Why are there no books for Atlantic City? It is very hard to find discount coupons for any buffets of shows in Atlantic City. Why isn't there a Atlantic City Advisor like Las Vegas Advisor. I am sure there are a number of people interested in Atlantic City just like Las Vegas.

Re: Atlantic City
I believe it's just a matter of business policy that the Atlantic City casinos don't like to offer coupons.
There are fewer casinos and most are controlled by Harrah's which is another problem.

Re: Atlantic City
Is it true that Harrahs has been sold? If so, do you think there will be changes for the better?

Re: Atlantic City
Harrahs management bought the company to make it private - same as the the Fertitta family did with the Station Casinos. Expect Harrahs to sell properties, lay off workers, and do everything they can to reduce the humongous debt they have acquired in an attempt to make those executives at the top even richer.Comment

Re: Atlantic City
I was recently was down in Atlantic City. At the time, the Tropicana, was giving away a bunch of coupons. I don't about now. Anyway, there is a site I belong to regarding AC. It's Atlanticcityone.com.Comment

Re: Atlantic City
Perhaps the only time I might be interested in returning to Atlantic City is when the City Council votes to BAN smoking in the casinos. It is not permitted in any place in the city except the casinos; absolutlely absurd and ridiculous.
That 25% law about separating smokers is an absolute joke. How many times have I seen smokers in the non-smoking section is countless. The fact is that there are more non-smokers than smokers yet they appease the smoking clientele; I don't understand this.
The issue about smokers not frequenting the casino is absurd. It may be temporary but they will eventually return; trust me. The bottom line is that is good for their health. Ciao.Comment

Re: Atlantic City
When you play in AC, sign up at each place you play for a player card. You will then receive mailings each month w/comps, etc. Also, you will receive mailings of give aways, etc as they come out. I never pay for food or parking while there, and have gone to several comp shows.Comment

Re: Atlantic City
It is now a done deal. The City Council of Atlantic City recently voted 9-0 for a complete smoking ban in all the casinos. If they wish, they may provide an unstaffed enclosed smoking lounge for lighting up. This ban will take effect on October 15, 2008. Excellent decision!Comment

Atlantic City/SMOKING
Excellent decision!
************************************
In whose opinion ?? Yours ?
Let's just say I'll NEVER go to AC again !!
Haven't you read the latest reports ? Cancer is in the GENES--you have it or you don't !
I'd rather play next to a considerate smoker than some overweight Italian, or other, on the verge of Diabetes who's condition is forcing higher medical costs. Have I tried a political fix to that ?
Before I go, do ya think DRIVE THRU restaurants make you waste gas ? Yet, you'll complain about higher gas costs ? Do you also realize how much EACH state's make on SALES TAX on the extra DOLLAR in gas cost compared to last year ? You'll hear them say higher taxes cause we're going broke, but fail to mention they're raking in a Million per day. Think about it--6% or so on a 10 gallon fill-up is 60 cents for 10 gallons,& how many cars/trucks will get 10 gallons each DAY ??
I disgressed, I feel AC & other venues will lose income & raise local taxes at some point. Has AC ever FIXED the ghettos 2 blocks west with all their casino money or is it still a ghetto ?
I'm not done yet as this issue is not settled til I give my full opinion. TO COME.

Re: Atlantic City Smoking and The Donald
Whenever non-smoking is manated for casinos it always hurts their business. That's why the Donald is against it. See below story
New Jersey (Atlantic City) - Star-Ledger - Donald Trump called on 11 casinos Thursday to sue over a new smoking ban approved by the Atlantic City Council, arguing that it created a competitive disadvantage, according to a report in the Associated Press. The real estate magnate, chairman of a company that owns three casinos in Atlantic City, said he would not file his own suit but wants the Casino Association of New Jersey to stop the ban from taking effect in October.

Re: Atlantic City Smoking and The Donald
I vehemently disagree with you. There is no correlaton between smoking and gambling. After a time it will be the same as always and in fact. better for everyone. This absurd notion that gambling and smoking go hand in hand is ridiculous. The only problem Atlantic City faces is the proliferation of slots parlors in Pennsylvania because unlike New York, the slots and video poker machines in Pennsylvania are operated by RANDON NUMBER GENERATORS. Unlike the New York slot parlors that are operated by VIDEO LOTTERY TERMINALS. VLT'S are controlled by a cental computer terminal in Albany, NY which decide which machine shall benefit by the roll of the chip as opposed by the RANDOM NUIMBER GENERATOR which is separate and distinct to that own machine. Do you agree Mr. Bourie? Any comments please? Each machine in AC has its own computer chip, hence, playing video poker on a VLT is useless. Thank you for your attention.Comment

I AGREE & this is well-known. What's your point, Luigi ?

Re: Atlantic City Smoking and The Donald
My point is this, Les. I do not understand why people would play VLT'S. I did play at Monticello and Yonkers before I learned they were VLT'S; now I no longer visit them. I want to control my own game and not have a central computer decide it for me. Do you agree?Comment

AGREED !!! Stay away from VLT's...although that may be the only game in town at those tracks ?
Ever see me in the winners' circle at Monticello presenting the trophies on GREY HORSE RACE days in Septembers' past ?
