Back in 2016, we spoke with Jeff Gural, owner the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, NJ.
Mr. Gural is looking to build a casino at the Meadowlands in partnership with Hard Rock.
Listen to Gural discuss the future of Atlantic City in an interview from 8 years ago.
I have traveled to Atlantic City for various conferences and meetings. I’m always shocked by what I see.

Gural: Atlantic City has so much promise but is overridden with depressed areas, especially near the Boardwalk.

Gural has a deal in place with Hard Rock to build a casino at his Meadowlands Racetrack. Gural is confident that a Meadowlands casino would keep gambling dollars in New Jersey, rather than New York.
A New York City casino would be devastating for Atlantic City. The horrific news about Mayor Marty Small and his school boss wife only adds gasoline to an already raging dumpster fire inside city hall.
Crime, Homelessness, Drugs, Needle Exchange in the Tourism District. Dysfunctional school system.
Gural is owner of the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, and ‘racinos’; Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs.

It’s about time,now I don’t have to go to New York or PA, it can’t come soon enough . I’ve been saying to my wife for a long time they need to put a casino in the meadowlands.
I knew it Jimmy (the Weasel) Allen.
The law as it is written allows casinos in only Atlantic City. Remove the smoking ban exemption while yer at it
