ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- The ceiling came crashing down on the now-shuttered Atlantic Club casino in Atlantic City.

Crews spent the day cleaning up after a fifty foot section of drywall collapsed Wednesday morning.

It happened around 4 a.m., tearing off the bottom of what was the covered entrance.

Engineers think the damage is just cosmetic.

The owner does plan to fix it.

The Atlantic Club closed in 2014, and has been empty since.
