Where do you see the city in 10 years?
More shopping, more nightlife, definitely more hotel rooms and most importantly a 365 day a year destination. Atlantic City: It's not just for summer any more!
What is your part in getting there? I create excitement. I would like to work in developing our appeal to a new generation of gamblers.
Tell us about your favorite AC memory.
OK, it wasn't Atlantic City but the best South Jersey memory had to be meeting my wife in Margate. She was hitting the beaches with some friends while on a break from the University of Pittsburgh.
What's your favorite website?
www.trumpmarina.com OK I also like www.cityatlantic.com
Do you play in the casinos? If so, what's your game and where do you play?
Unfortunately I have a KEY license issued by the NJ Casino Control Commission
- that precludes me from gambling in Atlantic City. That said, I love to gamble
- when I worked in Vegas I really enjoyed playing Texas Hold'em poker at The Mirage.
You've got two hours to kill on the boardwalk, what do you do?
I go to the Hard Rock Café at Trump Taj Mahal; listen to some cool music and have a pig sandwich.
Why should I go to Trump Marina?
The vibe - the place is a lot of fun. No better spot in the area than the Deck on a summer Friday evening. Is there something that I will only find at Trump Marina and not other AC hot spots?
Skinz! AC's first and only outdoor, open-air casino in now open on the Deck at Trump Marina. You have to check this spot out
- 6 table games and over 30 slot machines - play while listening to a hot, live band while enjoying the view of the harbor and the majestic Atlantic City skyline.
What's the wildest thing you've ever seen in Atlantic City?
I saw a 30-something kid turn a $900 buy-in into $411,000! That was wild. He bought a house with his winnings. It is a great story!
What three words describe Atlantic City best?
OK, I will bite: Always Turned On!
Dealer shows 17 you've got a pair of 8s - how do you play them?
I split them of course, but here's the rest of the story: I then pull a 4 on each and after doubling down, pull two snappers
- two 21's - a nice win.
