“It felt so good when I finally got the call that they were going to actually open [the club back up],” says DelVecchio. “Everybody kept asking me, ‘When are you gonna be in AC?’ And I didn’t know.”

“The first thing I did was hit all the cast members up,” he continues. “I’m like, ‘Yep, Atlantic City. We’re locked in.’ And they got so excited because they love to come to see me there.”
