(Las Vegas).- The process of eliminating the former Trump Plaza casino from the resort’s skyline will still end with the boom of an implosion sometime next year. But this month, a demolition crew from Pennsylvania began the slow work of gutting the interior and taking down portions of the building in preparation for the implosion.
The 10.5-acre property is owned by billionaire Carl Icahn. The process of eliminating the former Trump Plaza casino from the resort’s skyline will still end with the boom of an implosion sometime next year.
But this month, a demolition crew from Pennsylvania began the slow work of gutting the interior and taking down portions of the building in preparation for the implosion.
On Monday, a small group of evangelical marchers, urging people to repent, noisily walked by along Pacific Avenue with signs and bullhorns, an event apparently unrelated to the work at the once-iconic casino.
Equipment from Haines & Kibblehouse and large mounds of dirt were on the property. Demolition had begun at part of a lower level next to one of the towers.
The entire property, including its Boardwalk frontage, has been fenced off. A Rainforest Cafe in a separate building on the property continues to operate on the Boardwalk.
Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino opened on May 14, 1984, with a top-coated Donald Trump posing for photos on a casino floor of purple carpets, red walls, and mirrored ceilings and chandeliers. It closed for good Sept. 16, 2014, one of four casinos in Atlantic City to close that year.
