1 NJ casino reopens, another scheduled
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — One Atlantic City casino reopened Friday within two hours of getting permission from Gov. Chris Christie and at least one other was scheduled to do so later in the day.
Christie announced the order to allow reopening at 10 a.m. Friday and said it was effective immediately. He also allowed roads to the seaside resort, which was subject to a mandatory evacuation, to reopen.
An hour and a half later, Golden Nugget Atlantic City was open. The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was preparing to open at 4 p.m.
It wasn't clear when others would open.
Tropicana Casino and Resort President Tony Rodio, who also heads the Casino Association of New Jersey, said the casinos are working on the logistics.
State regulators are giving final approval for reopening plans individually.
Getting workers in place at the businesses could be a challenge. The city has been shut down since Sunday. And now that it's reopening, traffic congestion could be a major problem.
The Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa was scrambling to arrange to bring employees to the building Friday morning.
