ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — The Trump Taj Mahal casino has been shuttered for a year, but a strip club that used to be inside of it says it has the right to re-open when the property is reopened next year.

In the suit filed Monday, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City claims Scores AC is preventing it from opening on schedule and operating without “potential denigration” of its brand.

The new casino is scheduled to open in 2018 after a $375 million renovation project.

The lawsuit claims the lease at the Taj Mahal expired in June 2016, but Scores says that its lease remains in full effect.

The club closed in August 2016.
