September Atlantic City Trip
 

Post here if you are interested so I can PM and talk to you. So far I have vocal interest from Aragorn, Scary_Tiger, and Babar.
Even if you aren't going, any advice/leads/good deals would be nice.

Timeline:
Attached is Borgata's Tourney Schedule:
http://www.theborgata.com/Main.cfm?Categ...02CEB8EF66E9813

There are two possible weekends(Fri-Sun), 9/7-9/9 and 9/14-9/16(Start of Main Event).

The second weekend probably will give us the best action/most excitement, but the first weekend probably works best for me in terms of personal schedule. It is likely that we will do something like a Friday-Tuesday or something along those lines. Please respond with which dates are good for you.

Housing:
I'm working on finding us the best deal possible in terms of housing/distance and cost to Borgata. We will be sharing rooms and beds unless you specifically don't want to. If last weekend at FW was any indication, chances are I'll be sleeping when other people aren't anyways. It's possible that someone in our group will have a car, but no guarantee.

LOL DONKAMENTS:
If anyone is actually interested in playing in it, the only Limit Event is a 2-day event from Sunday, Sept. 9th - Monday, Sept. 10th. The structure looks reasonable. Here are the details:

Re: September Atlantic City Trip

Update(8/16/07):
Most people seem to be interested in the first weekend so we'll try to do something like Friday or Saturday-mid of next week(Tuesday/Wednesday) so we still get some of the good action that proceeds the main event.

I'm going to start calling places in the next day or two, starting with places where people have given me recommendations. So far I haven't gotten any so list them here for discussion.

I will most likely be there as well... have not made it down to Borg in a while and it seems like a good weekend to go south instead of north to FW. As far as hotels go, I have stayed in quite a few in the area. Most were pretty much slums, but there are plenty of places within a short cab ride/Jitney bus ride (the cheap way to get from Borgata to other casinos) away. I'll post some info later.

Ben, PM me your phone #. My wife is probably gonna come with me, so we'll get our own room, but I definitely want to meet up with all 2 + 2'ers who will be there. I'll probably go from the 5th to 9th, and play the limit event.

Stay in absecon. It's five minutes from the Borgata and usually pretty cheap. The knights Inn is pretty good and cheap. There is a comfort Inn and a Fairfield Inn that are both pretty nice, but they are priced a little higher then the knights Inn.

Re: September Atlantic City Trip
 

Just did a search on expedia. Knights Inn average rate for fri 9/7 to tues 9/11 $ 68.85 a night. Comfort Inn north $ 97.50 per night. If you have any questions about other hotels in the area just ask me. I'm pretty familiar with most of them.
