Poker trip suggestions please, first week in Jan

[jeffnc]

Might have some vacation I have to kill Jan 2 - 5 and my previous plan of a group trip to Vegas might be dead. Would there be much action going on if I went to Atlantic City or Tunica (or even Vegas for that matter I guess). I'm coming from NC. Suggestions?

I'm sure I'll be happy with NL action anywhere, but would appreciate some decent mid-limit limit action as well (10/20 to 20/40 range.) I like cheap hotels (either because it's cheap or because I can get a discounted poker rate) and being able to get around without renting a car. I like to at least make enough at poker to pay for my expenses (flight, hotel etc.) That means either softer games or lower expenses :-)

If I went to Tunica I'd stay at the Gold Strike again. Buffet comps and poker rate make it very cheap. I've done Vegas and have some ideas. I've never been to Atlantic City. But in general, wondering if it would be dead during that particular week/weekend. TIA
