Daily News | A marijuana lounge is headed for an Atlantic City hotel just off the Boardwalk
ATLANTIC CITY — The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City is making space on what used to be its casino floor for a cannabis dispensary and lounge that could open as soon as this summer.
Meanwhile, the Casino Redevelopment Development Authority gave its approval last week to a 10,000 square foot, two story “High Roller Dispensary,” to be located inside The Claridge, a 1920s era former casino located between Park Place and Indiana Avenues, just off the Boardwalk.Because the Claridge does not technically abut the Boardwalk — it is separated by Brighton Park and the Korean War Memorial — it is not subject to the city’s restriction against recreational cannabis on the Boardwalk.
“We feel it’s a good fit for the city as a whole, to utilize cannabis for tourism,” said Cohn, whose company is also licensed to build a cultivation facility on a vacant tract of land on nearby Martin Luther King Boulevard near Arctic in Atlantic City. “You can’t be on the Boardwalk, but it’s relatively close.”
Cohn said the dispensary and lounge would also be accessible through the hotel lobby, except when the hotel is hosting weddings, he said.
