Trump World's Fair at Trump Plaza was a hotel and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey that was 280 feet and 21 floors in height. It had 500 guest rooms. It opened in 1981 as the Playboy Hotel and Casino,[1] then changed its name in 1984 to Atlantis Hotel and Casino.[2] The casino's gaming license was revoked on July 4, 1989 and the hotel was then renamed the Trump Regency. It changed its name again to the Trump World's Fair at Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino. It was permanently closed in October 1999 and torn down in 2000 despite being only 19-years old. The hotel's problems included a pool that leaked into lower levels forcing guests to use the pool at neighboring Trump Plaza. The property was sold at auction to Bruce Toll of Toll Brothers.
