The former real estate developer has owned up to four casinos in the northeast gambling capital: apart from Trump Plaza there was also Trump World's Fair which closed in 1999, Trump Marina which was sold by creditors in 2011, and the Trump Taj Mahal which closed in 2016. Trump had already filed a lawsuit in 2014 asking that his name be removed from the building's facade, believing its presence there was bad for the Trump name and brand. Icahn has not said what he will do with the land once the building is destroyed. In mid-June, Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small announced the building's demolition, after taking legal action over what he considered to be a danger to residents. Since 2016, the two-building complex has belonged to billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who was one of Trump's main Atlantic City financiers. On several occasions during storms, pieces of its exterior have fallen onto the seaside promenade that runs alongside the building. By 1988, Atlantic City casinos had produced 2.37 billion of revenues for the government, which went above Las Vegas’ 1.9 billion in the same year. The last one to open was the Tropicana Casino and Resort. It opened in 1984 and has undergone little to no maintenance since shuttering. The Playboy Hotel & Casino (later The Atlantis), Trump’s World Fir, and Trump Regency opened in the same year.
