If anyone really believes any of the BS in this release, I got some ocean front property in AZ I'll sell you. It says it will be "completed" by this fall... really? Gee... didn't see much renovation going on while we were there. It says that this summer the docks are being redone and completed by fall... You mean they are going to take a lawn mower to them? Am I the only one that noticed there was no construction/remodeling going on there? HELLO?!

[/FONT]HOUSTON – May 24, 2011 – Tilman J. Fertitta, Owner, Chairman and CEO of Landry’s,
Inc., parent company of the Golden Nugget Las Vegas and Laughlin, announced today
that Fertitta Entertainment completed the acquisition of the Trump Marina Hotel and
Casino in Atlantic City.
"We hope to revitalize the Marina District area with our transformation to the Golden
Nugget, much as we have helped rejuvenate downtown Las Vegas with our Golden
Nugget concept," said Fertitta. “The Golden Nugget has strong brand recognition,
especially in Atlantic City, and we look forward to introducing our world class version of
this product to the market.”

[/FONT]Extensive transformational renovations to the property have already begun to give it a
fresh modern look, including improvements to the building façade, the addition of the
acclaimed Chart House restaurant, two new temporary bars and lounges with live
entertainment, and four totally updated model guest rooms. Soon to come, the high
energy Rush Lounge and a unique new After Hours Bar will complement the poker
room, race book, keno room, spa and renovated showroom complete with plush, theater
style seating. The Red Room will be the newest hot spot in New Jersey and the ultimate
place to see and be seen starting Memorial Day weekend. For those who want to enjoy
the outdoors, an innovative H2O Pool and Ultra Lounge will offer all season hot tubs and
fire pits to deliver an exhilarating experience unlike anything else available in Atlantic
City. The Deck, which opened for the season on May 20, will turn up the volume on live
entertainment offering guests an opportunity to catch live music right over the Marina.
The updated rooms and suites will provide luxurious accommodations for the Golden
Nugget guests. High end retail boutiques will round out the resort experience. All
improvements are expected to be completed late fall of this year. This transformation to
the Golden Nugget, the only casino with a full service marina, will continue the
conversion of Atlantic City to a premier resort destination.

********************************************************************************************

For years, the marina has been in disrepair, with the wood docks falling apart and weeds sprouting up. It’s a far cry from what it was like in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Back then, boaters and yachtsmen with craft to 300 feet regularly pulled in. In fact, Donald Trump himself had his 282-foot Trump Princess (now Kingdom 5KR) appear dockside in summertime.
While this summer will see renovations of everything from the marina’s showers and bathrooms to the docks themselves, Landry’s CEO plans to bring his Westport into town come this fall. Tilman Fertitta is the proud owner of the 164-foot Boardwalk, seen above, which was delivered last year. She’s the seventh in Westport’s 50-Meter series, formerly called the W164 series. She’s also Fertitta’s third Westport, having owned a 130 and a 112 previously.
An article in the Press of Atlantic City quotes Fertitta as saying, “Being a yacht owner myself, I will make sure that (the marina) will operate on a very high level.” Amy Chasey, vice president of marketing for Golden Nugget Las Vegas, backs this up, quoted in the same article as saying, “We’re going to operate it better than Trump.”
Fertitta says he’ll have Boardwalk arrive in Atlantic City in October, remaining there for a few weeks. By that time, the rest of the marina’s amenities will be updated. They include pump-out stations, gas and diesel fuel, and connections for telephone, cable television, water, and 100 amps of electricity. Overall, Landry’s plans to operate the marina similarly to how it runs its 424-slip Kemah Boardwalk Marina in Galveston Bay, Texas.

Gary, at the Marina no! When you walked into the Hotel on the Right they had the shopping area closed off and they were definitely doing Construction! I know Construction Noises... I'm an Expert, because the Admiral bought me a Hammer for Christmas!!! :grin:
 
Doesn't matter to me.... I doubt I'll go back to AC... but that might be a good reason to hold it in AC. I'm not dealing with the attitude there... If you recall, they wouldn't seat us at the Chart House either... My only assumption was because we had our kids with us. Plenty of other towns that would like me to dump a couple grand on fuel, food, souvenirs and dockage in a night.

I couldn't even check out when I left there Sunday. The girl said I "canceled" my reservation and so she wanted a credit card and said they would figure something out and just charge my card. Stupid me gave her my card... and I have no receipt... and no idea how much I was charged yet.

I have a gut feeling I'll have some new dock boards and a power pole charged to my card now.

I think... and it doesn't happen often, that AC is the biggest bang for our buck in the northeast! I would love and probably will go to Annapolis and BIH, and eventually back to my CG & Navy Roots on the James and Chesapeake! But, thats a long trip in a 310da that breaks down evertime we go out on it!
 
Didn't we wind up with $2/ft somehow? Bugsy may be right!
 
With me it's not so much the cost as it is the Facilities and the Venue. The Admiral doesn't do Camping and same with me after 26 years in the Military!!!!! That's why AC was great, if she didn't like the "Accommodations" we would have booked a room in the Borgata!

Realistically, out of 30+ boats we'll be lucky to have only couple of boats going.
 
Rick everyone thinks I was using my camera but I was using your camera. When do you think the pic's will be posted some where.
