Trump Plaza Casino in Atlantic City to be demolished as early as 2020

Billionaire Carl Ichan now owns the property, and in an act that may mirror Trump's political fortunes, plans are now under way for implosion as the facade is now falling apart exposing decay and disrepair.

Area resident said, "I think it's a good idea to have something else finally here instead of looking at this."

I can hardly think of a better monument to failure than a failed casino. How in the living hell.

The Mister and I have been there. I'm not sure what I was expecting from Trump's casino, but I do remember NOT being impressed.
