After reading this thread I get the impression that the AC Casinos are just worn out dumpsters and it isnt safe anyways....well, do you have short advice on which hotel/casino are the nicest for gambling/spa. We were planning on staying at the Boardwalk in Bally's or Ceasar's because their room rates are cut in half in January...or do we need to go to Harrah's/Borgata to have a somewhat nicer experience?
THanks!
This reminds me of when I lived in NYC and tourists would be scared to death of the Subway because of movies and new reports. You'll be fine wherever you go as long as you use common sense. The casinos are the safest places in the city.
My wife loves the Red Door Spa in Harrah's but no matter where you stay there are free shuttles between Caesar's properties and the Jitney is cheap. You can always take a cab if you want to feel even safer but it's really an unnecessary expense.
If you're playing $1/2, every casino can accommodate you and the games are more or less the same. You'll have better game selection at the Borgata but you can play at Harrah's or the Bally's WWW around the clock. A few rooms will be limited even for $1/2 if you're playing overnight into the early AM but if you're limiting your play to normal hours, there's bound to be $1/2 action at any property.
