Glass, brass, and class. A centerpiece of a fledgling empire. An absolute delight to developers.
The Trump Plaza of the 1980s is a far cry from the nameless building of today, dismantled into a skeleton, awaiting the day it will soon be reduced to rubble.
The Wednesday implosion of the casino, which comes nearly seven years after the last slot-machine levers were pulled, is the final destruction of former President Donald Trump’s mark on Atlantic City.
Trump Plaza was the tenth casino to open in Atlantic City when it welcomed gamblers in May of 1984, seven years after the legalization of gambling in 1977. Trump, then in the early stages of his real estate career, pinned the city’s success on his building, which was his first foray into casinos.
