Atlantic City Resorts Casino Closing

City

The bones of the Tropicana Casino & Resort Atlantic City are made up of the original Ambassador Hotel built back in 1919. The historic hotel closed in the early 1970s. Ramada bought it in 1978. In 1981, Ramada rebuilt the property into Tropicana Atlantic City, a 521-room hotel and casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. This was the fourth Atlantic City casino to close in 2014, after the Atlantic Club, Showboat, and Revel. The closure left approximately 1,300 employees out of work. The building was set to be demolished in the spring of 2018, except for the East Tower and the parking garage. Four casinos — The Atlantic Club, Showboat, Revel and Trump Plaza — closed last year. With the partial-year performances of those four included, the city as a whole posted a $341 million.
