KingRevolver Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Trump Plaza, The Showboat, and Revels are all closing. 5,000 people will be out of work. When is the last time any of you went to AC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milwaukee mike Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 i was there with the whole family last summer. it was a lot of fun for a few days. the surrounding area isn't the greatest, i would imagine with the increased unemployment it is gonna be worse.

Blue Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Was there a few weeks ago, ac is ac. No one goes to any of the places that are closing anyway, revel was just a bad concept. Showboat and trump plaza both are total shit holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadillac Pete Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 With the casinos that were built in PA, New York, Conn, Delaware, and Maryland AC was doomed to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texastoughguy Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Not looking good. just what that area needs even more unemployment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterman Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Back in the 80's we would charter buses for the 5 hour drive, gamble all day, stumble back on the bus, take a roll call of who won for the day(not many hands ever went up), and continue to get wasted while the porn went on. The drink servers were tipped well and not disrespected. For those of you wishing to take a trip down memory lane or for you young guys thinking of avoiding your third DUI by hopping on the bus, the bad news is that masturbation was not allowed. Seemed like fun at the time but I probably wouldn't go back even if I had a free room. Yeah, writing was on the wall for Atlantic City when the Indians got their reparations deal.

TommyL Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I swung by the Revel quick on Friday just to stop in there one last time (only live about 35-40 minutes away). It sucks that these 4 are/will be shutting down, but at least it should help the other 8 with some increased traffic as the number of options decrease. I was at Wild Wild West a couple of weekends ago and it was great. Even the Revel seems to be crowded on the weekends in the summer, but it's the empty rooms during the week and in the offseason that is killing these places.

KingRevolver Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah, all those old folks from surrounding areas stopped traveling all the way to AC when casinos opened up closer to them. New Jersey needs sports betting, ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
