COMING SUMMER 2018 the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. Trump Taj Mahal Atlantic City Hotel was shuttered on October 10, 2016.

The Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City features one of the largest casinos in the world, $14 million worth of German crystal chandeliers, and when Trump built it his workers used 4 1/2 times more steel than was used to construct the Eiffel Tower. Impressed yet? Wait, there’s more. Trump utilized an entire two-year output of Northern Italy's Carrera marble quarries to adorn the hotel lobby, guest rooms, casino, hallways and public areas, and laid end to end, the entire Trump Taj Mahal building support pilings would stretch the 62 miles from Atlantic City to Philadelphia. It’s a wonder the God didn’t use Donald Trump when constructing the world in seven days, because no doubt Donald Trump would have had it done in three.
