Re: Where to play in AC
Showboat is next to the Taj (literally). Trop is about a mile (at least) down the boardwalk.
Borgata is only accessible by motor transport - jitney, car, or cab. Not a long drive, but not a walkable one.

Re: Where to play in AC
Yet another weekend in AC, rolled up fri night to play the NJ poker championship at the Hilton and stayed there as well. Didn't like the way it was set up but i'll post that elsewhere.
Stayed at the Hilton for 2 nights it was my first time staying there, its ok I guess prolly give it a 2.75 out of 5. I also played 2/5 at the Taj and it is just dirty, the chips are all brown and nasty the tables are nasty, and there is trash all under the tables. (I know theres trash under every poker table) but for some reason the Taj just feels really dirty to me. Since i abandoned the Trop as my home i really cant come to a conclusion as to what room I enjoy better then the Trop as i have played just about every other property there in the past two trips. I guess there is no place like home, which means i'll be heading back to the Trop on my next trip up in about a week or so. But I must say the poker rooms I have liked the most are at the Harrahs properties i.e. showboat and Ceasars, so you will be seeing me there and the trop on the regular and the occasional stop at the Hilton.

Re: Where to play in AC
Do you really like staying at the Trop over the Hilton? I've always thought the Hilton was much nicer. You get a safe and fridge in your room, which you don't get at Trop. Some of the room at the Trop are pretty dumpy, depending on what tower you are in. And I've had alarms go off in the middle of the night at Trop twice. I would stay at Borgata over both, but I can't get a poker rate there anymore. Those are the only three casinos I've stayed at.

[/ QUOTE ] Trop has more conveniences then the Hilton, better restaurants, better shops open 24hrs (which as a late night poker player I like a lil variety when i go get a late night snack) and you are correct it depends on which tower you stay in. I've stayed in some really nice rooms there all of them had safes but there is one tower that has not been renovated yet and it is on the dumpy side. Just a note if you stay at the Trop request a room with a safe in it when you check in, it will usually mean you get a better room also if its available. If they say they dont have a room with a safe available make a stink about it tell them you have valuables and cash you need to store they will usually find you a room with a safe or offer you a safe deposit box at no charge. As far as the Gata too expensive for me, thats why i dont stay there anymore. Once they did away with their "decent" poker rate that was it for me.
