during a building demolition — here's your chance. Atlantic City is
holding an auction, and the highest bidder will win the right to press the button
that implodes the former Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.
Proceeds are projected to bring in more than $1
million for the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City.
But the implosion is being delayed by a few weeks.
Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small said Thursday the demolition
company handling the job told the city the former casino cannot be brought down
as scheduled on Jan. 29. A more likely date is sometime in February.
AP wire services helped contribute to this report.
