Default Re: Atlantic city sucks

[ QUOTE ]
Have you ever been to the Borgata? It's an oasis in the AC desert. The rest of the AC casinos are no worse than downtown Vegas, and parts of it are becoming more like the Vegas strip. Within three years, there will be four Borgata-quality casinos built, three of which will be on the boardwalk. And the others are upgrading to keep up. Casears is already really nice. Too bad their poker room is pretty dead. Overall, AC will be changing a lot in the next few years. The money is starting to pour in.

I have been to the Borgata, and I like the physical structure, though it's confusing to get around all those slots and difficult to get to the pokerroom (if you don't already know how to get there). I think the idea in designing the hotel was that "if we build it in AC but away from the boardwalk, we'll get a classier clientele with more money" (notice that none of the charter buses or greyhound stop there) which may be how it's worked out for them (I know they are doing exceedingly well financially), but sorry, I would appreciate better access from the boardwalk. I also think that the staff there tries too hard to create an "exclusive" aura, and in the process, behave rudely, which - for a casino which is trying to be classy to have classless staff - um, I don't get it.

But maybe I'm just too negative. I'll give it another try next time.
