Re: Meal Plan or cash at Atlantis PCA?
This isn't specific to PCA, but I asked my brother in law about his trip to Atlantis, and he strongly recommended against getting the meal plan.

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks --- was it because he didn't eat all the meals? I heard that individual meals can be quite expensive when purchased alone --- something like 20$ for brunch, and 40+ per person for dinner. If thats the case than a 59$ plan might be worth while, no?

I was there for the Paradise Masters final table and they gave us a huge expense account, which required a lot of nice meals to use up.

Re: Meal Plan or cash at Atlantis PCA?
aparently the pokerstars meal plan is a declining debit system like a college meal plan that you can use anywhere on the island
it isn't a per meal system

My question is more would one generally spend more than 59$ per person on breakfast and dinner? If so then the meal plan is likely worth it, if not, or if its close, then the added flexibility and potential cost savings would be the way to go! I know I have a meal plan worth $1150, which could purchase 2x$59 meal plans with the 15% tip and a few dollars left for beers. Alternatively we could just spend it down at the restaurants as we go. I was hoping someone who has seen the prices recently (2006?) could comment on this.

Re: Meal Plan or cash at Atlantis PCA?
The meal plans work alright if you eat at the places it covers, but don't get one if you have a choice. You are going to want to eat at a bunch of places that aren't covered by the meal plan.

Jamba juice smoothies are like 10 dollars. Also remember your debit card so you don't have to exchange money or pay in American cash and get ripped on the exchange when making random purchases.
