Just to correct my prior information, prior to July 1991, gaming closed at 4 am on weekdays and 6 am on the weekend. Gaming reopened at 10 am. Starting July 1991, 24 gaming began as a trial and was made permanent in July 1992.

Just to let you guys know what it was like when Resorts International (AC's first casino) opened. The casino opened at 10am. Hotel guests were allowed in first with everybody else standing behind a rope. Plenty of security to prevent sneaking in. After about a half hour the general public was allowed in and it was like a damn bursting. People, including me, would RUN at top speed to get to any open table game or slot (not me). It was a hysterical madhouse. One time a security guard grabbed me by the shirt and said 'No running! You've got to leave!' All this while everybody else was stampeding like wild horses. I said 'Are you nuts?', yanked away, and disappeared into the crowd.
I think if you'd have invested $20,000 in Resorts stock a month before they opened it would've made you a millionaire.
