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. :p

Harrah's has the best poker room in AC, imo, but it's also pretty small. Last time I've seen it was only to eat at the McCormick and Schmick's next door, but I remember playing in it once and it was only 10-15 tables iirc.

If you plan on making a trip out of it instead of just gambling, I definitely recommend the Tropicana instead (or Ballys/Caesars if you want a Harrah's owned resort for comp purposes) because it's on the boardwalk/beach and offers much more to do and more places to eat. 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 ....

Im looking forward to visiting AC someday ..also Niagra Falls ...i love water falls and haven't seen this one.....

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.

AC does have a beach though, which is nice.

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.

I'm going to AC on Thursday for the day

Wow.. nice I wish I had all this opportunity..
Brasil sucks for sure. We onlu have BINGO alowed..(if it was like NDN ones I would go) lol.. ANyway.. iven than our president prohibit most of the BINGOS anyway. I think they should legalize gambling here, would bring a huge amount o taxes to the state.
LEGALIZE IT!....
