1996 THROWBACK: "ATLANTIC CITY"

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In an effort at revitalizing the city, New Jersey voters in 1976 passed a referendum, approving casino gambling for Atlantic City; this came after a 1974 referendum on legalized gambling failed to pass.
Immediately after the legislation passed, the owners of the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall Hotel began converting it into the Resorts International. It was the first legal casino in the eastern United States when it opened on May 26, 1978. Other casinos were soon constructed along the Boardwalk and, later, in the marina district for a total of eleven today. The introduction of gambling did not, however, quickly eliminate many of the urban problems that plagued Atlantic City.
Many people have suggested that it only served to exacerbate those problems, as attested to by the stark contrast between tourism intensive areas and the adjacent impoverished working-class neighborhoods.
In addition, Atlantic City has been less popular than Las Vegas as a gambling city in the United States. Donald Trump helped bring big name boxing bouts to the city to attract customers to his casinos. The boxer Mike Tyson had most of his fights in Atlantic City in the 1980s, which helped Atlantic City achieve nationwide attention as a gambling resort. Numerous highrise condominiums were built for use as permanent residences or second homes. By end of the decade it was one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States.

90’s Atlantic City thrived. Most Hotels costly, “Clean”, safe. Today’s AC? Total dump and NOT safe.
1990s AC was a war zone, still sucks now but the 90s was way worse.
$6.5 Billion went to the town in taxes and it is still a shit hole.
"they" LIED, AS PER USUAL....💩👹
The casinos need to give back to Atlantic City.
you must be poor
its their money ,why should they subsidize local government. yes the casinos should double the paychecks that will help the people. the casinos are just fronts for organized crime. every few weeks they replace the fronts of buildings with new fronts new furnishings, then they do it all over again. check florida ,arizona. former politicians and their families are now living large, how the hell does a super market cost 5 million dollars? and those blacks who didnt want to lose their homes to a tunnel they should have just offered to build duplicates somewhere else. the cost would be al most zero with mob construction bosses being paid off.
We need small business I agree but we need casinos to go to too. We need balance.
@Elena Mae Please keep your racist bs to yourself. It’s not just black people, it’s the dimwit tourists who believe(s/d) that they’d get rich on a machine.
@@thomasdelvin3683 when the casinos are getting free subsidized support for land and development, then yes you should be giving back more money to the area, not occupying the place and reaping all the rewards
I'm from South Jersey. I remember when everybody loved Donald Trump, even in Europe. Especially France. I don't like rich people, so I never thought much of him. But I'm here to tell you, back in the early to mid-90's, "The Donald" was a hero. How times do change!
Bro, Trump was the shit in the 80's and 90's... never heard him being called a racist and white supremacist back then! He was the GOAT, a Master of the Universe!
btw Hezakya you bat it out of the park once more.
Why they don't like him now?
@@sophinal the media brainwashing.
vegasdime brown Most of the media is controlled by democrats. Trump was a Democrat but switched to Republican when he ran for president. The democrats are still furious about Hillary losing, so now they are trying to destroy him.
William Sauer Rappers, especially New York rappers, used to pay tribute to Trump in their songs. They loved him. Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan called himself “The Black Trump” in the song Incarcerated Scarfaces.
1996 is not that long ago, seems like it is only 3 years ago.
The politicans and the casino commission sold A.C. out it's in the worst condition ever. They never built the super market there's no skating rink,bowling alley or movie theater for the local residents. It's a shooting or stabbing every other day and Atlantic & Pacific ave looks like the Michael Jackson thriller music video. Smh 🤦🏿♂️
Dude, I was born in Atlantic City. Everything ever tried for the residents was destroyed by the black.
There is a supermarket on Atlantic avenue
Wow, the old days, Vegas, Atlantic City, Don Rickles...a scotch on the rocks....damn
Scotch on the rocks 😂😂
12:00 They offered twice the value of the property, but not as much as the house was worth to her sentimentally. It’s not just a house, it’s her home where she’d lived for years. Memories, a place for the grandkids to visit. I’m surprised none of them thought it was cruel to even ask these people for a price.
And face it... the house was a nice looking one at that. Far away enough from the state streets
I remember, as a kid in the 60's/70's, going to my grandparent's place on St. Charles Place before the house was torn down. The house was beautiful and 4 houses from the Boardwalk. After they came in and tore it all down, a block or so area remained empty lots for years.
