NYC-->AC shuttles?

[Obfuscation]

Academy is fine.

I've taken the bus from 86th St. on the east side lots of times. It's 28-29 bucks with 20 back when you get to whatever casino. Going back there is a set schedule with the return busses leaving from different casinos at different times. The only potential hassle is if a particular bus fills up so be sure to get there 15 min. ahead of time. Although I have never been shut out, personally.

However, coming in at midnight on a friday and heading to ac for just the night seems like way more hassle than it's worth.
