Blade Urban Air Travel and Resorts Casino Hotel are teaming up to debut a helicopter transport service connecting New York City and Atlantic City just as summer begins.
The businesses opted to initiate the timetabled flights after observing a spike in private charter requests for this route.
Known as “Scheduled by Blade,” the service commences over Memorial Day Weekend and operates through Labor Day, swiftly transporting patrons to and from a helipad atop Resorts Casino Hotel.
Flights start on May 25th and are available every Saturday and Sunday during July and August, in addition to Labor Day Weekend, with a single-trip fare of $695.
“This collaboration makes perfect sense for Blade as we broaden our leisure and airport transfer services throughout the Northeast,” stated Rob Wiesenthal, Blade’s chief marketing officer.
“We’ve witnessed significant expansion in private charter interest between New York City and Atlantic City, and we are delighted to now provide scheduled service to a wider range of travelers this summer.”
Passengers can anticipate a rapid 40-minute journey from Blade’s West Side Lounge in Manhattan to the recently built rooftop helipad at Resorts Casino Hotel.
As an added perk, each traveler who reserves a flight will receive a complimentary bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne upon arrival.
“We are excited to collaborate with Blade to provide this service to guests arriving at Resorts Casino Hotel this summer,” remarked Bill Callahan, general manager of Resorts Casino Hotel.
Our collaboration with Blade has truly taken flight since the helipad’s debut last year, with visitors embracing the exclusive air travel. We’re now elevating the experience by offering single seats on Blade helicopters, making our breathtaking oceanfront property even easier to reach.”
Additionally, Ocean Casino Resort is joining forces with Konami Gaming to introduce their state-of-the-art Synkros casino management platform to the property. The implementation is projected to conclude this summer.
