ATLANTIC
CITY -
Resorts Atlantic City has opened 25 Hours.
The
new casino bar and lounge offers a European vibe and wildly
shaken martini classics.
The decor features exotic ebony woods, rich cobalt hues
and intimate booths.
"The
atmosphere of 25 Hours is unique to the bar scene in Atlantic
City," said Audrey Oswell, president and CEO of Resorts
Atlantic City. "We've created a sultry environment
where guests can experience a private alcove and still
be a part of the action on the casino floor."
Cocktail
servers don what are being called French coats, a mini
version of the trench coat.
In addition to signature drinks and martinis, 25 Hours
offers wines, champagne and beer.
Action!
Scenes
from the feature movie 508 Nelson will be filmed on Thursday
at Resorts. The film's story revolves around stolen money,
a motorcycle gang, the Russian mob, a masseuse and an
investigator.
The
movie stars Jamie Harris from Lemony Snicket's A Series
of Unfortunate Events, Olek Krupa from The Italian Job,
Reg Cathey from SWAT and A Clear and Present Danger, and
Peter Scolari from television shows Bosom Buddies and
Newhart.
The

Tower suite.
