Atlantic City is giving people the chance to bid on imploding President Trump s former casino in February. The Trump Plaza casino has been empty and deteriorating for the last six years.
Mr. Trump opened the casino in 1984, but it was closed in 2014 and fell into a state of disrepair. Bodnar s Auction, the auction house collecting bids for the planned implosion, labeled the experience to push the button and demolish the building as a once in a lifetime opportunity.
