Trump Plaza Closes Its Doors Tuesday Morning
The casino industry has lost $7.4 million so far this year, according to The Press of Atlantic City.
The massive advertisement on Trump Plaza garage exclaims “The Center of it All!”

The fourth casino to close this year, Trump Plaza is a symbol of the struggling industry in Atlantic City. The industry lost $4.7 million in 2013, and $7.4 million this year.
