ATLANTIC CITY -- The Showboat hopes the new 150,000-square-foot Expo Center it plans to open Memorial Day weekend becomes a hot spot for millennials.

The Atlantic City Fan Expo will feature eSport competitions, board games and video games, PressofAtlanticCity.com said. It will be open on summer weekends.

An outdoor sandlot beer garden will offer live music, movies and family entertainment, the report said.

The former House of Blues theater will also be part of the facility. It's being converted into a 3,000 seat facility for eSports tournaments.

Last weekend Caeasars hosted the first major eSports tournament in Atlantic City.

The former Showboat casino re-opened last summer as a hotel only.
