Hard Rock shares Taj Mahal details
The international casino company that recently acquired the former Trump Taj Mahal facility shared renovation plans.
US.- Hard Rock International has shared inside details of the upcoming renovations of the casino Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. The company finished the acquisition of the gambling facility during the first week of April.
The Associated Press obtained a list of possible renovations that Hard Rock submitted to the New Jersey gambling regulator. The summer of 2018 opening might include restaurant and poolside gambling, fantasy sports betting, skill-based slots and hidden VIP gambling rooms. During a conference earlier this year, Chairman of Hard Rock International Jim Allen said that the proposal is set to create more than 1000 construction jobs and once it’s finalised, additional 3000 permanent jobs will be set in place. The renovated venue will change its name to Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
The opening would also include approximately 2400 slots and 130 gaming tables. According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Hard Rock International paid US$50 million for the Trump Taj Mahal. Billionaire Carl Icahn got for the Atlantic City-based casino just 4 cents on the dollar in comparison to the US$1.2 billion it had cost to Donald Trump in 1990.
