In 1989, Kirk Kerkorian bought the hotel and the Tropicana Country Club, behind the Marina and across Tropicana Avenue from Tropicana and San Rémo hotels. As Kerkorian saw the Marina as a stable and solidly built resort, Kerkorian decided not to destroy the hotel, but to build around it.[1] The Marina closed its doors on November 30, 1990 and demolished on October 7, 1991, reopening as the MGM Grand in 1993.
