I remember staying here. The rooms were nice but walking around the main casino floor and other common areas, it was just tacky, tacky, tacky! Never saw so much pink and purple in one place. The pool was nice but this place pushed the definition of "resort". Notice how some of these rooms have a view of another defunct casino, the Showboat. What a painful second death Atlantic City has been having.

Wow so sad. I stayed in one of those suites with my best friend about 10+ years ago. Sad to see it go but i’m sure it’s much better now after the renovations.
I stayed 1 year at the taj 1 year for my birthday (under 21) & I had the time of my life. Had 1 of those suites with a balcony Moroccan themed mirror on ceiling living room swing sofa 2 bathrooms jacuzzi in room & at 12 I had chocolate covered strawberries flowers and champagne surprised me by my parents through room service .. at that moment I wanted to own a hotel and casino. All politics aside say what you want about trump that hotel was beautiful!! This breaks my heart no1 compares
@@GoddessPucci Oh I Know. I have been following their story. They closed in 2016, I think, then recently reopened as Hard Rock. I live far away now, in North Dakota, but my wife and I still miss AC! :)
The first floor snd lobby was gorgeous. Great and cordial receptuon. All tge racism and corruption sunk into the ventures and properties of Trump Inc. Tgat doesnt hapoen with Ryder snd Shatptons group.
I WENT THERE LAST YEAR!!!!! It was not closed when I went there.I was 9 years old when i went there last year and it was AMAZING, and yes it was in Atlantic City, NJ
I was there in '07 playing slots and I got so drunk off cranberry and vodkas I snuck into the lounge bar and passed out in a booth. Security woke me up a while later and kicked me out .. lmao Good times ! I still have a few chips from there !
I once saw 'The Donald' land his helo, on the roof of The Taj . . . as a guest, next door . . . as a registered hotel guest, at the Showboat Hotel/Casino. Both closed, first Showboat, then the Taj ! 🇺🇸
I worked at Showboat 22 years and every time I had a chance to be on the roof/pooldeck I would shoot that helicopter the bird! many times double barrelled LOLING! I was one of the last out of Showboat and one of the very last out of the Taj!
My wife got her purse lifted from the shelf of a craps table here one night. She never got it back, luckily there wasn't much dough in it. Trump was walking by me and I never had the balls to ask him to help us out. I never could have imagined that one day he'd be the President of the United States! This was around 1990. At that time they had at least 30 craps tables I'm guessing. I'll never forget the All You Can Eat King Crab legs for $19.99. Thanks for the memories Donald.
Last time I was there, it was for a big convention! Me and the ex climbed up to the roof and saw the really nice view over the minarets. The pool was really nice too
I enjoyed your video regardless of how you filmed it. You showedcevery room option pretty much. Wish the penthouse suites weren't locked.. They have floor to ceiling windows on the top floor
Hard Rock is very nice but if I was master planning AC Id rezone much beach frontage replacing the old casinos for gated townhouses like towns to the north and south. This would bring more year round life to the place, create more security and generally improve the area in the long run.
Woah.....I honestly had no Idea when I went there in Dec. 2015 that they would be closed down less than a year later. I actually just found out there even closed!!
I went to the sale I got items from the 38th floor. You could turn the ac on and yes the toilets flushed I used one in a suite. Ya got to ya got to go. The toilets are huge old water guzzle I saw one in black maroon and white if they would of let me take one I would have taken one. I doubt if they keep them in the remodel.
I see nothing luxurious or opulent in this building. Very standardized finishes. Gaudy at best with choice of colours. I can stay at the Homewood Suites in Sudbury, Canada for about $150.00 per night for something that is finished to a much higher standard. Very plain, basic cookie cutter finishes and appliances, especially the heat/ac units. What we would refer to as “builder quality” in subdivision homes.
And Trump didn't cause this place to fail management, maintenance Atlantic City leadership and over saturation of competition both in and out of state. I still love ac and I'll be there when hard rock reopens my favorite place. I just loved the Taj. And I only stayed in the Taj tower never chairman tower. Just about the time I had the opportunity it was near the end and didn't get a chance to go. I hope hard rock does the place justice. The facade to me was never the draw. It was the size of the place and the views from the high floors.
I tried to watch but the camera moves back and forth too fast , hurts my eyes to shift back and forth so I stopped at 3:52 mark, right when it sounded like it was going to get interesting.
Im only 31 and even I feel nostalgic a bit for the Taj. The Midnight madness poker tournament was the first live tournament I ever played and it was a SHARK TANK. Also having been only an online player to that point WSOP main event were only images I had of a live tournament so when I got knocked out in like the 4th level I went around to shake the whole tables hand hahah because I thought thats what you are supposed to do
I can't believe he doesn't know what a bidet is I thought if you felt you should make a job informing people on travel you would possess a little bit of culture and intellect

