This Amendment No. 16 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is being filed on behalf of Mr. Donald J. Trump and Ace Entertainment Holdings Inc., a New Jersey corporation wholly owned by Mr. Trump and formerly known as Trump Casinos, Inc. ("Ace", together with Mr. Trump, the "Reporting Persons"), and amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons and Trump Casinos II, Inc., a New Jersey corporation formerly wholly owned by Mr. Trump, on June 22, 1995 (the "Initial Schedule 13D"), as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7, Amendment No. 8, Amendment No. 9, Amendment No. 10, Amendment No. 11, Amendment No. 12, Amendment No. 13, Amendment No. 14 and Amendment No. 15 to the Initial Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on April 25, 1996, October 16, 1996, March 26, 1997, April 30, 1999, January 18, 2001, July 3, 2001, August 10, 2001, April 25, 2002, June 18, 2003, August 12, 2004, January 31, 2005, May 23, 2005, May 12, 2006, February 18, 2009 and September 29, 2009, respectively (the Initial Schedule 13D, together with all such amendments thereto, this "Schedule 13D").

This Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Reporting Persons are making this single joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange - 3 - Act. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of New Common Stock, other than those reported herein as being owned by it. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Item 4 is hereby amended by deleting the last paragraph thereof in its entirety and replacing such paragraph with the following: On October 7, 2009, the Restructured Partnership (as defined in Amendment No. 12 to this Schedule 13D), the Restructured Company, BNAC (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D) and Mr. Trump entered into an Amendment dated as of October 5, 2009 (the "2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment") to the 2009 Purchase Agreement (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D, and as amended by the 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment, the "Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement"). The 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment amends the 2009 Purchase Agreement to provide that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein and in connection with the 2009 Plan (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D), BNAC and Mr. Trump will contribute additional capital of $13,937,300 to the Restructured Partnership for the purpose of funding the payment of such amount to holders of claims under the 8-1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 issued by the Restructured Partnership and Trump Entertainment Resorts Funding, Inc. As a result of the additional capital contribution provided in the 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment, a total of $113,937,300 in new capital shall be contributed by BNAC and Mr. Trump to the Restructured Partnership, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the - 4 - consummation of the 2009 Plan, which capital contributions shall be made as follows: (i) BNAC will contribute or cause to be contributed, through certain intermediary entities, $56,980,043 in cash to the Restructured Partnership, and (ii) Mr. Trump will contribute or cause to be contributed, directly and through certain intermediary entities, $56,957,257 in cash to the Restructured Partnership. The consideration to be received by BNAC and Mr. Trump in connection with the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement shall remain the same as that provided for in the 2009 Purchase Agreement, such that, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, Mr. Trump will own, directly and through certain intermediary entities (including the Restructured Company, Ace, TCI2 (as defined in Amendment No. 12 to this Schedule 13D) and certain entities owned by Mr. Trump and BNAC), 49.99% of the outstanding 2009 Partnership Interests (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D) and BNAC will own, through certain entities owned by Mr. Trump and BNAC, 50.01% of the outstanding 2009 Partnership Interests. The 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment also amends the "Confirmation Order Deadline", which is the date after which BNAC or Mr. Trump may terminate the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement if a confirmation order, in form and substance acceptable to BNAC, Mr. Trump and the Restructured Partnership, related to the 2009 Plan has not been entered by the Bankruptcy Court (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D) and become a final order by such date, from one hundred and five (105) days after the 2009 Plan was filed with the Bankruptcy Court to a fixed date of January 15, 2010. In addition, the 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment amends the "Partnership Confirmation Order Deadline", which is the date after which the - 5 - Restructured Partnership may terminate the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement if a confirmation order, in form and substance acceptable to BNAC, Mr. Trump and the Restructured Partnership, related to the 2009 Plan has not been entered by the Bankruptcy Court and become a final order by such date, from one hundred and eighty (180) days after the 2009 Plan was filed with the Bankruptcy Court to a fixed date of March 1, 2010. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions and the receipt of necessary approvals as well as the restructuring and recapitalization of the 2009 Debtors (as defined in Amendment No. 15 to this Schedule 13D) pursuant to, and subject to, the consummation of the 2009 Plan. The foregoing summary of the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement is not intended to be complete. The 2009 Purchase Agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Restructured Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Restructured Company's Form 8-K dated August 3, 2009, and the 2009 Purchase Agreement Amendment, a copy of which was filed by the Restructured Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Restructured Company's Form 8-K dated October 7, 2009, are incorporated herein by reference and the foregoing summary of the Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. This Schedule 13D does not purport to amend, qualify or in any way modify such Amended 2009 Purchase Agreement. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to, and may, engage or otherwise participate in any transaction or other matter resulting from, or relating to, the pending bankruptcy proceedings of the 2009 Debtors and/or any of the transactions or activities - 6 - described in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D in connection with such bankruptcy proceedings. In addition, as previously reported, the Reporting Persons may also, from time to time, effect open market purchases of equity and/or debt securities of the Restructured Company. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
