Hard Rock to buy Trump Taj Mahal, site will remain a casino

Investor Carl Icahn announced the sale Wednesday after The Press of Atlantic City first reported the deal. The site will be re-branded as Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City as part of a $300 million purchase and renovation expected to create 3,000 temporary and permanent jobs.