Could u move the camera any faster
I was thinking the same thing.
Makes me sick
Dizzy
Yep was getting nauseous.
It’s not that fast
"I don't know why there are mirrors above the beds...that's weird." Oh you sweet summer child.
Where?
Mirrors on the ceiling. But!! Did they really have Pink Champaine on ice???
It's New Jersey, not California, so my guess is no.
Hahahahahaha!
What's so funny?
When you take movies please move camera SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, pleeeeease !
Ikr, I'm seasick.
yeah, use a DJI Osmo pls!!!
SOo annoying!
Ridiculous! He doesn't know how to do a videotaped tour. He gave me a headache with all the movement!!!!!

Sorry this was one of my very first videos! I’m working to improve! Thanks for the feedback!
Ole sweet memory at the Taj Mahal. My sugar mama drove me here from NOVA way back in 2001.
I stayed 1 year at the taj 1 year for my birthday (under 21) & I had the time of my life. Had 1 of those suites with a balcony Moroccan themed mirror on ceiling living room swing sofa 2 bathrooms jacuzzi in room & at 12 I had chocolate covered strawberries flowers and champagne surprised me by my parents through room service .. at that moment I wanted to own a hotel and casino.

It's open now. I have been going there since they opened in 1991.
JACK WILLIAMS the Hard Rock Cafe is open now but the Taj Mahal is no longer in Atlantic City
@@GoddessPucci Oh I Know. I have been following their story. They closed in 2016, I think, then recently reopened as Hard Rock. I live far away now, in North Dakota, but my wife and I still miss AC! :)
Not that luxurious in my opinion.
well you low rollers just don't know.
lol... agreed. he must have said luxurious a hundred times in this video
The first floor snd lobby was gorgeous. Great and cordial receptuon. All tge racism and corruption sunk into the ventures and properties of Trump Inc. Tgat doesnt hapoen with Ryder snd Shatptons group.
Drink everytime he says "luxurious"
Or opulent
I thought he was saying cavernous
Or canaverous. Lol
Drink twice each time he says "Canaverous" instead of cavernous...😅🤣
You must be on the border of tanked.
IT IS GETTING MORE AND MORE LUXURIOUS
The Ritz is nicer. 😂
whoa, whoa, whoa..... you seriously need to slow down your shots so we can actually SEE what you're trying to show us.
I live in AC I'm surprised you were able to go inside
I was actually stayed in that room a few times, $600 a night. It was called the Raja Suite.
IT WAS AMAZING! Great memories.
I WENT THERE LAST YEAR!!!!! It was not closed when I went there.I was 9 years old when i went there last year and it was AMAZING, and yes it was in Atlantic City, NJ
You are too young to be on the internet. Your parents hate you.
The room at 8:30 I use to be at at least 2 times a week for 5 years, so many memories in that room
Ya couldn't pay me enough to stay in that shit hole, even in the 80s
Big long Meat Why are you so bad and dirty minded?Little smart alic
25 years ago I was there.its heart 💔
I don't know why this video was so interesting for me but it was
Now Hard Rock Hotel looks completely different and looks awesome.
When it opened it wasn't even ready!
"Canaverous" is not a word.
We're you trying for 'Cavernous'?
Thanks for the motion sickness.
You haven’t even mentioned or shown the balconies those sweets have
I was there in '07 playing slots and I got so drunk off cranberry and vodkas I snuck into the lounge bar and passed out in a booth. Security woke me up a while later and kicked me out .. lmao Good times ! I still have a few chips from there !

