Facilities also include an outdoor pool (seasonal) and shuffle board courts.

[edit] Sale and redevelopment

On May 30, 2008 it was announced that Trump Marina is being sold to Coastal Development LLC and converted into a "Margaritaville" themed resort.[1] The entire complex is to be renovated, and plans are not clear when it comes to expansion.

Coastal Development co-developed Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tampa and Hollywood, Florida. It is also the largest shareholder of Sterling Suffolk Downs). Harrah's Entertainment, which owns the adjacent Harrah's Atlantic City and is developing the first Margaritaville Casino and Resort located in Biloxi, Mississippi, will evidently not be involved in the Atlantic City Margaritaville Casino.
