But, as you said, driving to AC doesn't become as much an outlier, giving your direction. For me, I split through the two rooms to get to AC, so it's much farther (and tolls, etc)
According to Mapquest, here's the official tally on the distance/time from my house for these places:
Parx Casino: 14.48 mi, 23 mins
Harrah's Chester: 35.88 mi, 47 mins
Sands Bethlehem: 40.67 mi, 64 mins
Delaware Park: 56.76 mi, 73 mins
Borgata: 78.68 mi, 106 mins
I care more about time than miles. I can say that the time estimates for Parx and Chester are pretty much spot on from my experience driving to those places. The estimate to the Borg is high as I can get there in 80 minutes if I really push it, 90 if I just drive as I normally do. So I'm saving 15-20 mins if I go to DP, which isn't really helping me. Granted I don't have to pay tolls to get to DP like I do AC, but I also have to pay for beer at DP plus the comps are superior at the Borg, so that makes up for the tolls. And no one can dispute which facility is the most comfortable and offers the most amenities.
If I lived in Delaware County, different story. I wouldn't care about Parx. But because I'm in Montco, Parx can't come soon enough.
BTW the Sands would be intriguing but given what I've read about it on here, it doesn't sound any better than Harrah's Chester.
