  1. You are correct, no date is given because the original name before Atlantis was Resorts International Hotel and Casino owned by Merv Griffin.

    According to legend, around 1,500 BC, the mighty Atlantis civilization was destroyed by a massive earthquake -- and it disappeared forever beneath the ocean named for it, the Atlantic. Ever since, romantics and scientists have searched for its traces but turned up empty-handed.

    Inspired by the legend, Atlantic Resort creatively and playfully interprets this lost world in the Bahamas, adding loads of luxe and gallons of glitz to the island's mythical history.

    Paradise Island was purchased in the 1980s by Donald Trump for $79 million, then sold to Merv Griffin for $400 million. It was last sold for $125 million to the current owner, Sol Kerzner from South Africa The current estimated value of the island is about $2 billion USD. In 1994, Mr. Kerzner made his first major acquisition outside Africa through the purchase of the Paradise Island Resort in The Bahamas. This 1,150-room resort and casino had fallen into bankruptcy. Immediately after acquiring the resort, Mr. Kerzner launched a major re-development and expansion program turning the Atlantis, Paradise Island into a 2,300-room resort and casino that also includes the world's largest man-made marine habitat, the largest casino entertainment center in the Caribbean, a world-class marina and other attractions.

    I hope this helps)
