Trump Taj Mahal to begin liquidation sale

The Trump Taj Mahal, US-President’s former “eighth wonder of the world” will begin its liquidation sale to make way for a Hard Rock project.

US.- President Donald Trump was once a big businessman in the casino industry, owning several gaming facilities. Among them, there was “the eighth wonder of the world,” as he once called it: the Trump Taj Mahal, which will begin its liquidation sale Thursday before being dismantled to make way for a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Famous Austrian crystal chandeliers will be liquidated alongside furniture, poker tables, grand pianos and art. As the National Content Liquidators told The Associated Press, the sale will keep going until everything has been sold.

The Taj Mahal casino opened in Atlantic City in 1990 and was, back then, the largest venue in the world. It was also the highest-grossing casino until 2003, when the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa opened. The venue was oficially closed last October after multiple bankruptcies and a labor dispute with its union workers. Last March, it was sold for US$50 million to Hard Rock, that plans to open a new facility in the summer of 2018.
