Lady Gaga's "Monster Ball Tour" January 16th at Borgata Atlantic City


Lady Gaga’s “Monster Ball Tour” has already kicked off and is making its rounds to Atlantic City on January 16th, 2010. Gaga is still a relatively new kid on the block when it comes to tenure in the music industry, but her latest entry “The Fame” was a monster success, featuring hits “Paparazzi”, “Poker Face.” She has already garnered attention and praise, some even going so far as to compare her to Madonna.


To be honest, they wouldn’t be far off! Her outlandish costumes, most of which are designed by Gaga herself, and her elaborate stage show complete with lights, props, and dancing galore are very reminiscent of the style that Madonna portrayed in her heyday. Lady Gaga has all the potential to make it to the top of her genre and stay there for years and years to come. Her fast-paced hip-pop style is original and catchy. Her style is undeniably interesting. Don't miss her at the Borgata on January 16th!

Revel Construction Update

Atlantic City's new mega-casino & hotel resort, Revel Entertainment, has had its ups and downs since it has begun construction. The now half-finished project recently ceased interior construction, temporarily laying off hundreds of workers, in order to save funds and complete the exterior of the building.

On September 10th, Revel sent out a press release stating that it has signed a deal with Chinese State Construction Engineering Corp. to team with Tishman Construction & provide construction management for the massive project. Revel made it clear that the Chinese government's construction arm will not be providing any financing toward the construction of the 3,800 room, Las Vegas-style hotel & casino, and they intend to go ahead with prior plans to seek funding in the fourth quarter of 2009.
