CLICK TO ENLARGEHISTORYThe Trump Organization began construction of the casino in June 1982. Harrah\'s, the gaming unit of Holiday Inns, joined as a partner a month later. Donald J Trump would oversee the construction, while Harrah\'s would operate the property. The property opened as Harrah\'s at Trump Plaza on May 14, 1984. The complex contained 614 rooms, seven restaurants, a health club, a 750-seat showroom and a 60,000 sq.ft. casino, all on a narrow 2.6-acre plot of land next to Caesars Atlantic City. Five months after opening, the name was changed to simply Trump Plaza, to avoid confusion with Harrah\'s Marina. Part of the reason for this is that Harrah\'s was commonly associated and attracted low-rolling gamblers, but Trump had built 85 high-roller suites, which were rarely used. The casino performed poorly, with pre-tax profits of just $144,000 in the first half of 1985. The poor results exacerbated disagreements between Trump and Harrah\'s, leading to Trump buying out Harrah\'s interest in the property for $70 million in May 1986. From Wikipedia.

To avoid confusion, after only 5 months, the Harrah\'s name was removed from the branding. The property became Trump Plaza.
