Atlantic City

[ko king]

It's been many, many years since I've been to Atlantic City and I just received an offer for flight and deluxe accommodations for 2. Not sure if I want to go with all the negative stuff I've heard about the place.

  kk, i used to go every month for years and i/m/o, it got very bad, so i stopped. i have continued to get offers each month and just tossed them. but, with all the casino closings, i am hoping the surviving properties just might be paying out a little better. as a result, i scheduled a trip for april 8-10, on one of the charter offers. can not offer an opinion on current status of AC, but it has been quite some time, so i am going to give it another chance.

I got one from CET but couldn't make the dates work.

i go to AC at least once a month and it's no different than going to any casino anywhere;you win or you lose.the 1 person i know on this site who posts negative on AC still continues to go whenever possible so i would take his comments with a grain of salt.

i go to AC at least once a month and it's no different than going to any casino anywhere;you win or you lose.the 1 person i know on this site who posts negative on AC still continues to go whenever possible so i would take his comments with a grain of salt.And what about Notes1 and his comments regarding AC?   if you bother to read his thoughts, he is clearly "Down on AC" ...... so your statement that "the 1 person who posts negative on AC" is either incorrect, or you are talking about notes1 instead of me???Ko King, what doris has said about myself and my "opinion" about Atlantic City is complete BS.    I am certain you are a lot more wise, discerning and reasonable than others who lob potshots on this site......you no doubt know many of my posts on AC (but not so much as of late or recently since I have not visited as much and have been posting less) are not "BASHING" AC.... it is WRONG to misrepresent, exaggerate and distort what I have been POSTING & saying simply because someone dislikes me on a personal level.   MANY times I have balanced out my legitimate criticism of AC with supportive and positive comments regarding the city, and I have stated over and over that AC still has a LOT to offer certain people who want a casino experience combined with the OCEAN......in that respect, AC still is the best place for people who want to surf and play video poker!I wholeheartedly encourage you to go to AC this summer (the best most fun time to go!)  I recommend the Golden Nugget, or if you do not mind paying for a couple nights, the Borgata....Resorts also is decent and has very good food offerings.Please Ko king, if and when you do visit AC, let the forum know......I myself will endeavor to be there when you are in town and perhaps we can share a few laughs and a few hands of VP.Edited to add:  Of course, since I joined this site in June 2011, and began posting everything and anything I saw and experienced and learned in AC right from the get go, it goes without saying that the VAST VAST majority of my so-called "BASHING" (i.e. the things I related that were clearly WRONG with AC, or a problem, or a disaster waiting to happen) turned out to be 100% spot on accurate, prophetic and completely correct and relevant!   What has happened to AC, the steady crumbling and shrinking and massive & sustained exodus of gamblers  PROVES all along that I knew what I was talking about     This is in direct contrast to "a certain other poster who claims to be a resident of NJ and thus, also VERY familiar with AC"  who insists on minimizing, downplaying or flat-out IGNORING the many many OBVIOUS problems and issues facing AC....if you listen to her, "NOTHING at all has changed in AC the past 4-5 years and everything is just fine and dandy!"     wrong......

Harrah's May 11-15. My biggest concern is when I get tired of playing and want to get away from the casino is there anything else to do?

  if you are taking a free trip via harrahs, you will obviously need to stay there. the borgota is very close, so you can visit there. keep in mind, while your offer was from harrahs casino, i believe CET does not care if you gamble at any of their other two properties. CET will be looking for a certain amount of play, from any of their casinos, to keep the free offers coming. the trip is 'free', but you will pay a resort fee of about $30 and a hotel tax, each night you are there. while at harrahs, there is a free shuttle to both other CET properties. you can take their shuttle and walk the boardwalk, which is a great place to 'people watch' and see the ocean. if you are a diamond member, you should be entitled to free entry to the DIAMOND LOUNGE' at any of the CET casinos. CAESERS has a wondeful  view of the ocean and i have always found the free food good, but i am no gourmet.  please keep in mind, it has been some time since i have been there, so i cannot be sure if everything i mentioned is still true.