The last time I went down there (early 2000's), some guy on the street we were waiting for a Jitney with, was advising us on which streets to avoid. This was not the ACY I grew up with. Yeah, there were tough neighborhoods but nothing like this. They did a heckuvah lot more that dislocate people. They destroyed the town because they had no plan for its residents. ACY used to be a place to bring the family. They fucked it up from the get go.
At least the house that my grandparents moved to -- further uptown between Atlantic and Ventnor -- was still there. May have to go down to check if it's still there.
Wynn fucked up Everett, MA, too Did the same thing with remediation that he's done here. The traffic on 99 already sucked. Can't believe they put Encore in where they did...
Pacific avenue should be a major street with condos and office space. Unfortunately it isn’t. And there’s plenty of empty lots close to the boardwalk.
The US is starting to look like a failed casino.
AC gambling revenue peaked in 2006. Since then, new casinos in Pennsylvania and other neighboring states cut that amount in half. New Jersey put all their AC eggs in the gambling basket and it blew up in their face.
online gambling.
Wynn played them :D
Yes he did......
Politicians have always been crooked.
The 13 casinos of Atlantic City made more than all of the casinos on the Vegas strip!? Dam
Which means their slot machines aint oatin out shyyyt!
That was on the eve of the mega-resort boom on the Strip. You had Caesars Palace, the Mirage and then a bunch of older or dying smaller casinos. AC had the East Coast casino market cornered before tribal gaming exploded a decade later.
the unlucky number.
Back when AC was at its best!!
Mirage never came 🤣
The Have and The Have Nots..
Back door - Back Alley Deals. - Brown Envelopes
Stephen Weinberg changed to ( Wynn )..
Oh wow what a surprise. Another 👃🏻. Shocking 🙄
I visited Atlantic City recently in 2024. It looks like it’s not the same like it once was.
Always brining interesting content...staten island salutes u
I know that guy Coach Huff... He was my football coach.
The mob was involved
Trump! The only man to bankrupt a casino
Trump was so ahead of his time. Called them out for their shenanigans and at the same time said Steve should come because numbers said so. Called it.
And everybody misses him now as President, now we have the corrupt system's dried-up dull zombie Joe.
@@LarryFleetwood8675 Who’s everybody?
thats cuz he lost, he'd be doing the same exact thing if he got a free land deal
Trump is no hero to AC. He shafted so many contractors and workers in AC. He would never pay all of his debts. If you wanted the rest of your money you would end up paying more in legal fees trying to get it from him and he knows how to play that game well. He was a con man then and he's a con man now. He's only been interested in his own wealth and celebrity and he'd never have one without the other.
@@289rory People like myself: a gay, Asian Trump supporter/Trump Republican that understands Americans are being gaslit to believe that going from $4/gal to $3.29/gal for gas is a good thing, even though it's still way higher than the $2/gal we used to have when President Trump was still in office. And also someone who realizes how on the money President Trump was with warning everyone about the collusion between politicians bought out by foreign special interests, a controlled mainstream media, corporations, and politically weaponized federal organizations used to persecute any dissenters who disagree with the uniparty rule held by establishment Democrats and Republicans who sold out their own people.
I had a 96 Plymouth breeze had the metal antenna stolen
I love. Love everything about you Atlantic City you'll always make me question everything about my choices in life how I ever ended up broke under the boardwalk
You think that guy they interviewed at 7:00 will run for office?
“Local Atlantic City man runs for president”
The interviewer at 4:51 looks like Neil Dellacroce
Gotta be a real mafia fan to know that name! Gotti's old mentor.
@@FullyAutomaticAddict410 Sure. Must have been real mean for a tough street kid like Gotti to look up to him.
@@DigitalvideotoolsOrg Very! Mr. Neil (as he was respectfully called by Gotti and his crew) was Old school mafia through and through. Well respected in the underworld with plenty of hits under his belt.
Ha! That’s CBS legend Morley Safer (RIP)
Did any of this stuff ever happen? The part about putting a car road through the residential area seems familiar to what Amazon man wants to do underground in Vegas.
Yeah they built it opened in 2000
i drive on it every day while working
Well Tunnel is here! Money is everything and everyone has a price!
wow...so they bought the residents off
Holy shit, trumps a genius. There should be a golf course there...
This casino wasn’t built but that tunnel was I think that the tunnel u take to HarrahsCasino.
The casino was Borgata, Steve Wynn left before the tunnel was finished
Well this aged well.
I am ex Casino, and I have visited a gambling city, and also now dealers from there, and the majority despise working there, in it only for a salary, but the choice from many foreign well trained dealers, is always preferable to work elsewhere. Many people are desperate to leave Atlantic City, to be surrounded by millions of elderly ship hopefully of winning.
