Harrah's Resort (Atlantic City, NJ) - Page 50 - Venues & Communities -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hey, I am heading down on CINCO DE MAYO for a bachelor party and since if is the Kentucky Derby, me and and few friends will be betting on the race. I was wondering IF Harrahs has a horse racing book. I have only been to Borgata in the past few years and I enjoy their horse race book quite well.

Thanks in advance

Harrah's has a horse racing book. It is right next to the poker room. This makes it very easy to both play poker and bet horses at the same time.

Hi ModernVintage! Haven't seen you around in quite a while, hope all is ok.

We met at table 33 playing 2/5 NL on May 9th of last year. She accepted my proposal in December, and we got married on January 27th while out in Las Vegas. Seemed like the right thing to do.

We're very much in love, and very happy.

Posted this in Atlantic City General Discussion and didn't get any responses, so I thought I'd try here.
Anyone?

Has anyone received a notice about a Harrahs' diamond renewal gift yet? I feel like I heard about it by this time last year, and I want to book the weekend in April when they give it out. Anyone hear anything about when it will be given out? and what it is (coupon book maybe?)
Thanks.

Hello all. Looking for a little bit of help.

Does anyone have any idea why rooms at Harrah's AC seem to be very pricey for the weekend starting 3/23? (Like $600 for the cheapest room on Saturday.)

Does Harrah's offer a poker room rate? If they do, how do you take advantage of it? Do you need to reserve through the poker room or what.

I know, Borgata is cheaper. But, Harrah's has the Red Door Spa - Red Door Spa for wife = I play poker.

Thank you in advance for you assistance.

Harrahs does have poker room rate. I havn't booked one in quite a while, but I'm pretty sure they are $25 Sun-THurs, $89 Friday, and $169 Saturday.

Rule of thumb is that you must play 5 hours of cash games to get the rate. Call Harrahs AC and book it through the poker room.

How often does the pink chip O8 game run here? I may be in town Tuesday night and Wednesday. Any chance the game will be going?

Also, does it play with a kill of some sort? If so, full kill to 15/30 or something less?

It is O8 alternating with Stud 8 every half hour. They recently added a full kill in the Omaha round but it doesn't happen that often as you have to scoop $150 or more.

It does offer the kill, and runs the same as the pink chip game with alternating Omaha and Stud every half hour.

What the...? I played that game just last week. I love the pink chip structure, 10/20 sucks for stud and is not as good for the omaha either. Probably will die out like the game did at Borgata now. They have likely lost my business anyway.

Are you talking about the same game?? I have played about once a week for the last several months, and it has almost always been a loose game, and never seen anyone get mad about preflop raises.

He has a bit of difficulty with truthiness.
