This item is a collectible round serving tray made in Silver Plate by Towle for Trump Castle Casino Resort. It measures 11" across.



Consider for a moment that the current Golden Nugget Casino is the second time an Atlantic City casino has operated under that name, and that the present Golden Nugget has gone through four names and three owners since the project was originally conceived in the 1980’s.



The Golden Nugget as we know it today was originally built by Hilton Hotels back in the early 80’s.



However, Hilton never operated the property as it was unable to secure a gambling license due to alleged organized crime ties – this was the 1980’s, remember – and that little hiccup allowed Donald Trump to swoop in and purchase the nearly complete property.



Trump called his new casino Trump’s Castle, and the property opened its doors in 1985, just a year after Trump opened the Trump Plaza in 1984.
