Getting from NYC to Borgata without a car

Hmmm. Let's see. You live in the largest city in the US. You can't figure out how to get to the most "famous" casino in the second largest gambling city in the US. Give me a break.

You would think there would be a train down the coast right to AC, but as far as I know there isn't.

I would just recommend getting dropped off at a casino that will give you cash as a bonus rather than slot dollars. For example, I think Tropicana gives cash, Trump Plaza gives slot dollars, and Hilton gives a voucher that is immediately redeemable. But things could have changed and I don't know how all of the casinos do it.

Academy bus line at Gate #1 (Down the escalator) at 42nd Port Authority for $31. Most casinos offer $20 cash back. Some require that you sign up for a casino membership which is free to sign up for.

Some casinos offer slot and food comps instead of cash.

The jitney to Borgata is $2 per ride and you will find details of which jitney bus you have to take by looking at the sign at the bus stop. Be prepared to spend a lot of time in line when leaving Borgata though.

Some years ago, I had an experience that I took a bus with fare $20 from Port Authority to AC. Depending which casino the bus goes to, the destination casino reimburse the $20 already paid atPort Authority to casino's chip. However, the casino did not know that I cashed the chip without consuming at the casino. Therefore it was a free bus to AC.

At the most casino you arrived at, there is a small shared van called "Jitney" at a walking distance from the destination casino. The bus charged $2 for one way. Ask the driver for Borgata.

So the total round trip fare was $4 between NYC and Borgata. Also there might be same free bus to Foxwood too.

My buddy and I are taking a 6:15pm bus from Chinatown to Caesars tonight. We pay $15 round-trip. (It's $20 RT w/o a Caesars card.) Upon arrival, we'll receive $25 in cash. No need to enter casino. With the $10 we each made, it pays for the cab rides to and from the Borgata - for the midnite tourney we're both going to play in.

Daily bus schedule...

...from Chinatown to AC (Division St./Bowery St.): 9:30am, 11:30am, 12:30pm, 3:00pm, 6:15pm, 8:30pm, 11:15pm

...from AC to Chinatown: 6:45am, 12:00pm, 5:00pm, 7:00pm, 8:30pm, 11:00 pm, 4:45am (Sat/Sun only)

We're both bringing our Ipods as a bus-full of Chinese does tend to get noisy. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
