Standing on the boardwalk looking inland — if you leave things vacant long enough in Atlantic City it will revert back to the sandbar that it naturally is. I assume that this block long party wall was meant to abut another casino hotel. But this being Atlantic City, windowless casino walls become virtually permanent features of the urban landscape.
Showboat and its casino closed in 2014 along with several other AC casinos, but has since reopened as a giant plain vanilla hotel. Obviously, it can’t make money. These things have to be write-offs awaiting possible rebirth as rebranded casinos. What else is there? Perhaps, money laundering machines, which is almost certainly true of the former Trump casinos.
Meanwhile, the sand drifts.