I bet on the Don't all the time at dice, and I win more than the Pass Line suckers.
dontswin If your wife's purse was stolen from a bench on the boardwalk while she was sitting on it, would you expect the city to held you out?
Spent many summers here so I can't wait for hard rock to open.
clarissa krigger it’s open! Check out my video of the Hard Rock! Right here on my channel!
455 "I don't know why there's two toilets ..." Oh, you sweet summer child!
It's called a bidet.
Or as Andrew Dice Clay calls it, a c**t water machine.
great video!
The chandeliers in the casino were 10-30 thousand a piece.
Nah, they were just big. Maybe a couple hundred.
Last time I was there, it was for a big convention! Me and the ex climbed up to the roof and saw the really nice view over the minarets. The pool was really nice too
Are you in a hurry??? I'm getting dizzy !!!!
costs alot to renovate a massive hotel and bring it up to modern standards, probably cheaper to sell it. All these rooms look good by 90's standards
Someone has a video of themselves taking a shower there during liquidation lmao 😂
Need to put in slow motion to enjoy
Thanks for the feedback! This was my first ever vlog, please check my newer ones as I have taken all this feedback to heart!
I remember staying here like a decade ago
I enjoyed your video regardless of how you filmed it. You showedcevery room option pretty much. Wish the penthouse suites weren't locked.. They have floor to ceiling windows on the top floor
IT was tawdry, poor accoutrements, inferior room service...
so fake like everything with trumps name on it.
Now the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino
Is his use of the word “opulent” used in sarcasm? 😂
Hard Rock is very nice but if I was master planning AC Id rezone much beach frontage replacing the old casinos for gated townhouses like towns to the north and south. This would bring more year round life to the place, create more security and generally improve the area in the long run.
I can't wait to see it when Hard Rock opens!
This is a gorgeous hotel... it’s a shame what happened
It's open now.
Cool video!
U are moving the camera around way too fast!
this took some serious fucking balls to do, no matter how many ppl were involved in getting dude in. just wow
Im pretty sure I stayed in that room. Same view floor 28. It's a shame bc this was a nice casino.
Woah.....I honestly had no Idea when I went there in Dec. 2015 that they would be closed down less than a year later. I actually just found out there even closed!!
Rooms look like the Hampton inn to me. Nothing luxourious about it. lol
I've seen Hampton inns nicer lol
exactly and kinda cheap/tacky. with the glass above the beds
Trump never put money back into it. It was stuck in the 80’s
The taj mahal penthouse suites were the nicest in town. Get your head outta your ass
It’s a bidet! “I wonder why the beds have mirrors over them?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bwahahahahahahaha
Right?
Doi! Two toilets.
OMG slow down!!! Can't see anything!
There is so much luxury & opulence
I got motion sickness watching this.
I went to the sale I got items from the 38th floor. You could turn the ac on and yes the toilets flushed I used one in a suite. Ya got to ya got to go. The toilets are huge old water guzzle I saw one in black maroon and white if they would of let me take one I would have taken one. I doubt if they keep them in the remodel.
The bathrooms are all remodeled and beautiful
wjcraig78 Illegal to sell used toilets in NJ
Gotta love mirrors on the ceilings. Oh the opulence 😅
I predict in the near future you'll be exploring the abandoned Mar-a-Lago.
We got him now!!
"I wonder if the bathrooms work?", flushes toilet, "Yeah, they do." Lol, funny.
The city should have wavered the taxes to a very low amount to keep workers on payroll; take care of your workers they take care of you
I see nothing luxurious or opulent in this building. Very standardized finishes. Gaudy at best with choice of colours. I can stay at the Homewood Suites in Sudbury, Canada for about $150.00 per night for something that is finished to a much higher standard. Very plain, basic cookie cutter finishes and appliances, especially the heat/ac units. What we would refer to as “builder quality” in subdivision homes.
How much did they get for Trump's gold toilet seat?
And Trump didn't cause this place to fail management, maintenance Atlantic City leadership and over saturation of competition both in and out of state. I still love ac and I'll be there when hard rock reopens my favorite place. I just loved the Taj. And I only stayed in the Taj tower never chairman tower. Just about the time I had the opportunity it was near the end and didn't get a chance to go. I hope hard rock does the place justice. The facade to me was never the draw.

