Landry's took control of the property on May 23, 2011, and renamed it the Golden Nugget Atlantic City.

Why this record matters
“Golden Nugget Atlantic City” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Golden, Nugget and Atlantic provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3541143. Authority coordinates are 39.379, -74.429. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1985, 1997 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
