Just a follow-up to Michael knapp's reply regarding Harrah's Trump Plaza. The actual name of this single casino was "Harrah's at Trump Plaza" and it was located on the Boardwalk at the present Trump Plaza site. Harrah's already had their casino in operation out at the Marina at the time that Trump and Harrah went into partnership. In fact it was called "Harrah's Marina" for many years. Now Harrah's next door neighbor, former "Trump Castle", has renamed their property to "Trump Marina" and Harrah's has dropped their "Marina" designation. It gets curiouser and curiouser out there in casinoland! More recently, Tropicana, which became TropWorld, has now reverted back to it's original Tropicana name and has just issued a new set of $1, $5, $25, $100 Tropicana tokens last week, replacing those that had TropWorld on them. Still to be changed is the $2 token. Trop will also be issuing a new $50 token in the near future I'm told. Just to demonstrate how expensive gambling has become..... the original Tropicana had no $5 and up slot tokens. Their highest denomination was the lowly $1 token until the TropWorld series made their appearance. Playboy and Atlantis did not have any tokens higher than the $1 denomination either... and Playboy at the time was considered an "upscale property". Now we're up to $500 tokens in Ceasars! Can you imagine?????
