While Trump Soho seems to be doing well, the same cannot be said for the The Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.

On Friday, both the hotel and casino closed for the weekend after a leak was discovered in the water main that provided cooled water to the AC units. In other words, no one would want to seek respite from the 90-degree heat and humidity in a casino with no air conditioning, nor could they survive.

The same thing happened over at nearby Caesars Palace but they were able to remain open with the help of generators.]]> juliana 2010-07-19T08:36:09-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/2/15/224557/180

[UPDATE:: Trump Entertainment has filed for bankruptcy.]

On Friday, Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka resigned from their positions on the board of Trump Entertainment Resorts due to a dispute with the bondholders of the the company. Trump Entertainment Resorts owns the Taj Mahal, Trump Plaza and Trump Marina in Atlantic City, although the Trump Marina is under contract to be sold.

Donald and his daughter resigned because tomorrow is the day that a $53 million dollar interest payment is due, and it's widely expected that the company will default on it, putting Trump Entertainment into bankruptcy for the third time over the past two decades. ]]> AndrewC 2009-02-16T09:16:05-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2004/12/3/12433/4069 Last night the Donald proclaimed on "The Apprentice" that his Central Park hotel was "the most magnificent in the world, number one".

Well, he must have convinced at least a couple of his banker friends down in Dallas that the rest of his hotels were nearly as "magnificent".

This week Beal Bank, out of Dallas, agreed to loan Trump $100mm for the Trump Hotel & Casino Resorts Inc. recapitalization plan.
