ATLANTIC CITY - As the final guests checked out of the Revel Casino Hotel on Monday morning, some said they were convinced that the $2.4 billion bankrupt property would reopen under a new owner.
"I don't think it's going to stay closed," said Paul Hergen, 42, who, with his wife and 3-year-old daughter, was enjoying Revel's two-acre landscaped patio and its wide views of the Atlantic Ocean.
"I think it's the most amazing property there's ever been in Atlantic City," said Hergen, of Greenwich, Conn., who said he has been coming to Atlantic City since he was 18.
Hergen and other hotel guests were scheduled to check out by 11 a.m. Monday. The casino was supposed to continue operating until 6 a.m. Tuesday, but early Sunday evening only a smattering of gamblers remained on the floor.
Off the casino floor, loyal gamblers were collecting a final gift from Revel: an eight-piece melamine bowl set, including measuring cups. One couple walked away with a menu from Amada restaurant signed by the chefs.
The closure of Revel, which opened in April 2012 and employed 2,814 in July, follows the end of casino operations on Sunday at Showboat after 27 years. Trump Plaza is scheduled to close Sept. 16, bringing total job losses to about 5,700 for the three casinos. All are victims of the proliferation of casinos in Pennsylvania and other neighboring states since 2006.
But in its short time of operation, Revel won some diehard fans.
Three friends from New York, for example, regulars who stayed overnight at Revel at least once a month, were having fun taking pictures of each other on one of the long escalators that lead up to the hotel lobby on the 11th floor.
Jayne Lord, of the Bronx, and Lucille Alexander, of West Chester County, N.Y., wore T-shirts that said "RIP My Beloved Revel." On the back there was a campy comic-book figure of a woman crying and saying, "My Revel is gone."
Friend Robert Lorenzo said Revel grew on him. "The more I came here, the more I loved it," said Lorenzo, also of the Bronx.

"The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express."
-- Francis Bacon
Imagine sitting in a 100-year-old patio courtyard surrounded by vibrant red bougainvillea twining and twirling around static iron balconies. You look up and see a Della Robbia-style Madonna and Child plaque on a high Moorish-type wall with a thousand intricate curves. Red Spanish tile walkways show slight dips from a hundred years of footfall. Twittering birds flit to a fountain trickling small streams of water to separate basins. Does this sound like a peaceful, somewhat exotic destination? Does it make you want to reach for your passport and be whisked off to Spain or Morocco?
Even though this courtyard with its terra-cotta tones resembles a captivating destination like Spain, it is right here in Southern California Riverside to be exact. For me it is reminiscent of a trip to Spain. Others might be taken back to a time in Morocco or Italy but most will probably just revel in the immediate beauty of this historic hotel called the Mission Inn.
One of the joys of traveling is to be transported to a world that is inspiring and beautiful... and will serve to awaken the senses. A visit to the Mission Inn will do just that.
This National Historic Landmark has inspired many a dignitary. Ten U.S. presidents have visited, including President Richard Nixon and his wife Pat, who were married at the Mission Inn. President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy spent their wedding night at the hotel. In 1926, Crown Prince Gustavus and Princess Louise of Sweden were guests.
The Mission Inn is close enough for lunch, and distant enough for an overnight stay. Built in "Mission Revival" style, the hotel has had various construction phases, but the first wing was completed by Frank Miller in 1903, over a 100 years ago.
This architectural showpiece is furnished with priceless treasures and unique objects that Miller collected during his world Advertisement [ Fallbrook Mattress ] travels. He amassed a staggering amount of bells, 400 of which can be found on the grounds of the inn. Tiffany stained glass windows, Chinese vases and various architectural accoutrements unite in a delightful array of the eclectic like a small-scale Hearst Castle.
Guests are free to wander most of the property and discover a myriad of architectural wonders a Spanish-style chapel, fountains, reflecting pools, intricately fashioned doors and colorful tiled roofs. Like the Hearst Castle, there is something fascinating around every corner.

POLICE are appealing for information after a Darlington home was burgled while the occupants were on holiday.
The burglar smashed the glass patio doors at the rear of a house on Arthur Street and stole high-value items including two laptop computers, a Wii games console, Wii balance board, lots of games and some tools.
The break-in happened sometime between 10am on Monday, August 11 and 11am the following day.
PC Jim Edwards of Darlington police said: The owners of the property were away when the burglary occurred and are devastated that their home was invaded while they were on holiday and that their property was stolen.
They are appealing to anyone who has information regarding this burglary to contact police on 101.
Homeowners are advised to make a trusted friend, neighbour or family member aware they are going away so that the vacant property can be checked in their absence on a regular basis.
We would also suggest that people take appropriate security measures when away such as using timing devices for lights, security marking property and ensuring all property is as secure as possible particularly now the darker nights are encroaching.
Anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious during the times outlined above should contact police on 101.
