Revel is marketing itself as a lifestyle resort, a vacation and meeting mecca that just happens to offer casino gambling as well. 'Every time I see something here, I want to take it home with me.' 'It's awesome, it's gorgeous,' said Kristen Romano, 22, of Point Pleasant Beach, who was playing a 'Sex And The City' slot machine this week. Many of those who had already done so, during a preview period that began with the casino's opening April 2, came away impressed. Revel expects more than 100,000 people to come through its doors Friday through Monday. Restaurants that were still not quite ready now are.
Hotel rooms that had been dark are now furnished and ready to rent.
