A once bustling, Mardi Gras-themed hotel-casino in Atlantic City, which is still trying to establish itself as a hotel (minus the casino), has a new idea: apartments.
As a bankruptcy court judge approved the sale of Revel to a Florida real estate developer, Stockton University students protested in front of its neighbor over Trump Entertainment's disapproval of turning Showboat into a college campus.
Harry Hurley has learned and confirmed that Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort employees have received amended federal WARN notices and the casino could close in December.
More than 5,900 employees will be out of work with the closings of Revel, Showboat and the soon to be Trump Plaza which is scheduled to close on September 16th.
There's a small glimmer of hope for the thousands of soon-to-be out-of-work employees at Showboat -- Caesars is showing the casino to an "interested party."
Earlier this week, Revel announced it would be closing its doors by September 10th. We now know exactly when Revel will close and it's before that date.
