Personally I'd rather do a show that's really in NYC or Boston...not a distant suburb. Atlantic City is just too difficult go get to...

Good news - Revel is the only non-smoking casino in AC.
Bad news - Their management has made some very serious mistakes since opening not long ago, and they will be bankrupt in the not too distant future. As a convention organizer, I wouldn't want to give them a deposit very far in advance.
I'm not very familiar with NJ sales tax collection, but it used to suck 20+ years ago. Ask Julian. And the few shows in NJ in the red-hot 80's were not very successful on a critical level. For business results, ask MrEureka, who promoted one or two there (if I recall correctly).
A few years a show was promoted in NNJ. Didn't last.
AC? The travel logistics still suck for many, many potential attendees.
My take: Coinfest had a better demographic and geographic base and, sadly, couldn't make it. And the promoter (props to the OP)worked his tuchus off and gave highly professional support to both dealers and customers.

My response is a little OT but your "Good News" is the biggest mistake in your "Bad News".
If they held a coin show in the Revel, it would likely represent the most money the place has "brought in" to date!
What a corporate black hole..... sucking another bunch of millions of $'s out of the economy, while people who really need help can't find financing, etc......
Besides, wouldn't the salt air at the shore harm some numismatic items?

Seems all the large coin shows are somewhere else
Air + Train or Air + Bus ? or Inconvenient Air?
the only airline to ACY is Spirit Air.
You can fly easily to Philly, but then you've got a haul to get to AC.
Also, what are the state tax consequences in NJ?
Otherwise, I'd love to see a show in AC. AC has the sand + sea combination I like.
<< <i>How about a major show in Hartford, CT with the big three grading services?

As a new CT resident, I'd take one in NYC or Boston!

I give away money. I collect money.

Would be a great place for a PCGS members only show on the east coast.
