First trip to Atlantic City, which casinos?

Don't listen to anyone telling you you should see some of AC, its a run down dirty slum with casinos, there's no reason to go anywhere but The Borgata.

If you are playing poker for the fun, then the sng's , but the rake and structure are terrible if you are looking to make money, basically they're for the tourists. Play cash games if you are trying to make money, bring about 1500-2000 if you want to play 1/2NL, its very soft, but the variance can be pretty high, so a 3-4 buy in swing isn't out of the ordinary for a winning player.

You don't need to 1500-2000 to play 1/2 NL for a day, but 500 might not be enough.

I actually like govman's idea. You don't really have the bankroll for any serious stakes; there are many casinos in AC that will offer the games in your price range. So why not sample a few casinos and see what you like? If you run bad, your money will last longer if you take a walk along the boardwalk in between buy-ins.

If you are looking to play middle or high limits, or a decently-structured MTT, Borgata is really the only place to go. But their 1/2 NL game is no better than anywhere else.
