I've never eaten @ Red Square, but the drinks are amazing. Definitely worth their high price--I think it's about $12 or $15 for a martini.

Best drink value is at the racebook at the Borgata. Each two dollar bet gets you a free drink of top shelf liquor.

I lost twenty bucks betting horses last week, but I came out way ahead at the bar...

So where does the Empire Inn rank on the Absecon grossness scale? The only time I've stayed in Absecon was at the Super 8 which is about at the bottom of my tolerance range.

I'm looking at a Saturday night later this month for $78 for a king bed. I've got a hotel.com $50 coupon so it will be a cheap stay.

^^^ You can always check the House of Blues at the Showboat. They have good bands and the Taj has legit acts too. I think Shakira was just there last weekend.

I'll be in Atlantic City for the 2010 WSOPC arriving the evening of 12/3 and departing the morning of 12/12. It seems the best deal I have found is the Empire Inn & Suites in Absecon, NJ (9 nights ≈ $300USD including taxes) . It appears to only be a 15 minute drive to the Borgata/Harrah's so I'm not concerned with not being 'in the city'. Does anyone have any feedback on this joint? I got a lot of mixed reviews on expedia.com, despite getting a 4/5 star rating (lol).

I've been to AC one time, for about a day and didn't get to do much of anything. However I was offered cocaine and xanax when I got out of my car at the Travelodge on Pacific Ave . Putting that aside, I really want to explore the city, visit the other casinos, basically be a degenerate for a week and a half.

I'm a single guy in his early 20's, so even in December and with a decent bankroll there is no way to not have fun, right?

TYIA for suggestions.

Someone give me a new local bar to grab some beers in.

I know the Irish Pub and Ducktown Tavern and enjoy going to both. It's great to find a regular good ol' BAR that's not in a casino every once in awhile.

Chelsea Pub is a decent locals place with low prices iirc.

Tony's Baltimore Grill, pints of Bud are still like $2.25, shots like three bucks. Try the pizza, extra well done...

Will be there next weekend. I already posted on the Borgata thread but I got zero responses....

I'm looking for some recommendations:
Best Chinese?
Best bar with a good microbrew selection?
Best nightlife/bar for Friday AND saturday night?
(doesn't have to be a nightclub, just a good spot that'll have a good young crowd)

Thank you in advance for any advice/recommendations.

Best Chinese? Can't help
Best bar with a good microbrew selection? Trinity Pub at Caesars Pier, Firewaters at the Tropicana, Tun Tavern at the Sheraton
Best nightlife/bar for Friday AND saturday night?
(doesn't have to be a nightclub, just a good spot that'll have a good young crowd) Check out Borgata (Gypsy Bar is fun) or the Quarter at the Trop. Both have many bars/clubs.

Has anyone heard anything new about the Revel? If they found more backers? Has construction started back up? When is it expected to open? Is it expected to open?

Also what is going to happen to the vacant lot where Sands used to be?
12-21-2010 , 04:40 PM
its going to open at feb

I'm going to mur.mur in Borgata Sat. night. I need a place to stay just for the night. Might donk around at the tables somewhere during the day. Is it possible to play enough hours get a free or discounted room? Not just Borg, but any casino?

Also, anyone think I'd be able to get a PLO8 game going? I know there's next to zero demand for it, but thought I'd ask anyway.
01-04-2011 , 09:56 PM

01-05-2011 , 05:21 PM
