The demolition of the building was initially set for January 2021 as a fundraiser for the Boy's & Girls Club of Atlantic City that hoped to raise $1 million by auctioning off the right to press the demolition button.
However, the building fell into disrepair, with numerous reports of pieces of the building falling on passers-by.
The Plaza Hotel and Casino shut in 2014, and was bought by billionaire Carl Ichan. Donald Trump's former hotel and casino in Atlantic City is set to be demolished on Wednesday, February 17, with the implosion live streaming across a number of platforms online.
