Which Atlantic City casino, opened by Donald Trump in 1990, filed for bankruptcy in 1991?

The Trump Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy in 1991. Donald Trump opened the Atlantic City casino in April 1990, promoting it as one of the world’s largest and most extravagant casinos.

The property was financed with substantial debt, and its interest obligations became difficult to sustain after the casino opened. Trump’s other casino businesses also faced financial pressure during Atlantic City’s highly competitive gambling market.

The casino’s bankruptcy was a corporate restructuring rather than an immediate closure. Trump later surrendered control of the property as part of a debt agreement, while the resort continued operating under new ownership.

The Trump Taj Mahal is distinct from Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, another Atlantic City property that also experienced later financial difficulties. The two casinos had separate corporate histories.
