Atlantic City, NJ, USA (April 10, 2012) /PRNewswire/ — As the month of April closes, the Golden Nugget Atlantic City will have completed an extensive $150 million renovation project in order to bring guests a more refined, modern resort experience – and Atlantic City, a beckon of pride. By transforming the failing Trump Marina into a world-class premier resort destination, resounding the strong Golden Nugget brand, owner Tilman J. Fertitta fulfills his promise to revitalize the Marina District, bringing new energy and economic promise to Atlantic City.

“The transformative renovation of the Golden Nugget will only increase the awareness of the already highly recognized Golden Nugget brand,” explained Fertitta.
With the addition of several new signature restaurant concepts, a six million dollar salon and spa, plus new lounges and clubs, gambling is only part of the multi-million dollar transformation.