I see a lot of room lights on at night at many closed casinos?
Are people living there?
Locates a bag of coke behind the dresser & proceeds to do a line off camera at the 6 minute mark
‘What the hell is this thing?’ Ummm, it’s called A Chair?
One of them was Michael Jackson's Suite.
From what I heard it’s a hole in the wall.
I tried to watch but the camera moves back and forth too fast , hurts my eyes to shift back and forth so I stopped at 3:52 mark, right when it sounded like it was going to get interesting.
Hey Damen, this is James from Holy Spirit. How are you doing?
Good man! Hbu?
well, it's now hard rock hotel & casino
Im only 31 and even I feel nostalgic a bit for the Taj. The Midnight madness poker tournament was the first live tournament I ever played and it was a SHARK TANK.

Was it opulent and luxurious ?
Its cavernous! !!....not canaverous.
Hahahahahah!!!!! It’s absolutely not canaverous hahahahaha
I cant believe they didnt just make it into apartments or something as of today they blew it up and demolished it . SO SAD !!!
No - that’s the trump plaza. This is the trump Taj Mahal. This building is now the hard rock hotel Atlantic city
Apparently this all is to be demolished by the highest bidder now.
No, this building has been converted and remains open as the hard rock casino Atlantic city
there isn't any money to spend at this places anymore people don't have money like they used to
I lost ot what he say i have a new Strategy and starts runing in and out of rooms lmao and the door didnt open. Comedy at its best
It isnt a classy european hotel, not hás well furnished and not best quality. Just good old american flashiness and cheapness
joao rodrigues lol yep it was a shithole Trump never put money back into it. It was stuck in a time warp
@5:18 He did a hit of Meth and now he's on a roll with his Speedy Gonzalez Cam footage! 🤦♂️🤣🥄💨
Unbelievably tight security there, huh?
I can't believe he doesn't know what a bidet is I thought if you felt you should make a job informing people on travel you would possess a little bit of culture and intellect
Thought the same thing.
he and i have two totally different ideas of what "class" is....

Thanks for sharing this. I may be going today to see what I can buy. This was very insightful
GREAT VIDEO
I remember it very well
Interesting! You may want to consider voicing over some parts, you know, editing when you misuse or overuse certain words.
The word you'd LIKE to use to describe a large space is Cavernous...NOT
"Canaverous".
hehe a portmanteau of carnivorous and cadaverous in an alternative universe, perhaps...
Is there anyway of finding out when they are going to implode the tower?
they;'re not.. Hard Rock has purchased the property and plans to remodel it
Oh I found out its the Trump Plaza tower that is getting imploded in the spring.
@@Millenniumforce nah it'll fall on it's own first still hasn't gotten torn down
@@dr.wernerbrandes2991 says the douche watching his billion dollar casino video.
Today it was imploded. :-)
The whirling camera work gave me vertigo. Please let us see things, too rushed.
It's good exploring
But your videos too quick and too shaky no stable
It gives us headache
Please next time
Slow down
Samantha Brown's got nothing on you my friend. Good job!
You really need to stop moving the cam around so fast, nothing can be seen.
Got motion sickness from the filming😣
You need to figure yourself out, why are there mirrors over the beds?
Those are so gals can check your butt crack and figure whether you even wash properly.
Your turns are so harsh, it gives me motion sickness
I stayed in room 2800
No joke genuinely did
I wonder how many homeless people squat in these abandoned places?
Technically he's trespassing and its not abandoned. The building just isn't staffed. I gave no clue why the electricity is on.
