$100M would certainly buy a terrific rehab for Taj. Look at what $50M just did for Tropicana. It's such a shame that the investment must rightly be withheld pending November's vote outcome. I'd love to have more reasons to visit. The food court and lounge really are insufficient motivation.

Golden Nugget spent over $150 million to fix up trump marina. It also had been run into the ground. The plaza is so bad, it will probably be demolished. The taj is much bigger and in bad shape. Leaking pipes ,closed rooms, mold,crumbling parking garage,etc. Icahn is only using the north jersey casino to back out of fixing the place. His only purpose was to bust the union contracts for trop anyway.

     Yesterday's news on NY radio 880, A/C is very close to bankruptcy. What a shame. Such a beautiful location on the Boardwalk and Marina area in nice weather. I wonder if the state has just about given up on A/C altogether.

the atlantic city leaders are to blame.they defaulted on the millions they owe borgata for overcharging on taxes and they don't want the state to take them over.

Sad news; will investigate. I had a decent day. I won $68, $50 net after trip expense. But $35 was craps winnings. I got three quads in 105 minutes of Session 1. A timid man hit two meager one coin quads in twenty minutes at the same machine a fashionable woman recently hit a quad and RF on recently. That one is hot! Had a nice $18 Restaurant Week lunch at M&S. I should have never contemplated a Session 2. I lost $26 in a bitter 45 minutes back at Caesars. $1090 JOB Progressive. Every session should really be allocated two hours. The first will likely be heavy losses. The second partial to full recouping. Don't bury an entire city, Olds. I refer you to Mark Twain.

Delighted to deliver devilishly droll double entendres for communal appreciation.
I played this for an extended period today specifically to gauge its temperature. What a poor decision! I lost over $30 navigating from Quad 1 to Quad 2 on it. She had the Midas Touch!
