AC Trip report 4/29-5/2

#1

Noticed lots of billboards on the AC Expressway offering "deals" not
usually seen like slot club sign up bonuses and great food deals.
They're starting to learn, the people are a lot frendlier too. Now
for parking-hint, hint-what do Penn., Deleware, NY and Connecticut
casinos charge for parking?
Five bucks less than AC.
Food
Carmine's at the Tropicana-great Osso Bucco (Thursday only special)
with risotto-$50-will easily feed 4. Side order of bow tie pasta with
chicken-$30. This place is truly tremendous.
Taj's Sultan's Feast-$21.00-Fantastic. Steaks cooked to order.
Shrimp, King Crab. Rotisserie chicken and so much more. Top notch
deserts.
Breakfast at Resorts Breadsticks-French Toast $9.99-great. Resorts
buffet is CLOSED on Friday nights-weekends only. Guess everyone is
walking to the Taj and Showboat for their first-rate buffets.
Gambling
Cycled $300 through Resorts new Boogie Nights slots-played with Ike
Dollars. Loud and entertaining. Hit for triple 7's and cashed out
$200 ahead. Cycled $5000 through the Taj's two 50-play Jacks Or Better
machines (7-5-yikes!) came out $130 ahead. Played single coin JOB the
rest of the time on Resorts two last 9/6 quarter machines and a tiny
bit on its horrendus 2 video blackjack games. Anybody compute this
payback percentage-no splits, no double downs, BJ pays even money.
All the dollar and up BJ in the Taj that I saw has all been downgraded
to 9/5.
General
The beach in the warm weather is SO much better than the microwave
that LV will quickly become.
I had a chuckle finally realizing that progressive shithole New Jersey
actually has a (slightly) lower sales tax than LV. Not going to stop
Corzine from getting his corrupt leftist ass booted out in November
get at Resorts-couldn't make me a Blue Hawaii though. In 2 hours `at
Taj didn't hear the word "cocktails" uttered. Resorts Burger place
now has a half-pound Kobe burger with fries for $14.95. Must try it
if the Good Lord gets me out there by the end of summer.
Next up-MGM at Foxwoods in June for my first time.

from my conversations with several locals. Cocktails now very easy to

My boyfriend regularly takes the bus from DC to AC and stops at Resorts where he is given $25 to play in a machine. We both prefer 9/6 JoB but he hasn't been able to find them regularly. Any guidance out there? I checked the database but that just says near the garage or near the new area and that isn't quite specific enough.
Many thanks!

There are 2 quarter machines in all of Resorts. They are in the VP bank directly in front of the Big Six Wheel. Check the paytables and you will find them. Neither one is on an end seat. I think 1 is labeled "Joker Poker" and the other "Draw Poker".
There is 1 50 cent machine at Resorts. It is in the VP bank to the left (walking in from the Boardwalk) of the new Roulette electronic game. I believe it is an end seat.
There are several dollar machines in the High Limit area.
