Flights are rarely below $400 round trip, but hotel deals can always be found. And I go at least once a year because I love spending 3-4 days there - going from casino to casino, seeing friends, playing in different rooms, or just wandering around absorbing the sensory overload.<br /><br />But AC is maybe a 2 hour flight, in my time zone, and can be done for under $300 round trip easily. But their hotels (until recently) are ridiculously marked up and only a marginal step up from the motels outside of town. The casinos think they're Vegas, so there's no financial incentive to go either.<br /><br />But if there were more like the Borg there, I'd be inclined to visit because at least I'd be getting what I paid for, and the convenience factor could make it worthwhile.<br /><br />The other option is they realize they're a bargain basement Vegas and lower their table limits and prices accordingly instead of pretending their faded glory attracts anything but degenerates. At least then there's value. There should ALWAYS be $5 tables available in AC. I can find 'em on The Strip, but not on the Boardwalk?Astinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04349033187012323688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30420753.post-8081558809888273472009-10-27T12:47:17.439-04:002009-10-27T12:47:17.439-04:00Is it a "Field of Dreams" thing?
