Trump never had a huge interest in casinos, financially. His name was the big deal. More propoganda to destroy.
But wow!! I had some good times there. Met Chuck Zito there and got autograph :)
If the Golden Nugget closes down, i’ll head to the basement with a grand worth of Black Label and relive the good times in my had :(

Icahn replied, "What is my obligation? I give hundreds of millions to charity, but this is a business; it's not a charity. They look at this as my responsibility, and I'm a bad guy if I don't give them what they want."
That's the story in a nutshell.

Even very successful people and companies gave us things like the Arch Deluxe, New Coke and Windows ME. You cannot have success without risk.

Atlantic City was doomed by casinos opening up in neighboring states. The overall business numbers have been grim for years.

In a fair world, Hillary’s best buddy Buffet would buy the Casino and keep it open so nobody loses their Jobs.

When I lived in Ct., we’d go there a couple times a year with friends, but I haven’t been to Atlantic City in maybe 25 years. Back then, the Boardwalk and maybe the block back to Pacific Ave was passable, but further away from the Boardwalk, it was pretty dodgy and you didn’t walk around there in groups of less than about 10 and that was during the day!
Frankly, I’m surprised that any of the casinos are still in business down there, especially given some of the plush Indian casinos that have sprung up closer to the big cities.

So the Casino Workers Union striked themselves right out of a job? Hilarious.

The only way a casino loses that much money is that the employees are skimming cash off the take.
