OK, I am going to be picky just to get a few things straight for any possible visitors. (Caps are used to distinguish my comments.)
My wife and I frequent AC a lot since we live in CT and its only three hrs away . Also my brother is a Food & Beverage manager for Bally's/Harrahs. We go once or twice a month. Harrahs which is down at the end of the boardwalk which you cannot get to by walking , you must drive or shuttle , has just open a new buffet that my brother has been helping run . He says it is the best in AC , and he is being impartial since he has to know what the other casinos have . We have eaten at almost every one and we have found the Showboat buffett and the Virginia City buffett at Bally's Wild Wild West are about the best.
HARRAHS IS NOT ON THE BOARDWALK. RATHER IT IS IN THE MARINA AREA NEXT TO THE BORGATA THAT YOU MENTION BELOW.
I ATE THIS WEEKEND AT THE WATERFRONT BUFFET AT HARRAHS AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANYTHING EXCEPTIONAL. ALTHOUGH SHOWBOAT'S AND BALLYS' WILD WEST BUFFETS ARE GOOD I WOULD STILL HAVE TO GIVE OVERALL TOP HONORS TO THE BORGATA.
All the streets run off the boroadwalk .
NOT SURE WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO CONVEY HERE BUT ALL THE STREETS DO NOT RUN OFF OF THE BOARDWALK IN ATLANTIC CITY.
The younger crowd seems to like the new MGM Borgata , but you have to drive to that also,it is not on the boardwalk . It is high end with lots of bars , discos catering to the 20-30 age bracket. THE BORGATA IS OWNED JOINTLY BY MGM MIRAGE AND BOYD GAMING BUT IS NOT KNOWN AS THE MGM BORGATA.
