One of the most emblematic casinos in Atlantic City, the East Coast Las Vegas, closed its doors after 26 years. We are talking about the Trump Taj Mahal that opened on April 1990 when the Republican canditate Donald Trump cut the ribbon.

The casino faced all kinds of problems like a strike from his workers and hurricane Sandy in 2012. Then the casino owners -Trump sold it in 2012- decided it was time to close and did it yesterday at 05:59 .

The poker community will remember it, specially the american players will remember the venue as the home of the US Championship. Big names such as Phil Hellmuth , Erik Seidel and John Hennigan played there.
