Atlantic City’s Reinvention Rolls On With Start of $100 Million Water Park Project

It was a chilly 34 degrees outside, but developer Bart Blatstein threw a beach party to kick off construction of his delayed $100 million project in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In a large tent right off the seaside vacation spot’s famous boardwalk, waitresses in thong bikinis and waiters in swim trunks served drinks. A nearly naked model in body paint walked among the packed crowd of attendees. Youths cavorted in a small pool in the corner of the room as a band played.
