The first casino opened in Atlantic City, N.J., in 1978. There are now 11, forming a casino skyline that is reflected in the water early one recent morning. Over the next five years, Atlantic City will greatly expand. At least four companies are investing a total of about $9 billion. Revel casino will be 710 feet tall; an even taller MGM Atlantic City will have 5,000 slot machines, 200 table games.
