have you been to vegas? now your going to AC. I would like to know which one you think is better?? anyone?
Depends on what you plan on doing. If you're going for only gambling, I much prefer Atlantic City. Vegas has too much to do beyond gambling and, in most cases, higher limits. It's also too hot there. :pQuote:

Trop actually has a very nice interior, much akin to the places in Vegas, with shops and stores to walk around, as well as, like I said, access to the boardwalk and most of the other hotels. Harrahs on the other hand, is out in the middle of a lagoon with nothing near it other than the Borgata (borg and harrah's are definitely the nicest hotels in AC, though) and so no access to the beach/boardwalk or other hotels. The Borgata and Harrah's also have, on average, higher table limits than the beachfront hotels.
My favorite hotel in AC is probably Harrah's, though I usually prefer to stay at Caesar's or Bally's and spend time in Tropicana because of the locations of the latter. Fortunately for me, I live only about 1:45 away and can go for the day.
I'ld have to agree with terp here..ive never been to atlantic city ..so all i can speak of is vegas....vegas is eye candy ..lights and sounds ...its a vacation of a life time ..you wont be able to see it all...you can't its that huge! I like the downtown area ...about 6 casinos on one streeet and nightly light shows ..its very lively but old rooms that dont matter cuz u just use them for sleep and showering and to change so you can get back to it....VEGAS how much do i love thee.... let me count the ways ....Quote:

For someone who is used to Vegas, AC isn't worth more than a car trip. I wouldn't fly out here unless a trip to NYC was also planned. AC doesn't have enough to offer beyond gambling to be worth a long trip, imo, and Vegas has the same although you'll need more money in Vegas for sure.Quote:

AC and Vegas, which one is better. are we talking about poker or vacation spot! Vacation spot would deff. be vegas (never been in vegas).
poker i Don't know b/c i never played poker in Vegas.
Since i am from NEW JERSEY i would have to say AC is a lot better!!!!!
p.s i just bought a new t-shirt and it says "new jovi" hahaha love it
As much as I love AC and go all the time, it really is a craphole if you go two blocks in the wrong direction. Although I suppose LV is the same way.Quote:
