-room Jacuzzi and fireplace, and a menu of customized spa and salon services, which include skincare, massage and body treatments, as well as nail care, makeup artistry and hair design.

Northern Super League Partners with Stats Perform

Stats Perform, the global leader in sports AI, data and technology, has announced an official data partnership with the Northern Super League (NSL). The partnership will allow world-leading Opta data to be collected live from every NSL league game for the next three years.
Beginning this month, the Northern Super League (NSL) establishes a new era in Canadian sport as the country’s first professional domestic women’s soccer league — an ambitious and transformative initiative co-founded by former Canadian international and Olympic medallist Diana Matheson. Its inaugural season kicks off on April 16 and will feature six teams who have assembled multinational player rosters with extensive club and international experience, including 100-cap Canadian internationals Desiree Scott and Quinn.
Once the action begins, detailed data from every on-ball event, including advanced AI-powered Opta Analytics metrics such as Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), will be captured and distributed via feeds and Stats Perform products, including OptaAI Studio. This will enable various broadcasters, publishers and rights holders to generate stories and insights throughout the NSL season and provide them straight to the league’s fans in real time.
As part of the agreement, the NSL’s League Office and every NSL club will also have access to Opta Search, part of OptaAI Studio. This will allow their content creators to leverage all Opta data collected during the NSL season in the creation of data-led stories on the stand-out performers, and will help them generate key talking points for publication on official league and club platforms. Opta Search will also empower the NSL’s media team to create a range of data visualizations, including player shot maps and touch maps, to visually illustrate the impact of different players’ on-field performances.
Christina Litz, NSL President, said: “We are thrilled to have Stats Perform on board as our official data partner. When we talk about detailed performance data in soccer, Opta is the gold standard, so we are delighted to have it powering each of our official digital channels. As the season progresses, we want to put the spotlight on all the on-field heroes who emerge and having access to world-class data will help us tell their stories and inspire a new generation of Canadian soccer fans.”
Steve Xeller, Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, said: “Stats Perform has been a huge supporter of expansion leagues around the world, so we are very pleased to be partnering with NSL in the lead-up to their first domestic campaign. Seeing a fully professional women’s soccer league launch in Canada is an incredibly exciting development for the sport in North America and we see considerable potential in working proactively with the League’s Head Office to help the competition grow, using the power of AI and data-led storytelling to build fan communities across the continent.”
