Borgata has the only plo games. 1/2 is rare but 2/5 through 25/50 run regularly. With tge wpt championship in town expect to see some 50/100 plo going.

How's the popcorn holding out?

Generators arrived at Revel last week. The state DEP said they'd probably violate the federal Clean Air Act. Straub said he'd be OK with trading $5k/day city fire hazard fines for $3k/day pollution fines. Then ACR got an injunction barring him from connecting to their equipment on the site. Now Straub says if he can't get a deal he likes he'll tear the thing down, sell the land and leave. Phoenix indeed.

But, they also have a parking garage that costs $3 and although it's not as close to these stores as the valet is, it's definitely still very duable, and, this area will be right in the heart of all the sneaker outlets. *Note*: there's a small, U-shaped cluster of parking spots directly outside of Starbucks, but, there's only about ~6 or 7 available spots; I always park there when I go. Granted, sometimes I'm waiting a few minutes for a spot to open, but I just hate paying for parking, and, it's located directly across the street from the valet, so, the location is definitely primo.

I would say that the outlets are probably cheaper than King Of Prussia only because they're all discounted stores to begin with. However, the selection will probably pale in comparison, I'm sure.

Regarding coupons: I don't know if it's still there but I do remember there being a store just for what you're looking for on the same block as Applebee's on the adjacent street right behind the H&M store.

Thanks for the tips. I actually like Banana Republic and American Eagle. Still wear a pair of 7-8 year old jeans from AE actually. I've got a Diamond Card, so will just park @ Caesars and check out the outlets on the next trip. On the last one, got a little too busy gambling and never managed to get out to the outlets :-)

Going to be in AC next weekend for a bachelor party. Any ideas on a place to watch the Pac/Mayweather fight?

I'd call A Dam Good Sports Bar in the Tropicana to see if they're showing it.

I agree.

Even RiRa or Chickie's and Pete's(also located in the Tropicana) would be good choices. Personally, I'm just a fan of RiRa; their beers are so good plus it's just a nice place/good food.

What about Scores at the Taj? I've never been but they'll definitely be showing the fight; might be on the pricey side, though, but may be more in line for a bachelor party..? Depends what you're looking for.

In any event, good luck with your search, OP---have fun!

I'd appreciate a report of your findings. I'll be in AC that night (my return after 9 years!)

It'll be showing just about everywhere on the main floor at Borgata. Long Bar, B Bar, racebook, poker room, Wolfgang's, Sunroom, 2West, Bobby's, Old Homestead, Metropolitan and Fornelletto, the email says. (And in the Music Box for $30.)

Thanks for the replies.

We are old dudes at this point, don't need a huge party bar.

Good to know Borgata has it on in the racebook & poker room. Good chance I'll be in the racebook earlier in the day for the Kentucky Derby.

I'm a big fan of Chickie & Pete's, the fries (called crab fries) are great, huge portion to eat throughout the game, good sandwiches too. The spicy boiled shrimp were awesome as well.

Looks like the north end of the Boardwalk is just one big mess. It makes me sad for AC. It looks like it will be a long time before these properties reopen for anything. I hope I'm wrong.

What is the best of the cheap places to book a hotel room in/around AC? A 10-15min drive no problem.

What do you consider cheap? I think your best bet is to book through a site like Hotels.com or the like. They list all available hotels, you can sort by price and the ratings are normally accurate.

It is also going to depend on when you are going to be there. Mid week rooms are cheap enough in the Casino hotels that the extra ride is not worth the savings IMO.

$75-$100 range for a 2-bed room would be ideal - and I see tons on Hotels.com just curious if any reviews/feedback/preferences among the grinders here.
