Don't know that opening and closing dates are that important to the story. The main thing is that gaming markets are saturated all over the country. When revenues decline that dramatically, something has to happen. Unfortunately, the first thing to happen is that casinos trim employees. The media always overstates the case. Remember Superstorm Sandy? The media was reporting that the Boardwalk was destroyed, when in fact it wasn't even touched. The reporters were showing a portion of the Boardwalk in the Inlet area that has been in disrepair for years ... had nothing to do with Sandy ... yet people stayed away from A.C. for a long time, even though the Boardwalk Casinos were unaffected.

I have a hunch that Revel will be sold to another casino operator, and maybe even Trump Plaza too. Wanna bet?
