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.
Three South Jersey-area state lawmakers want casino regulators to force Trump Plaza and Showboat to stay open at least four more months to attract prospective buyers.
