First time going to Atlantic City

[iheartponeez]

I might be heading out to Atlantic City for the first time. So I just wanted a little heads-up before I try it. It would be my first time in a casino. I play PokerStars .25/.50 right now, and play decently. Not great, but profitable, and building/learning my way to 100NL. But I've heard casinos are soft and easy and full of sweet, sweet monies. Plus there's the added fun of people getting to see my new hoodie and tight jeans that they just can't fully appreciate on the internet no matter how many times I try to describe it to them while we play a hand.

So: I'm guessing the place to start is 1/2 tables. Any recommendations on where to go for a good bunch of these? A good atmosphere? How much money I should bring (300-ish)? Tell me please!

PS: Is it a smart move to play up it being my first time in a casino/construct some image as a totally star-struck non-player, or is this just too much effort for something not so important?
