Trump Entertainment Resorts has terminated the agreement with Coastal Development to buy the Trump Marina and Casino and turn it into a Margaritaville-themed casino:

Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. decided today to terminate its purchase agreement with Coastal Development L.L.C. of New York to acquire the Trump Marina Casino in Atlantic City.

The deadline to complete the deal was Thursday. When that date came and went, the two sides said they would continuing talking.

That apparently changed today.

“We are disappointed with Trump Entertainment Resort Inc.’s letter today to terminate our agreement to acquire the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino,” said a statement released by Coastal Marina L.L.C., an affiliate of Coastal Development, about 4 p.m. “It had been our hope to continue a dialogue with Trump Entertainment about modifying the agreement to reflect current economic realities, but regrettably they chose instead to send this letter. We remain committed to Atlantic City as the perfect market for a Margaritaville project.”

Today is the deadline for Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. and Coastal Marina, LLC to complete the sale of the Trump Marina and Casino in Atlantic City. Coastal Marina and Jimmy Buffett have plans to turn it into a Margaritaville Casino.

New York gaming group Coastal Marina LLC is facing a deadline today to complete the purchase of Trump Marina, the weakest performer in the bankrupt casino empire once controlled by Donald Trump.

Coastal Marina wants to team up with Jimmy Buffett to transform Trump Marina into a Margaritaville-themed casino inspired by the singer’s “Margaritaville” hit song from the 1970s.

Trump Entertainment, parent company of Trump Marina, plans to continue negotiations with Coastal today, but would not disclose Wednesday whether the sale deadline might be extended.

“The deadline has not expired yet, so we’re continuing to talk,” Trump spokesman Tom Hickey said.

The Trump Marina deal has been shadowed for months by speculation that Coastal was having trouble lining up financing in the tight credit markets. Trump Entertainment lowered the price last fall from $316 million to $270 million and extended the sale deadline from October to May 28 to help Coastal.

Update – The deal will not close this week:

A New York gaming group that is in talks to buy Trump Marina Hotel Casino says the deal will not close this week as scheduled but that it still wants to acquire the property.

Coastal Marina LLC is facing a deadline today to complete the $270 million purchase from Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc. Both sides say they continue to negotiate, but there was no word whether the sale deadline will be formally extended.

“I remain fully committed to our Margaritaville concept and very bullish on the long-term outlook for Atlantic City,” Coastal Chairman Richard T. Fields said in a statement.

The official word is finally in… the West Coast shows in October (San Diego, Seattle, and two Las Vegas shows) have been canceled. Here is the word from Margaritaville.com:

It has come to our attention that some fans have been disappointed to find that the shows tentatively scheduled for October are no longer going to happen due to unanticipated scheduling conflicts. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you and look forward to seeing you back in Las Vegas and on the West Coast in 2010!
