Atlantic City Sportsbooks And Atmosphere?

I haven't been to ac in years, at least 7 years.


Are the sportsbooks and atmosphere really exciting there? Im thinking about making a trip there and staying for a few days. Also do you recommend staying on the boardwalk where you have all those casinos connected to one another or just head to borgata? I know when at borgata, you are pretty much closed off from every other casino unless you take the jitney or cab. Back then i go to borgata to play some poker. But what i didn't like was i had to take jitney if i had to go to the boardwalk. Thus the boardwalk, you have all the casinos right there.


Do people take jitney from the boardwalk to borgata or harrahs nowadays or do people take cabs?


So i could open online accounts in ac casinos? Could i actually open one at the cage or it has to be done online? The other thing is this. Can i use my data to do this or i have to use wifi? I don't really trust using public wifi but i did recall years ago borgata had free wifi in the poker room years ago.


But do the casinos on the boardwalk have free wifi or they do not? Can i just use my data instead to do everything?


I assume when its nfl season, its pretty big right?

soon as in the state you can open up an account on phone & deposit.. Better off with the boardwalk... more sports books on it.

Ever since several casinos like Borgata, Bally's and Tropicana have opened Vegas themed sportsbooks upgrading their temporary venues, the vibe itself has become more profesional and positive. iI like staying on the boardwalk, preferably Bally's because you can qualify for a comped room if you play 4 hours of poker Sun-Thurs and Trop as they send free rooms all the time.

The jitneys run reliable and most take them over taxis for $2.25, much cheaper. After midnight however I just walk the boardwalk as the wait is especially lengthy.

As far as atmosphere, the Trop sportsbook is excellent. Its enormous, and configuration is good. Too far of a walk though back up to Ceasers/Ballys/Wild West. Jitney or uber.

When out of casinos head over to Irish Pub for steerburger and make sure fries are St James style (gravy, cheese). Or across street Pick a Lillie for wings. Both places are dives. If you are looking for something nicer, steak house in Borgata, Old Homestead
While on TN ave, walk a block or two west and you can buy just about any drugs you want if you're into that.
Stay away from the hookers though. Better off with massage joint right nearby on Atlantic ave

Enjoy

Fyi most casinos are not connected to each other. Only Ballys/Wild West/Ceasers.

Hard Rock (sportsbook sucked when I was there in April, maybe was temporary) is only one block from Resorts on the northern side.

Well the only reason back then i was at borgata mostly was to play some poker. On the boardwalk, there were not much options for poker. I know borgata is really the place to play poker even if you play 1/2nl.


I did like the boardwalk because all the casinos are there. You walk from ballys to resorts etc.


Do people really take the jitney when going from casino to casino on the boardwalk? I mean the walk is pretty simple and smooth if you walk on the boardwalk. Yea i know from tropicana to other casinos, its a much longer walk.



What site can i check the odds for the sportsbooks?


Another thing i want to mention is this. When you open accounts online, you can deposit cash at the sportsbook pretty easily and withdraw pretty easily?


Is there a reason to bet at the book as oppose to online? Also i recalled if you bet at least 500 or 1000, they want your id correct? Do they ever say okay you need to open an online account if you bet bigger amounts?

Books mostly suck, no one is going to invest that much in them. Meadowlands is as nice a book as any, save yourself the hassle of an AC drive. If only they ever get that mall done you could convince the wife and kids to go out there and you spend the afternoon in the book and they can blow their money in the attractions and stores.

Got dealt pocket ladies 4 times all tolled and all 4 times hit the set with a quad on the turn once. Nice time and turnout.

Anything difference since then? Considering heading to AC now since im in the US right now. Is borgata still the place to go to or the casinos on the boardwalk?

I stayed at Ballys a few weeks ago

Gambling wasn't great. Not enough tables open. Crowd was kinda lame and older. Ceasers was a little better, it's connected so short walk.
If you stay at Ballys try to get in Ballys Tower (not the other one) and upper floors (Jubilee rooms) are fully recently renovated.
I have yet to stay at Ocean heard nothing but good things of late. That's where I am staying next visit.

Still cant go wrong with Borgata.
