Atlantic City- where to play?

[LFC]

Can anyone advise which casino is the best?

softest game/lowest rake/ no additional rake for jackpots/ cute girls/etc

thanks

Borgata has the nicest environment and the highest stakes games. Harrah's owned casinos (Showboat, Caesar's, Harrah's) have a bad beat jackpot. The rake (barring a few differences) is typically the same around town.

If you like tourneys, the best place is the Taj. 12:15, 6:15 and midnight. 100$ per tourney. Caesars is probably second for tourneys. Cash games are pretty good at the Taj too although I agree with the other poster that Borgata is probably a little nicer environment.

Structure is awful for the taj midnight tournament, others are okay. Cash games are pretty good there. Borgata is nicer with more drunk partiers fishing. Both are nice rooms though.

Search the B&M forum.

But briefly:
- Rake is basically the same everywhere by law.
- Harrah's casinos and Hilton have BBJP. No BBJP at Taj/Trop/Borgata.
- If you are looking to play 1/2 NL or 2/4 & 3/6 Limit you can go anywhere. For higher stakes, Taj, Trop, and Borg are basically your only choices.
- Borgata is by far the nicest room. Hilton is 2nd IMO.
- Borgata is really the only place to go for tournaments. The tournament structures at Taj and Caesars are terrible; I don't know how someone could recommend them.

Taj tourneys suck...high rake and bad structure. Go to the Trop for tourneys imo. The Taj also attracts an older crowd, so if you're younger then you may prefer Borgata or the Trop. The Taj does serve free Red Bulls though, which is excellent.

The only time I went to the Taj and they stuck us in a sideroom with absolutely no air conditioning. Needless to say, the levels were 10 minutes long and needless to say, the whole experience left something to be desired.

And if you're lucky - you may be dealt by my avatar at the Borgata tables!
