Thomas Kean in The Art of the Deal


On Principles & Values: Supported construction of Atlantic City casinos in recession

In Atlantic City in the spring of 1982, the only casino under construction by then was the Tropicana, and thousands of local construction workers were either out of work or about to be. [The Holiday Inn] represented the first casino-hotel in Atlantic City ever built on time and on budget.

On May 14, the casino opened to a public response that exceeded my wildest expectations. The governor, Thomas Kean, was the main speaker, and he was extremely generous in praising what we had accomplished.
