According to Philadelphia Business Today the sale of the Trump Marina Casino to Coastal Development, LLC is likely dead:

Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc., the owner of Trump Marina, has asked Lazard Asset Management L.L.C. to shop the troubled property as part of its bankruptcy filing on Feb. 17.

The move has Coastal Development L.L.C., of New York, a potential buyer, crying foul as the May 26 deadline to close the deal approaches.

“Coastal Marina [an affiliate of Coastal Development] is troubled by recent reports that suggest that Trump . . . may be actively engaged in promoting the sale of the Trump Marina Hotel and Casino to other potential buyers in breach of its exclusive agreement to sell the property to Coastal,” company spokesman Charlie Leonard said yesterday.

Trump officials contend Coastal has not proceeded on making the purchase.

Under the deal, Coastal plans to buy and convert the Trump Marina into a Margaritaville-themed casino using entertainer Jimmy Buffett.

But the deal has been beset with problems as the economy and lending markets sagged over the last year.

The Marina sale was revised last fall, reducing the price to $270 million from the original offer of $316 million. A deadline to close the deal in October was moved to May 26.

CMA’s reigning Musician of the Year and Coral Reefer Band member Mac McAnally made a surprise appearance on Tuesday when he joined Kenny Chesney on stage for Chesney’s “Austin City Limits” taping.

They played “Down The Road”, their recent number one hit collaboration, and “Back Where I Come From”.

“Any time you can put the focus on the songs, it’s a good thing,” Chesney says. “And to be able to do that with Mac… well, it just takes these songs to a whole other level. I was honored that he’d do this with us, and I hope we’ll get to see him out on the road when he can get away from his own stuff.”

The show will air sometime in early Fall on PBS.
