Atlantic City General Discussion - Page 143 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

locals and the people in this forum are generally two different groups. if you stick to the boardwalk, casinos, outlets and gardiners basin (which is just a few restaurants and an aquarium) you'll get the experience you're probably looking for. if you leave those areas, you'll be in some fairly rough neighborhoods.

I thought you meant they closed for good. Probably good to say they are closed today because of the weather.

Any suggestions for fun non-casino related activities in AC? Not looking to leave the city & close or on the boardwalk would be preferred. We're looking for things we could kill time doing while gambling vs each other.

ie - mini golf (would have to be indoors now)?
Go-Karts?

AC is very odd. Nothing to do outside of gambling for the most part. No bowling, no pool hall, only movie theater is the IMAX at Trop. We would always go to Wildwood on weeklong stays for a break, but that's out too now.

Lots of good restaurants to eat in, shopping at the Outlet stores, Showboat has a pool table at the bar, Harrah's has one at the restaurant there. Both are free to anyone dining/drinking there. There are options.

tropicana quarter has some nice shops and a good comedy club
the outlets... large and lots of good deals
if you're there on a weekend ballys wild west has music and acts like a country bar... pretty fun.

Unclear...I talked to someone who works for the Borgata who thinks Hard Rock will lose money in AC the first couple years, but also thinks their real intention is to get a foothold in Jersey so they can be the main player in North Jersey, if and when that materializes.

Ripley's, yes. Sorry that I forgot to mention it. However, the fountain show is long gone. A bar is there now. And the comedy club ticket sales.

Sincerely,

Lee

TRUTH!!
everyone talks about the subs (which are also good) but IMO the gem is really their cheese steaks. totally thought the same about better than philly when I first had it.

Maybe something new has opened very recently, but The Comedy Stop has been closed for several years.

Frankie, great to see you still watch A.C. Would love to see you consider the shore again, if we got 10 inches you prob. are digging out of a dozen. stay in touch. summer is coming and the Hard Rock is a buzz.
