Jimmy Buffett

Jun, 23 2008

Margaritaville, halcyon figment of Jimmy Buffet’s musical mind, is about to become reality. The multi-millionaire’s next plan for his expanding empire is to create Margaritaville: The Hotel. The casino-hotel will be in Atlantic City where it will contribute to his impressive portfolio of good-time products which includes beer, frozen food, restaurants and, of course, Margaritaville tequila. Lest you forget his humble origins as a musician, Parrotheads will be relieved to hear that he intends to embark on his 31st tour shortly.
