Thanks for the help.
Play 5 hours, then ask the floor for availability and rate. Although, during the summer, I wouldn't count on availability as I've seen regulars turned away. Summer, especially weekends, is becoming increasingly difficult to get. If you both play, you may consider combining cards, one primary, one companion on the same room to increase chances.
I would strongly suggest booking something, even a Howard Johnson, in advance if you are coming up. You can always cancel if poker rates are available, but gambling on a weekend room can leave you out. If you have a total rewards card, check the website to see what you can get, if anything. Your best chances are the properties away from the boardwalk, so Harrah's would be your best bet and you are already trying that. Good luck.
