Bally's atlantic city started life in 1976 when gambling became legalized in Atlantic City. In 1977 Reese Palley bought the Marlborough Blenheim Hotel and planned to preserve the Blenheim half of the hotel, along with adjacent Dennis Hotel. Palley was successful in getting the Blenheim part of the hotel placed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, while planning to raze the Marlborough to make way for a new modern hotel. However, he stepped aside after the Bally's Manufacturing Corporation purchased a controlling interest in the project.
After Bally's atlantic city took control, they announced plans to raze the Marlborough, Blenheim, and the adjacent Dennis Hotel, despite protests, to make way for the new Park Place Casino and Hotel. However, in an effort to offset costs and get the casino opened as fast as they could they choose to keep the Dennis Hotel, which would serve as the hotel for Ballys. As part of the licensing process and investigation into alleged ties to the Mafia, the New Jersey Casino Control Commission stipulated that Bally's Chairman and CEO William O'Donnell would be required to step down and sell all interest in the company. This was the second time the commission took this action, the first was when Clifford Perlman, Chairman of Caesars World Inc. and his brother were required to resign.
