This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 10, 2002 (the
"Initial Schedule 13D") and is being filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
13d-2(a) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed
to them in the Initial Schedule 13D.


ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

          I.   As reported in the Initial Schedule 13D, Mr. Trump purchased the
               Trump-Riviera Shares on July 1, 2002.

               On December 26, 2002, Mr. Trump purchased 8,000 shares of Common
               Stock of the Issuer (the "Additional Trump-Riviera Shares") for
               an aggregate purchase price of $37,970.40, net of brokerage
               commissions. The source of the funds was Mr. Trump's personal
               resources.

          II.  As reported in the Initial Schedule 13D, on July 10, 2002, Mr.
               Trump granted, at no cost, THCR Holdings a one-year option (the
               "Option") to purchase the Trump- Riviera Shares at a purchase
               price equal to the greater of (i) Mr. Trump's cost of acquiring
               the Trump-Riviera Shares or (ii) the fair market value of the
               Trump- Riviera Shares based upon the 20 trading day average
               closing price of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as
               reported on the American Stock Exchange preceding the exercise of
               the Option. If the Option is exercised, the source of the funds
               is anticipated to be working capital of THCR Holdings.

               On December 26, 2002, Mr. Trump and THCR Holdings amended the
               Option to extend its term through December 31, 2003.

               On December 26, 2002, Mr. Trump granted, at no cost, THCR
               Holdings an option (the "Additional Option") to purchase the
               Additional Trump- Riviera Shares at a purchase price equal to the
               greater of (i) Mr. Trump's cost of acquiring the Additional
               Trump-Riviera Shares or (ii) the fair market value of the
               Additional Trump-Riviera Shares based upon the 20 trading day
               average closing price of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
               as reported on the American Stock Exchange preceding the exercise
               of the Additional Option. If the Additional Option is exercised,
               the source of the funds is anticipated to be working capital of
               THCR Holdings. The Additional Option expires on December 31, 2003
               and must be exercised concurrently with the Option in whole and
               not in part.

          III. THCR, by virtue of being the general partner of THCR Holdings,
               may be deemed to beneficially own THCR Holdings' Option and
               Additional Option and the underlying Trump-Riviera Shares and
               Additional Trump-Riviera Shares, respectively.


ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          I.   Mr. Trump purchased the Trump-Riviera Shares and the Additional
               Trump-Riviera Shares for investment purposes. Mr. Trump has no
               current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any
