Last week I was reading an article on the transformation of Trump Marina into Golden Nugget Atlantic City where I saw an interesting comment from Linda M. Kassekert, chair of the Casino Control Commission, regarding Golden Nuggets status. “The rebranding of Trump Marina to Golden Nugget will help regain the property’s niche as a destination [...]

Sahara Blackjack Table Small

It’s been a fun week and kind of busy week.  For the first time since I moved to Las Vegas, I went out three nights in a row.  This doesn’t include trips to the strip where I’ll stay there for 3 days.  I got to see some cool people and eat some good food.  I’m [...]

Normally the Seven Stars Insider is a good resource for Caesars Total Rewards members, but his last email has information on how Golden Nugget Atlantic City will be starting new players off with some 24K players club points from your Trump (Marina) Chairman’s points.  Instead of paraphrasing, I’ll just pass on the entire email. Trump [...]

Another heavy east coast news week on ECG, but interestingly enough I really enjoyed some of the Las Vegas news on Vegas Chatter this week. If you follow me on twitter, you know how much I’ve been enjoying the coffee shop, Cafe Leone, at Tivoli Village. That will probably become my new coffee spot. The [...]

Golden Nugget Atlantic City Small

It looks as if the changeover from Trump Marina to Golden Nugget will be ready in just a few weeks and in order to attract people to the casino the Golden Nugget is selling rooms, during weeknights, for “free.”  It’s not really free, but it’s what I call “casino free.” This isn’t such a bad [...]

by Marc April 5, 2011
Borgata Room TV

Casino hotel rooms are usually renovated about every 6-8 years, so it’s not too surprising to see that Borgata is updating their rooms this year. More than 300 suites were redesigned last year. Renovations are now under way on 1,600 regular guest rooms, hallways and other parts of the hotel. Completion is scheduled for summer [...]
