It is the fifth Atlantic City casino in recent years to close.
ATLANTIC CITY -- Less than 12 hours remain to place your final bets at the Trump Taj Mahal.
The casino and hotel will cease operations Monday at 5:59 a.m., according to its website.
Early Sunday evening, the familiar sound of slot machines could barely be heard over the music playing through the speakers throughout the casino floor. Many of the machines had already been shut down and taped off.
Less than 20 gaming tables -- of the more than 100 -- appeared to be in operation.
Security guards remained stationed on the casino floor, seemingly outnumbering those still gambling, as guests wandered through the quieted maze.
A bar, with several TVs showing Sunday's football games, was empty. It, along with most of the eateries, were already shut down.
Taj Mahal workers with the UNITE Here Local 54 union walked off the job on July 1 over health benefits, pensions and unpaid vacation time. In August, owners of the casino announced it would be closing its doors after Labor Day.
"With this strike, we see no path to profitability," Tony Rodio, the president and CEO of Tropicana Entertainment Inc., said in a statement.
Diana Hussein, communications specialist for UNITE Here Local 54, stated that the workers will remain on the picket line until the casino closes tomorrow morning.
This is the fifth casino here in recent years to close. Showboat has since reopened its hotel and some restaurants, but gaming is not on the table as of now.

Atlantic City Mayor Don Guardian previously said in a statement that his "thoughts and prayers are with the hard working men and women who will be losing their jobs." Nearly 3,000 workers will lose their jobs as a result of the closure.
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn purchased the hotel and casino in 2015 in bankruptcy court. At the time, Icahn owned all $292 million of the Taj Mahal's bank loans.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump opened the casino in 1990, but has since given up control of the casino.
