The entry states:
"Soon thereafter the property was sold to Bally's Entertainment Corporation, which changed the property's name to "Bally's Grand". The sale was prompted by Steve Wynn's frustration with gaming regulators in New Jersey."
The sale to Bally's did not occur until 1987. While Wynn may have been frustruated with the regualtors, much of the motivation behind the deal came from Bally's desire to stave off an acquisition by Donald Trump. At the time (and perhaps still), nobody was permitted to own more than three casinos in Atlantic City. Trump already had two- the Plaza and the Castle (now the Marina). Bally's purchase of the Golden Nugget meant that if Trump acquired Bally's, he would own four properties (Bally's already had one Atlantic City casino), and would have to divest one, or at least shutter the casino portion (Trump later did this when he acquired the former Playboy/Atlantis proprty, shuttered the casino, and turned it into the Trump Regency hotel, which has since been demolished). This made Bally's much less appealing to Trump and there was never any acquisition.

Rationale: I've moved the article from Atlantic City Hilton to ACH Casino Resort because the property is no longer affiliated with Hilton Hotels and they have changed their name accordingly to the ACH Casino Resort. Please see article in the Press of Atlantic City newspaper at http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/news/breaking/don-t-call-it-atlantic-city-hilton-casino-resort-anymore/article_1665fc84-a369-11e0-857e-001cc4c03286.html.

Atlantic City Hilton → ACH Casino Resort – A user has suggested this article be moved solely based on this article. I think this is a premature move and violates WP:CRYSTAL, especially since the hotel's website still says "Atlantic City Hilton" on its homepage (in the social networking section, copyright notice, and browser page title). The article also states that "If the agreement is terminated, the property can no longer be part of the Hilton brand" which implies that it is not 100% definite. While a move may be appropriate in the future, it should remain with its current title at the moment. – Dream out loud ( talk) 06:20, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
