AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     This Amendment No. 1 amends the Report on Schedule 13D, originally filed on January 17, 2006 (the "Schedule 13D"). Unless indicated otherwise, all items left blank remain unchanged and any items which are reported are deemed to amend and supplement the existing items in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used without definitions in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

   Item 2. Identity and Background.

      (a) This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of Morgan Stanley, a Delaware corporation (“MS”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“MS&Co.” and, together with MS, the “Reporting Persons”). MS&Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MS.

   Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On April 5, 2005, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey, confirmed the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts, Inc. (the “Predecessor Company”), dated March 30, 2005 (the “Reorganization Plan”) and the findings of fact and conclusions of law, together with all documents and instruments prepared in connection therewith. The Reorganization Plan became effective on May 19, 2005, pursuant to which Morgan Stanley received 4,758,463 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in full and final satisfaction of their respective claims as pre-petition note holders of the Predecessor Company. The purchase price for the additional 714,780 shares of Common Stock purchased by MS&Co. was $13,310,958.1 Such price was funded by internally generated funds.

   Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     On January 26, 2006, Morgan Stanley spokesman Mark Lake said the filing of the Schedule 13D "was a legal requirement due to our increased ownership and should not be viewed as an indication of any change in our investment philosophy with respect to the company.”

     As a result of the Reorganization Plan described in Item 3 above, on May 20, 2005, MS&Co. received 4,758,463 shares of Common Stock. In addition, as of the filing date 714,780 shares of Common Stock have been acquired by MS& Co. for investment purposes.

   Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), MS may be deemed to beneficially own 5,473,243 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 20.16% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. MS is filing solely in its capacity as parent company of, and indirect beneficial owner of securities held by, one of its business units.

     For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the filing date MS&Co. may be deemed to beneficially own 5,473,243 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 20.16% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     The Reporting Persons do not affirm the existence of a group and are filing this statement jointly pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

     (b) By virtue of the relationship previously reported under Item 2 of this statement, MS may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by MS&Co.

     (c) MS&Co. has effected the following sales of Common Stock subsequent to those reported on the Reporting Persons’s most recent Schedule 13D filing:

Date   Amount   Price
01/06/2006   9,000   $20.06
01/17/2006   43,862     $20.16

     Other than the transactions described above, to the best of the Reporting Person’s knowledge, none of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons (listed on attached Schedules A and B) nor any other Reporting Person have effected any transaction in the Common Stock since the most recent Schedule 13D filing.

   Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

     Exhibit 1: Joint Filing Agreement


      1Please note that this number includes 47,973 shares of Common Stock purchased by MS&Co. from Morgan Stanley DW Inc., an affiliate of MS.
