Trump Casino is a name that has become synonymous with financial woes and questionable decisions. Located in Atlantic City, Donald Trump's casino portfolio included the Trump Plaza, Trump Marina, Trump Taj Mahal, and the Trump World's Fair at the Trump Plaza.
Trump Plaza opened in 1984 and served as a lavish casino and hotel. The hotel's amenities included a beauty salon, a health club, boutiques and shops, indoor gaming areas, and a spa. However, after just 11 years in business, the Trump Plaza declared bankruptcy, citing a "lack of capital resources and liquidity," and the casino closed in September 2014.
In 1997, the Trump Marina was purchased by Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts and opened as a replacement for the Trump Plaza. The Marina was located on the waterfront, featuring a hotel, multiple restaurants, and a marina. Despite the luxurious presentation and upgrades, the Marina was just 4 miles away from the Trump Plaza, and the competition was too much for the casino. In 2011, it was sold off and renamed the Golden Nugget.
The Trump Taj Mahal was Trump's most ambitious project. The casino opened in 1990 with a public performance by legendary boxer Mike Tyson. The $1 billion casino featured multiple restaurants, a shopping center, and a theatre. However, due to financial problems, Trump was forced to give up management control of the Taj Mahal in 2009 and eventually sold his shares in the casino. After multiple bankruptcies, the Taj Mahal finally closed in 2016.
The Trump World's Fair at the Trump Plaza was the last of Donald Trump's casino-hotel ventures. Opening in 1996, it featured a 2,500-seat auditorium that hosted performers such as Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, and David Copperfield. Unfortunately, like his other casinos, the World's Fair was a flop, and Trump filed for bankruptcy in 2002. The building was later sold off and demolished in 2006.
