On the Boardwalk.

Trump’s third property in Atlantic City, was wrapped in controversy
prior to opening as it was part of the fight between Donald Trump and Merv Griffin along with Resorts Casino Hotel
in 1988 over Resorts International. Resorts was developing and
constructing the Resorts Taj Mahal Casino north of Resorts Casino Hotel
on the boardwalk, but had run out of money and construction was stopped.
Trump was attempting to buy the unfinished resort, along with Resorts,
but Merv Griffin would not sell. Eventually, a deal was created between
Trump and Griffin giving Griffin Resorts in Atlantic City and the Resorts Paradise Island
with the unfinished Taj Mahal project going to Trump. The casino opened
in 1990 as the Trump Taj Mahal and remained the largest and highest
grossing casino in the city until the opening of the Borgata in 2003. The Chairman Tower opened in 2008, bringing the complex to over 2,000 rooms. Source: Wikipedia
