Revel Casino, the first new resort to open in Atlantic City in nine years, will make its debut earlier than expected. Revel announced last week that the $2.4 billion mega-casino will open to guests on April 2 and throw a formal grand opening celebration during Memorial Day weekend after an eight-week trial run. A dress rehearsal opening for 5,000 invited guests is scheduled for March 29 and 30. Revel's soft opening was not planned until May 15, but with construction ahead of schedule, developer Revel Entertainment Group LLC decided to open as soon as possible.

ANYBODY GET AN INVITATION YET???
