Golden Nugget Atlantic City Celebrates Transformation

The Golden Nugget Atlantic City is ready to celebrate the head-to-toe  renovation that is part of the transformation from what used to be known as the Trump Marina.  Although the changes have been gradually added over the past year, a Grand Opening Kick-Off Weekend is scheduled for April 26-29 with appearances by Third Eye Blind, Whoopi Goldberg and a cake supplied by “Cake Boss” Buddy Valastro.

The process of becoming the Golden Nugget Atlantic City has been much more complex than throwing some paint on a few walls.  All of the guest rooms are beneficiaries of a switch to a more modern decor.  There are lots of great views from Atlantic City’s hotels, but the Golden Nugget has something a little different as it overlooks the Atlantic City marina.

The Golden Nugget hotels are owned by Landry’s Inc., a company that operates a wide variety of restaurants, so it makes sense that the restaurants have been transformed into some of Landry’s more popular brands.  The featured restaurant overlooking the marina is now The Chart House, specializing in seafood.  Vic & Anthony’s is a popular steakhouse in Houston – and now in Atlantic City.  The Red Sushi Bar is also a transplant from Texas.  The company CEO recently spent some time in France and came back with the idea for Michael Patrick’s Brasserie (named after his sons).  And it wouldn’t be Atlantic City without a buffet so there’s The Buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The real money-making side of the operation – the casino – hasn’t been ignored.  The 65,000 square foot main casino floor has been re-carpeted, redesigned and many older slot machines have been replaced.  The new poker room is open and is the site of a $10,000 guaranteed no-limit hold ’em tournament every Saturday afternoon plus cash games and smaller daily tournaments.
