Another Margaritaville?
It looks like Biloxi won’t have the first Margaritaville casino afterall…
Donald Trump last week said he is selling the Marina, one his three Atlantic City resorts, to Coastal Marina LLC, which will become Margaritaville Casino & Resort.
That means Parrotheads, the devoted fans of Buffett and the laid-back beach lifestyle made famous by “Margaritaville,” won’t see the new property until at least next summer.
Buffett also is teaming with Harrah’s Entertainment Inc., on the Margaritaville Casino & Resort in Biloxi, Miss., also featuring a Buffett-inspired theme. That $700 million property is expected to open in 2010. It will feature a state-of-the-art Margaritaville restaurant.
The existing property covers approximately 14 acres and includes a 27-story hotel with 728 guest rooms, 79,000 square feet of casino space and approximately 58,000 square feet of convention, ballroom and meeting space.
We will keep everyone updated as more and more construction is made at this new Biloxi casino and resort.
