Donald Trump adds Las Vegas Hotel to his Biography

After years of rumors and close calls, Donald Trump is finally an official part of the Las Vegas scene.
The name "Trump" now appears atop the Trump International Hotel & Tower, the first of what will be two golden towers, located on the northern end of the Strip on land behind the shuttered New Frontier.
Each letter is 20 feet tall and the sign as a whole is 140 feet long.
Tower one is home to 1,282 condominium units (no casino), that are fetching in the neighborhood of $1,350 per square foot.
However, the tower won't be occupied by its tenants until 2008.
Tower number two is under construction.

Donald Trump Biography may no longer include Trump Casinos

A deal to buy Trump Entertainment Resorts and its Atlantic City, N.J., casinos could be reached this week and Donald Trump said walking away could be hard.
"I've been here for so long," Trump told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's been really a wonderful journey."
Sources familiar with negotiations said Trump is asking more than $2.2 billion for the Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina casinos. The deal includes $1.5 billion in debt. He said he hopes whoever buys his casinos will keep him on in some capacity in the resort where he's been a fixture for 26 years.
"I'm one of the biggest developers in the world," he told the Inquirer. "But I have a great loyalty to Atlantic City."
At least four billion-dollar-plus casinos are being built and competitors are spending hundreds of millions of dollars into upgrades to lure more affluent players."The casinos have never been a big thing for me in terms of dollars," Trump said. "It's not a very large part of my company but it's an important part."
Trump said his share of the Atlantic City casinos makes up less than 3 percent of his net worth, listed at $2.9 billion, the Inquirer reported.

Bald not part of Donald Trump Bography

DETROIT - One of the world's most famous 'do's - considered by many to be a fashion don't - remains intact after its owner, Donald Trump, prevailed in Sunday night's "hair match" at Wrestlemania.
Trump trumped World Wrestling Entertainment owner Vince McMahon in the "Battle of the Billionaires" at the WWE's largest annual pay-per-view event. After the real estate mogul and reality TV star triumphed, he gleefully took the shears to McMahon's head.
Trump and McMahon didn't actually battle it out in the ring, but instead had representatives grapple. The winner, Trump's guy Bobby Lashley, bested McMahon's chosen wrestler, Umaga. Trump wasn't just a cheerleader during the match. He leaped off his feet at one point and drove McMahon into the ground, then pummeled him with some close-fisted punches.



Lashley's pinfall victory over the 300-plus-pound "Samoan Bulldozer" meant that McMahon had to yield to Trump's razor and the locks fell. Wrestling legend and current action film actor "Stone Cold" Steve Austin served as the special guest referee for the match at Ford Field, home of the NFL's Detroit Lions.
It wasn't all laughs for Trump, though.
After celebrating in the ring with a cold beer - Austin's preferred post-victory beverage - an unsuspecting Trump was given a "Stunner" by Austin - he had his head driven into Austin's shoulder. Lashley tended to Trump while Austin jogged toward the dressing room to the roaring approval of the crowd.
The "sports entertainment" event was held fittingly on April Fool's Day and was filled with loud music, pyrotechnics and screeching, flashbulb-popping fans.
The Trump-McMahon showdown was one of the featured matches at the 23rd edition of the professional wrestling extravaganza, which returned to Detroit after two decades.
Wrestlemania 3, held at the Pontiac Silverdome in 1987, drew 93,000 fans and featured a seminal moment in the sport, when Hulk Hogan bodyslammed Andre the Giant.
Sunday's event drew 80,103 fans, a new Ford Field record, breaking the previous record - 78,129 - set during the December 2003 college BasketBowl between Michigan State and Kentucky.

Donald Trump to sell off casinos?

Shares in the casino company that bears Donald Trump's name rose nearly 8 percent Friday on speculation that the casinos are up for sale.
Media outlets including CNBC and the Web site of the Star-Ledger of Newark reported Friday that Trump Entertainment Resorts, where Donald Trump is chairman, had hired Merrill Lynch to help assess several options — including selling all or some of the company's casinos.
Trump Entertainment spokesman Tom Hickey did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
But analysts said a sale of some sort would help the company, which emerged from bankruptcy protection less than two years ago.
A report from Prudential Equity Group said the company is at risk over the next two years because all of its casinos — Trump Plaza, Trump Marino and Trump Taj Mahal — are in Atlantic City, a place facing threats from coming restrictions on smoking in casinos, new slot machine parlors in the Philadelphia area and plans for machines at the Meadowlands in northern New Jersey.
"Nevertheless, the company has assets and real estate that could be attractive to a buyer interested in Atlantic City," the report said.
Adam Steinberg, who follows the casino industry for Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc., said one fix for the company would be to swap a casino for a riverboat gambling operation elsewhere to diversify its assets.
This is not the first time lately there's been talk of Trump doing a deal with one of his Atlantic City properties. Last year, gaming mogul Steve Wynn was reported to have been in talks to build a new casino on Trump-owned land in Atlantic City.
Shares of Trump Entertainment closed Friday on the New York Stock Exchange at $18.19 — up 7.95 percent.
