Sneak Peek At Hard Rock Plans For Taj Mahal In Atlantic City
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Poolside and restaurant gambling, skill-based slots, fantasy sports betting and hidden VIP gambling rooms are among Hard Rock International's initial plans for their remake of the former Trump Taj Mahal casino.
A wish list the company submitted to New Jersey gambling regulators was obtained by The Associated Press. The partially blacked-out copy offers the first look at proposals the Florida-based company has for the shuttered Atlantic City casino that now-President Donald Trump built.

Hard Rock bought it in March for $50 million from billionaire investor Carl Icahn. That's about 4 cents on the dollar from the $1.2 billion Trump spent to open it in 1990.
The company also plans new slot products not currently available in New Jersey, but state regulators blacked out details.
A summer 2018 opening is planned.
