With the clock ticking, another Atlantic City casino could be closing sooner than later.

 

From bankruptcy to the electric company threatening to turn off the electricity, Trump Taj Mahal has had it's share of financial troubles.  Trump Entertainment also threatened to close the casino's doors by Nov 13th if a judge didn't allow the company to stop health care payments to it's employees.

 

Taking away health care and pension benefits certainly angered Trump Taj workers, to the point where they protested on the streets of Atlantic City, and some even got arrested.  Unfortunately, the news has gotten from bad to worse, as Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has told the Associated Press that the casino will certainly close.

 

'The would-be purchaser of the casino tells The Associated Press that the casino's finances are dire.

He says even though he won't back out of a deal he made with Trump Entertainment Resorts to acquire the Taj and pump $100 million into it, he wishes he never answered the phone when the company first called him about it.'

 

While there is no immediate plan to close the casino, it closing certainly could be looming.
