I found the hippo picture on another thread. Glad to know that I'm not the only one who likes it.

Sorry for the typos. I didn't forget to mention that the Beach Bars charge - of course they do! They are there to make money. Didn't think that this needed to be mentioned.

Got a room @ poker rate at the Trop this weekend. Some questions:

1) I assume they'll put me in their crappiest room. What should I be asking for when I try to check in, and what should I settle for? [e.g., they'll put you in the X tower by default. Try for the Y suite, but settle for a regular room in the Z tower]

2) Have any of you gotten upgraded but then had an issue with the room price since it was a poker rate?

3) Is there a good place with reliable wifi nearby? I want to get down to AC early, but that means I'll have to work at least a half day remotely.

Thanks.

I am planning a trip to AC sept 9-11 and are trying to figure out how to get a room at a casino that is not priced out of my range. Normally I just go to hotwire or one of the likes and book a reduced rate through them. Generally for a fri or sat I stay for around $100 a night. What are the requirements to get a poker rate in AC and is it really much better than promo rates?

I would suggest that you call the casino(s) that you are thinking of staying at. They all have different rules, and different availabilities.

companies in ac. i'm going to be a rising senior finance major , so i have to start looking for full time jobs. i'd like to work near Atlantic city. any of you guys work for any companies in Atlantic city or is there any companies based in ac? thanks for your help.

anyone who goes to Carmines i highly recomend the lemon chicken scalapini. amazing. if you stay at the trop pay 20 for the upgrade will save you a long walk. the upgrade rooms are right over the poker rooms.

I have been staying at trop almost every weekend, I played there about 8 hrs back in june and then I booked the entire summer (fri & sat) from that one day of playing. I booked a couple weekends at a time, then called back the next day for more.

They put you in the West tower but I never stayed in it - I always ask for the Havana Tower or the South Tower (right above the poker room). They all have free wifi, but bring a network cable because you can also plug in. Sometimes wifi is faster, sometimes plug in is faster.
This past weekend I was lucky enough to get a router right in my room, so I was able to re-set it to connect when the wall plug one kept slowing down. Otherwise you need to call the computer room and ask them to re-set whatever router you are closer too. I was never able to just connect to a wireless router without them (or me) resetting it.

Hey guys,

I'm looking to hit Atlantic City this Saturday and stay into Sunday. Room rates are absurd (as is expected i guess on a Saturday in the summer). The best I can find is a 2 star hotel in Absecon on Hotwire for $120. Anyone have any ideas as to where I can get a decent room for $140 or less this Saturday? I'm obviously willing to stay on the white horse pike or somewhere else thats not directly in the city. Any ideas?

Yeah I saw this too this past weekend. I didnt even notice that it was a B until my friend said something. It does look exactly like a BK. I didnt go inside to see what they had tho. Bopper with cheese?

beetman - whatever the picture is, I'm not seeing it.
