Atlantic City Dying Before Your Eyes......

Atlantic City is dying right before our eyes.

The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel closed in January. The Showboat Casino closed yesterday. The Revel Casino also closed yesterday. The Trump Casino will be closing Sept 16th. 

Donald Trump will tell you all about how his name is gold. Yet when a Casino (with his name on it) fails he wants to get his name off the failure as quickly as possible. That is why he is currently suing to have it removed.

Between the Revel and the Showboat 5000 people lost their jobs yesterday alone.

In 2012 the Revel opened to lots of fanfare. It was going to be the great savior of Atlantic City. The great leader of New Jersey (and hopeful presidential candidate) couldn’t say enough great things about the Revel. Here you can watch Chris Christies magnificent leadership in action.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on8hlpnkkAs

Whenever one of these giant monstrosities open (and there are lots of cameras and reporters) politicians love to stand out front and take credit. The Revel cost a cool 2.4 Billion but it was going to be worth every penny. Two years later…..Eh…Nevermind.

When these things close the politicians are usually nowhere to be found. Nobody wants to take credit for the failures…..But please vote for Chris Christie in 2016. He is a true leader.
