Trump Plaza Casino Opens Again after Water Cooland System Breakdown

The July 19, 2023, By Harley Reid

The Trump Plaza Casino is finally fully operational after being shut down for the weekend. The property closed its doors due to a problem with its utility provider’s chilled water lined, which sprung a leak, meaning there was no water to cool down the air conditioners. The Caesars, The Piers Shops and Boardwalk hall were also affected. online casino news: Trump Plaza Casino Opens Again after Water Cooland System Breakdown

A temporary cooling system is now in place, but lossed over the weekend have been vast, estimated at between $3 and $5 million dollars.

"As you can see today we're still not where we should be. I Think it's going to take time before we get back to levels that we consider normal levels," said Rigot. In addition, the hotel is at 60% occupancy, when it should be 90% at this time of the season.

Caesars Atlantic City decided to stay open over the weekend, with its temporary cooling systems installed next to the property. Harrah’s, which owns the Caesars refrained to give exact numbers on how much revenue was lost, but they did say that the outage affected business considerably.

Roger Gros, Publisher of Casino Connection Magazine, says the air conditioning break down is going to have an effect on Atlantic City's image. And the casinos will ultimately be judged on how they handled the incident.

"I think they handled it great..Caesar's obviously wanted to keep business going they have loyal customers that want to stay at the hotel and gamble in the casino...Trump plaza did the right thing by closing down the casino because their casino is a little more compact and little more vertical and the air couldn't circulate in that casino as fast as they need it to," said Gros.

Gros also notes that it was good that the affected casinos had other properties to send their guest to during the cooling outage. Pepco Energy Services in a written statement expects to have the properties up and running this week.