Why did a large portion of land get given away? Why does he have the right to lease part of his land, which he got for gratis?
#NO TUNNEL VIA PRIVATE LAND. A TUNNEL BENEATH DESTROYS THE NEIGHBOURHOOD FOR THE RESIDENTS LIVING THERE. IN THE UK ARE NUMEROUS OLD WW2 BUNKERS, SOME ARE EX MOD, SOME NOT IN USE, IT IS RIPE FOR FRAUD. THE CRIMINAL MINDS CAN ACCESS THE TUNNELLS BENEATH PRIVATE RESIDENTS, THEN THEY CAN HACK THEM, ALSO SELL ON THE 'MUGS IN THE HOUSES ABOVE' PRIVATE DETAILS = NO PRIVACY INSIDE YOUR OWN HOME = ID THEFT COULD ALSO OCCUR = CRIMINAL ACTIVITY = TRY PROVING IT WASN'T A RESIDENT ABOVE WHO SIGNED UP TO E.G. A CONTRACT, DOWNLOADED PAWN, ETC. THE STITCH-UPS ARE UNIMAGINABLE TO THINK OFF! IF THEY REALLY WANT TO PISS OF THE RESIDENTS ABOVE, GUARANTEE MAJOR UNREST, ACTIVISM, THEN PRETTY CLEAR THAT WILL BECOME THE OUTCOME. ANY TAKE OVER WILL NEVER BE WELCOME. CONSEQUENCES WILL FOLLOW. EVENTUALLY GENIUS 😂👌😊😉 ACTIVIST HACKERS WILL BE HACKING THE CASINOS TILLS, VIA THEIR EMPLOYEES, PIT BOSSES🥰...
OBVIOUSLY, EVERY PERSON INVOLVED WITH HELPING THE TUNNEL TO SUCCEED WILL BE AN ENORMOUS TARGET👏🙌🎯! EASY TARGETS WILL BEGIN VIA THEIR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN, FAMILY, HOUSEHOLD AND BUSINESS EMPLOYEES! WHERE THERE'S AN IDEA, THERE'S A WAY..
WHAT ELSE COULD OCCUR? THE ELDERLY SHEEP AND VISITORS COMING IN WILL ALSO BECOME A POSSIBLE TARGET🎯👏🥰
They sure did make that tunnel
I'm a Vegas resident lol!..the owner of Wynn in his younger days..smh
It would be cool if you could find a Scarfo and Leonetti Philly mob special.
He has them on this channel just look trew

I guess they never expected other states to get into the game and here we are today. No more Trump casinos!
A year later Trump and the mob had those casino's in the ground. The real deal 😷
Trump and the mob hahaha
And went bankrupt in less than 5 years! Fact. He still hasn't paid the money owed to banks or the employees and contractors! Just another fact. Allegedly.
No not true.. do more research..
Empire boardwalk anyone
Wonderful
Funny how things are either still the same or not what they expected
It's 2023 and they STILL DON'T HAVE A SUPERMARKET!😮
False statement
I I remember correctly there is a supermarket I think it’s shop rite or something like that on Atlantic Ave
That politician said he passed the refund bill after Wynn purchased the land and Wynn didnt know!! LoL🤔
Any politician would know better cause it will look like they are in cahoots... But if hes gettin paid by Wynn FUCK IT!!!!!!!!
We need President Trump in the house right now!!
Did Trump beat Wynn in AC?
trump destroyed AC . where his he at today
@@roncipriano8352 - But where is Trump in AC either?
@@roncipriano8352you obviously never saw Atlantic City before Trump … he made it something and the locals trashed it
Didn’t this casino go belly up?
No. MGM and Wynn built Borgata. Which is the highest grossing casino in A.C to this day
All of Trumps casinos: Plaza, Marina, Taj Mahal went belly up.
Did the tunnel ever go in?
Yeah it’s there today takes you to MGM borgata and harrahs … originally it went to trump marina and was supposed to go to wynns new casino but that is now MGM borgata
I think that it is a good idea
MAGA!
🍗
8:30 mark- Just a perfect camera shot of a lying politician
gormly looks guilty
Steve Wynn has always been the man
Man Trump did not change lol
Those people should get the money. Ac isn't worth it. Just like trump 😂
Bet he was grabbing all kinds of 🐱 back then.
Trump 2020..YYYEEAAAAHHHHH.
