Why is your venue a necessary part of Atlantic City or County?
We are part of the revitalization of the Orange Loop. The Orange Loop section of Atlantic City, which is the three beach blocks from South New York Avenue to Tennessee Avenue. The neighborhood went from undeveloped, run down properties to a now thriving neighborhood with restaurants, coffee shops, a yoga studio and more, and we have been thrilled to be a part of it since 2019.

During his tenure at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City Lee progressively advanced until he served as Vice President of Food and Beverage responsible for over $80 million dollars in revenue and over 600 team members.

In 2017 Lee started STW Hospitality a consulting firm focused only helping companies develop` and grow their brands, operations management and leadership development.
