Atlantic City’s $2.4B Revel Casino Sold for $82M

any offers .. ??

Seems to me there's definitely more going on here than meets the eye. $2.4B is a really high price tag in my view - no wonder the original owners went bankrupt! - but to then sell it for what amounts to peanuts in comparison makes me really suspicious. As others have already implied, something doesn't add up here...

Wow 82 mil in cash , definitely the rich get richer . That is a crazy bargain deal and that guy is gonna make a bloody fortune when all said and done . To own a casino like that for that price makes you foam at the mouth . Will allow for a lot of renovations and upgrades needed to make this a good and profitable establishment...

Gratz to him if it all pans out and the final spit handshake is made..lol ...too bad I didn't hit a lotto I would have bid on it ;)

it's imposibble , buyer and the seller must be in some kind of connection , and this deal will bring both sides good things . Those guys had a good reason definitely to sell it at that price , i dont think they are stupid at all :) but it will reveal itself at some point

This sounds "dirty money laundering programme" for me. 2.4bn value casino palace was sold for only 82 mln dollars? because of bancruptcy? this is impossible to believe such a fact.. Okay in the other hand, it should be some rich people involved, although, bankruptcy court aswell. Let's wait lil bit till the situation be...

man that was sold cheap... wish I had $83 mil so i could have outbid them :D

What can I say? Maybe now is the time to buy yourself a casino in Atlantic City:) But really,what a deal!! The new owners have to be extremely happy with their new acquisition and don't even mention the price for it. Revel casino looks really great from outside and I'm sure that is no less impressive indoors.

This can be considered as one of the best deals ever.When you look at the photo of casino ,you cannot admit that it looks spectacular.Buying a thing for a price that is only 3% of its worth is a dream buy.They will be probably able to sell it for a much better price,after a few years.

I read that Straub transferred $72 million in cash to Revel on Monday so his $10M deposit went toward the purchase price. The Wall Street Journal spoke with him directly so they've got some really good information on this whole thing.

I need more info about this latest move of Straub's. I am a bit confused. I remember when the first deal fell through. Straub asked the court if he could change his bid. At that time Straub's bid was that $95.4 million, just like it says. The bankruptcy court said NO. So, he didn't meet the deadline for what ever reason...

At that time Straub's bid was that $95.4 million, just like it says. The bankruptcy court said NO. So, he didn't meet the deadline for what ever reason and Revel got the OK to back out, understandable. I even remember that their was a $10 million deposit in question. At that time no decision made whether he was gonna get it back or not. Now the bankruptcy court judge had not issued a final order giving Straub and Revel's owners another opportunity to make a deal. So when did all this happen? I agree with ya zuga, a real bargain. And it doesn't sound like anybody involved is complaining about the reduced price. It just sounds kind of shady, don't you think. Straub was turned down by the court about that bid change and they were just about ready to close the deal. Maybe that $95.4 mil was the real reason that Straub missed the deadline. Maybe missing the deadline was a loophole to get him out of that deal, but still allowed him to comeback, bid on Revel a second time and at the price he wanted to pay. I guess, if the deal is still pending approval from the bankruptcy court, we will just have to wait and see if .................... This is a BIG deal with super rich people involved. I will be very surprised if it does not go through. Wealthy people can do, accomplish, get away with (however you want to see this deal) almost anything. Just waiting to see..................

It has gone back and forth so much with this Straub guy. Maybe they won't receive the approval but then again it's a shame to see that casino just sit there.

definitely a bargain
