someone in Atlantic City should run an LA-style room.

I was gonna post that exact statement.
Borgata is huge like an LA room (85 tables), but they wouldn't shake things up like that. They've been pretty successful thus far, and won't make any changes. But, by 2012 there will be three new (Revel, Pinnacle, MGM) luxury casino/resorts in AC. If they have each have big (40 tables +) poker rooms, Borgata may be forced to make some changes. We'll see....

The Borgata has done little if anything to promote AC poker, the Taj was a better representative when they were the leading room. With so many struggling rooms no one wants to take a chance. You want to fill your room: good totally free food (ala Commerce/Wynn), small cap NL games, and pester the NJCC until they allow stradles, buying the button and chip runners doing fills/players checks. WTF we can't even play triple draw..it's freakin' illegal in a poker room!!!
