As a former Casino Worker, when this happens, it put not only 1 worker out of a job, but entire families that work in one Casino. Some of the Born & Raised Atlantic City residents feel the wrath of losing their jobs at a Casino. My entire department at Harrah's moved to Baton Rouge without any promise of a job. I still Love Atlantic City with all my Heart. It Must survive these hard hit times.

From the history of its construction it seems the plans were overly ambitious. So I can't blame the unions or the last owners. It truly was doomed to end. Sorry, Chump. It's not the 8th Wonder of the World. But the real Taj Mahal is still standing and appreciated.

What killed AC was the fact NYC opened casinos . Without NYC money AC would have never existed to begin with . I personally loved AC but I feel if the workers met the union halfway it probably would have still been opened.

Really hope Hard Rock turns this property around under their ownership and the workers who lost their jobs can get their jobs back. There were other complicated problems outside of the strike over the course of time which lead to its demise. The property barely had money to keep afloat let alone try to compensate the workers but since they continued to lose money, they were unable to strike a deal for the workers and ultimately led to its closure.

@rebeccahancock74063 жыл бұрын
Stop using one line phases and do your research. From the start the casino had to clear $2M per day just to break even due to excessive construction costs. Then Trump tried to hide the loses by purchasing million more in junk bonds. Right a few thousand for people to live a livable wage caused the closure.
