AC Hilton poker room moving, temporarily closed

[NickMPK]

I dropped by the Atlantic City Hilton yesterday and found the poker room closed. I was told they are in the process of swapping the poker room with the Asian games room, presumably because the poker room space is much bigger and the Asian games are much more popular/profitable.

In the meantime, Hilton has four poker tables set up in the middle of the casino floor. I played there for a couple hours, and it was very uncomfortable and noisy. It also appears they have canceled all tournaments for the time being. Supposedly, they will only be playing on the casino floor for 2-3 weeks, a which time they will again move to the ballroom until the construction for the switch is complete.

In any case, if anyone was planning on taking advantage of the great Hilton poker rate during the next few weeks, you might want to reconsider (although you can still get the rate).
