Showboat Atlantic City is a Mardi Gras themed casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1998, the property was purchased by Harrah's Entertainment, which has since sold off similar casinos in other cities (Showboat Las Vegas was renamed Castaways hotel and casino) and Showboat East Chicago, once renamed Harrah's East Chicago, was later sold to Resorts International and renamed Resorts East Chicago). Showboat is the northernmost casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, though Revel Entertainment is building a casino to its north on the boardwalk. Showboat Atlantic City contains the House of Blues (HOB) restaurant and has suites under the House of Blues name. In May 2003, the Showboat hotel added a 544 room, $90 million dollar tower called the Orleans Tower, which houses the HOB Suites. In 2007, the hotel remodeled its Bourbon Tower (original tower). The hotel consists of eight restaurants including the Canal Street Bread & Sandwich Company, Mansion Cafe, French Quarter Buffet, and others. It has sister properties in the middle of the boardwalk, Bally's and Caesars, plus Harrah's in the marina district. Showboat currently has 3,540 slot machines.
