History

Caesars purchased the 11 year old Howard Johnson's Regency Motor Hotel in 1977 and announced that it would renovate the 11-story, 425-room structure and add seven floors to the building, expanding the room count to 548, plus a 52,000 sq.ft. casino. Despite the governor of New Jersey's demands, the Casino Control Commission allowed Caesars to use the Howard Johnson building due to it being relatively new construction. The casino opened on June 16, 1979 as Caesars Boardwalk Regency. In 1987, the name of the resort was changed to Caesars Atlantic City. Throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Caesars expanded the Roman theme to the outside, which originally had a modern look to it. Renovations were completed in 2008, with the Boardwalk and street sides of the casino being renovated into Roman facades, along with a new parking garage and a new hotel tower.

The 25-floor Centurion Tower, added in 1997, has 610 rooms and a height of 299 ft (91 m).
