  • Golden Nugget Coming Back to Atlantic City

    Houston, TX– Tilman J. Fertitta, Chairman, President, CEO and owner of Landry’s, Inc., parent company to the Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Laughlin, announced today that Landry’s has agreed to buy the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. According to Tilman J. Fertitta, “We are excited to bring the Golden Nugget back to Atlantic City. Our plan is to transform the Trump Marina into a luxurious and exciting hotel and casino with the highest level of service. All improvements are expected to be completed by the end of this year.” Naturally, the Golden Nugget will honor all existing Trump Marina customer points and rewards, not only in Atlantic City but also in the Las Vegas and Laughlin Golden Nuggets.

    Pending regulatory approvals necessary to complete the purchase, Landry’s plans to immediately make exciting and dramatic changes to the property and transform the hotel-casino into a Golden Nugget resort destination in the upscale Marina District next to Borgata and Harrahs.

    The new Golden Nugget, the only casino with a full service marina, will continue the transformation of Atlantic City into a premier resort destination and feature a number of Landry’s award-winning restaurant concepts including Chart House overlooking the huge marina, Red Sushi, Lillie’s Asian Cuisine and Noodle Bar and the nationally acclaimed Grotto Italian Ristorante and Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse.

    The entire property will be updated with a fresh modern look to include new bars and lounges with live entertainment, stylish retail offerings and totally updated rooms and suites. The high energy Rush Lounge and a unique new After Hours will complement the new spa, poker room, race and keno room, improved showroom and the innovative H2O Pool and Lounge, which will introduce all season hot tubs and fire pits to deliver an exhilarating experience unlike anything else available in Atlantic City. The updated rooms and suites will provide luxurious accommodations for the Golden Nugget guests.

    The Golden Nugget has strong brand recognition worldwide, and especially in Atlantic City where the Golden Nugget Atlantic City operated a casino-resort from 1980 to 1987.

    Since Landry’s purchased the Golden Nugget Las Vegas, they have invested more than $300 million to renovate and expand the property, continuing it as one of the top hotel-casinos in Las Vegas. The centerpiece of the Golden Nugget Las Vegas is The Tank, a unique pool and shark aquarium which has been recognized as one of the top ten hotel pools in the world by Forbes Traveler and top ten most extreme pools by The Travel Channel. This stunning pool is open year-round for guests to enjoy. The most recent addition to the Las Vegas property is the Rush Tower which opened in late 2009 offering additional rooms and includes a Chart House restaurant featuring a 100,000-gallon tropical aquarium, and high-end retail shopping.

    The Golden Nugget Las Vegas is home to hit poker shows, Poker After Dark on NBC and High Stakes Poker on GSN, and also hosted a variety of reality television shows on TLC, VH1, Spike TV, and most recently was the setting for an episode of CBS’s hit series CSI. Landry’s plans to bring this same type of energy and notoriety to the Atlantic City property.

      I visit Atlantic City a couple of times a year - looking forward to the Golden Nugget there. They did a good job renovating the Nugget in Downtown LV - - -if I remember correctly, isn't that where Steve Wynn got his start?

      Thanks for the information.

        Yes. Wynn started at the Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas.

        He also built a Golden Nugget in Atlantic City. He sold it and uased that money to build the Mirage on the Strip in Vegas.

        The old Golden Nugget in AC is now the Atlantic City Hilton.
