 While the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort may not possess the architectural magnificence of the famous structure in Agra, India, it is still synonymous with the best in Atlantic City gaming. Located at Virginia Avenue and the Boardwalk, the Taj Mahal is the first multi-billion dollar casino established in the city.
The gaming hall covers 152,000 square feet, offering more than 4,429 slot machines and nearly 250 gaming tables, including 68 poker tables and a state-of-the-art simulcast facility. Gaming at the Taj is among the best in the city, despite what may be considered gaudy and loud interior décor inside the casino. Nevertheless, when the sun goes down, the décor is overshadowed by droves of people from all over the globe, from high-rollers and sexy cocktail waitresses, to the average elderly slot player and packs of twenty-somethings crowding the Blackjack tables.
The Poker room is particularly lively, offering lots of action in a comfortable, elegant room. In fact, the poker room was featured in the 1998 film, “Rounders,” starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton. The gaming hall is general well balanced between table games and slot machines. Expect a crowd on weekends, especially in summer, causing a scarcity in low limit tables.
The 51-floor hotel consists of 1,250 guestrooms, including 34 non-smoking rooms. Other amenities include an indoor swimming pool, gift shops, cocktail lounges, eight restaurants, live entertainment, a fitness center, multi-lingual services and banquet facilities, to name a few.
The Taj has plenty of dining options available. A particular favorite is the Hard Rock Café, located right next door on the Boardwalk. There are also gourmet restaurants inside the complex such as the Safari’s Steak House, or more casual eateries such as the Sultan’s Feast international buffet. The Taj also provides headline entertainment at the lavish Xanadu Showroom and the popular Princess Lounge.
The Taj provides special meet and greet services for all overnight motorcoach arrivals. There is no waiting in line at the front desk. |
