Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City to close at summer's end

[Shizzmoney]

What used to be one of the world's most iconic (and nostalgically shitty) poker rooms & casino is coming to an end:

Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal casino, owned by billionaire investor Carl Icahn, will close after Labor Day at the end of the summer, the company said on Wednesday.

Atlantic City, once seen as a potential rival to Las Vegas as a gaming capital of the country, struggled economically after the Great Recession, combined with the redevelopment of Las Vegas and the construction of casinos in nearby Philadelphia. Inaccurate reports of the city’s partial destruction during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 dampened tourism further, and plans for further casino construction dwindled as a result.
