The Wall Street Journal said Revel Entertainment Group, whose operating subsidiary runs the casino and carries roughly $1.2 billion in debt, hired law firm Kirkland & Ellis and investment bank Moelis & Co. within the past week, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Wall Street Journal also said Revel was bailed out by investors several times since opening in April, and this month revealed it had amended a credit agreement for the fourth time and hired Alvarez & Marsal, a turnaround firm that helps companies conserve cash and restructure operations.
