Seen a post about the Taj Mahal in the Rounders thread. Lost interest in AC shortly after the Wild Wild West opened than when Borgata was built. After that just made trips to Vegas. Loved AC in the 1990s though.
What a great feeling it was going down that escalator at the Taj with the huge chandeliers with a wallet full of cash. As was the rush driving in from the expressway winding down the window to pay the final toll booth smelling that stinky ass Bay air knowing that soon you would be getting your gamble on. Loved that place. Always seemed to do well at the Taj and the tiny Claridge nearby donating to the homeless Veteran in the wheelchair with his legs tucked under along the way. Hey it was good-luck. My bankroll always got raped at the Showboat and Trump Plaza though. Learned my lesson the hard way there playing roulette using the Martingale system as a young dumb gambler. What a kick in the balls that was.
Now it was time to get yelled at by the Indian gas station attendant for pumping your own gas. I am sure this happened to others not knowing it was against the law to pump your own gas there. Cheapest gas prices in the Country too. "Relax chief, I got it." Thinking your doing him a favor and him tweaking out.
Than came the drive home. There was also no worse feeling than driving the AC expressway home broke with all those penetrating diseased looking deer everywhere that you thought were going to run in front of your car in the early morning hours to make your night a total penetrating disaster. Add in speed traps EVERYWHERE.
