Local news outlet Press of Atlantic City reports that the Florida-based company will seek preliminary and final approval of the site of its new property. There are no further details on the variances sought by the gaming and hospitality operator.
Hard Rock bought the former Trump Taj Mahal casino resort from New York hedge fund investor Carl Icahn last spring. The company said that it would invest more than US$500 million to redesign and renovate the property, which closed doors in October 2016 amid prolonged workers’ strike and heavy financial struggles.
The shuttered resort will be rebranded as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and will have Trump Taj Mahal’s iconic minarets and domes ousted and replaced with Hard Rock’s logo and signature guitars. The renovated property is scheduled to open doors this summer.
