Trump Marina Sold - To Become Margaritaville?

Thats right peoples. Finally Trump Entertainment has reached a deal to unload its troublesome Trump marina property. A New York investor group is buying the property for just over 300 million dollars.

Is this the end of the world as we know it? No more Friday night bikini contests. No more hooters. No more singers hanging at the wave. Answer: I sure fucking hope so. What a tired ass property. It reminds me of the Tropicana in Vegas, out of date but still in a great location. With the Borgata across the street and the new town powerhouse Harrahs around the way and you add in the Frank S Farely Marina its location location location.

This purchase continues the inner city battle between the Marina and the Boardwalk. One wonders who will suffer the fate of the freemont area in the Las Vegas a relic of a distant past. The smart money is on the Marina. If MGM builds its just about the ball game.

Peace
AJ
