Planning to go to either Vegas or Atlantic City this weekend or the 21st and Atlantic city hotel for one night is basically the same price as Vegas flight and hotel for 2 nights wtf is up with that?

Yep...I learned the same thing.
Let me save you from making a mistake...fk Atlantic City. If you're gonna do it, just always do it Vegas. Atl City blows, plus throw in no sportsbooks. But everything else about it sucks. It's not even safe to be outside anywhere once it gets dark. All the employees stress that to everyone.
And the hotels are EXPENSIVE. gay.Comment -
I have been to both. I used to go to AC two or three times a week when I was in NYC. Bread is right. It is not safe outside of the casinos after dark. Granted, they have cleaned it up lately, but the surrounding areas of AC are trash. Considering there are more hotels and casinos in Vegas than in AC, I think that is where the price differential comes into play. Vegas Baby Vegas all the way!!Comment -
Thanks for the heads up Bread, I fvckin hate jersey anyways my boy Jrich went and dropped $700 playing blackjack one night there with his brother from like 2am-8am, only a 3 and half hour drive as opposed to like a 7 hr flight is the only advantage, and your right about no sportsbooks that blows. As far as the not being safe part thats NJ for yah place is shitty, spent more time then I'd like there, was in Camden for 30 minutes one time and that is the least safe I have ever felt anywhere in my life I'm sure Atlantic City is better than that but not niceComment -
i get 25% off rooms at the Borgata if you need itComment -
Place must be real Nice $400 for a weekend night, I appreciate the offer I'll let yah knowComment -

Vegas has some great room rates right now.
Ive seen Mandalay Bay for 50, Luxor for 30..... a DT hotel had 4 days for $8!!!!Comment -
I will be in Vegas in about a week, and when I looked into where I would stay to live, I could not believe how inexpensive some of the hotels are.Comment -
Where the hell are those prices dagger? and thanks to who ever switched my title from vity to cityComment -

thanks casperComment -
Don't go to Atlantic City, the place is a sewer. When it is crowded you can't get good service because the establishments don't bring on enough staff. When it is deserted you can't get good service because the establishments don't have any staff.Originally posted by topgame85
The airport is on the other side of the planet from downtown, hard to get a car service. The air fare is so expensive because the airport is too small, is only serviced by a couple of airlines and the airport charges some really hefty gate fees.
Get this, there is no direct railroad from New York City to Atlantic City. Can you believe that?
The hotels are mostly rundown.
The hookers are oogly.
The weather is terrible most of the year.
I don't know where you live but Vegas, Bermuda, or the Caribbean are better choices.Comment -
I live just outside of DC and this really was the only reason I considered AC in the first place, its a day trip 197 miles basically 3-3 1/2 hours as opposed to a long ass flight but seems its still not worth it from all the reports from you all thanks for the heads upComment -
Heres some deals. If i knew when and which airport id be able to find u more specific deals.
Comment -
come visit me at foxwoods/mohegan. Its safe at night and the room prices arnt that bad. Comps are easy to get and im assuming the drive wont be that badComment -
actually we are rolling out are ACES train service from NYC TO AC with one stop in Newark,NJ, it starts this Friday and runs only on the weekends, since i am not in work now let me say this..DONT TAKE IT, it is about $50 one way and you get NO MONEY BACK. where are you can take Academy bus lines for about $60 round trip and you get $ back, plus it runs every hour or so 7 days a week, but buses do not stop at the BorgataOriginally posted by curiousComment -
Where is this located jamesComment -
You can take a bus from Port Authority to Atlantic City non stop. I still recommend Vegas.Comment -
AC is fine, most guys here do not know the terrain or understand NJ, it is very safe and clean. We recommend it here.Comment -
JJ, I have a very good understanding of the NJ terrain, but I still think the outside areas of AC are sketchy at best. I mean we aren't talking about Cherry Hill,Park Ridge, or Tenafly here.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -

NJ is not too hard to figure out JJ has decent areas and really shitty areas, was in Cherry Hill recently its not too bad but Camden is right up the street basically and Philly is close too, I just don't see NJ as having any really nice areas like most places its either ridiculously shitty or decent and livable but not nice or specialComment -

TopGame, there are some VERY nice places in NJ. It is called the Garden State for a reason. Granted there are places not so nice, but their are not many states that can claim beachfront land, farmland, city life, gambling, and major sports teams all in one state. I lived in Bergen County, and I have to admit, if I had the $$ to live there again, I would. Still doesn't change my opinion on the outskirts of AC though.Comment -
AC is ok for us in the Northeast.
Once you go one time, they will offer you free stuff.
When I go, I get free rooms, cash, and food, plus gifts. Cant beat it!Comment -
Have not seen the whole state obviously but every where I have been has been only average or really shitty, have not had great experiences there as a whole either. The reasons I have been there were never the most fun or exciting reasons either always there to fix a situation or to do buisiness never pleasure maybe I should give the NJ another chance one of these days and try to just go up and chillOriginally posted by CasperwaitsComment -
