Atlantic City

Between 1995 and 2000, flamboyant developers Donald Trump and Steve Wynn were at the center of a high stakes battle for a piece of prime Atlantic City real estate. Both Trump Resorts and Mirage Resorts spared no expense and pulled no punches in the quest to build a top-level casino and hotel there. Richard “Skip” Bronson, who sat of the board of Mirage and was president of New City Development Company, a Mirage subsidiary, offers an inside account of that battle in his new book, The War at the Shore: Steve Wynn, Donald Trump, and the Epic War to Save Atlantic City. Bronson discusses and signs copies of his book at 7 p.m. at .
