In response to the recent closures of Revel and Showboat in Atlantic City, a one-stop resource center opens its doors Wednesday to the thousands left without a job.
Coming off of a weekend that saw two casinos close in Atlantic City, state casino regulators have given final approval for Trump Plaza to close later this month.
Unless a buyer comes forward in the final hours, two casino hotels in Atlantic City will shut down this holiday weekend, and local leaders continue to move full steam ahead with transforming the city's reputation into more than just a place to gamble.
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.
Atlantic City casinos will start dropping like flies at the end of this month, but the closures appear to be necessary right now for a market that has dwindled by billions of dollars over the past several years.
