But behind the scenes, Atlantic Casino was going sideways.
It advertised in newspapers up the coast. The 196-foot yacht went 3 miles off the Florida coast, where passengers could drink and gamble free of oversight by state regulators.įor those first few months, employees recall, Atlantic Casino was a smash.
The Atlantic sailed twice a day in the summer of 2003, gliding out of Miami Beach Marina with a full liquor bar, prime rib on the buffet, a dance floor, blackjack tables, roulette wheels, and 200 slot machines.
