just got back from atlantis 4 days
bj rules: 6 deck;ss17;das;spx3;dbl any 2 cards;spl aces 1;no sur;
bj 3:2; 1- 1/2 pen
pit is aware of everything; dealers are pleasant & knowledgeable
2 $15 tables in entire casono; 2 $25 tables in ea pit ;rest are 100-200-500 in ,3 pit areas & they are full.
1 bj pit has automatic constant shuffle (yup & $500 table with shuffle is full)
I did'nt feel any heat at all. I used the following camo: always even money on bj, s16v10, d9v2,d8v6,s12v2 regardless of the count.
I also always sat in seat 1,2, or 3. 1-10 bet spread
I played for 1-1/2 hrs ea day twice for a total of about 13 hrs , avg bet $105 @ $25 table.
They won't tell you your comps until checkout time.
My room was @ casino rate + I rec. $400 off my bill.
comp formula is 25% of expected loss/ 60 hands per hr x 2% expt loss x avg bet
thanks & comment if you take issue

Thanx.

Did they actually TELL you this:

" ... comp formula is 25% of expected loss/ 60 hands per hr x 2% expt loss x avg bet."

They give you $400 'off' your hotel bill. What was the total you paid, with taxes and fees ?

Also, I presume that there were no food comps.

What the heck is an "energy surcharge." Is this just a way to charge 124 and call it 100 or is it based on how much energy you use?

Electric Power is not generated within The Bahamas.
The Atlantis purchases it (as does the entire country)and
then they pass along a very profitable (per diem) flat fee .
I always suggest to visitors that they bring their own lightbulbs.
Reading in your room, after dark, is truly not feasible.
I kid you not.
Paying for "maid service" is not optional either.
Food is mediocre at best and absurdly overpriced.
Service, in general, is thoroughly abysmal.
Gratuities are automatically included.

BJ is mediocre and dealt by dealers who seenm to be in a trance.
I estimate that full tables get well under 50 hands per hour.
The games are mediocre and are heavily surveilled.
I was backed off betting light to chunky green.
Generally, guests are not rated for comps under the $200 average bet per hand.

Thanks for the info Flash. That sounds absolutely horrible.

Directly across from the entrance to Atlantis is a smaller complex called the Comfort Suites. A large one bedroom with a kitchenette for a week costs what Atlantis charges for two nites. Guests at Comfort Suites get full guest privlieges at Atlantis.

Dude you're an idiot. Of course The Bahamas generate their own electricity. Why the hell would you say they don't? The BEG (Bahamas Electric Corp.) might disagree with your statement as well. Sure the hotels have to buy the electricity, but so does everybody else. As a matter of fact genius, unless you power your own home privately with gas powered generators or some alternative method, every dwelling in this country pays for their electric too. Do you get an electric bill at your home? Does this mean the U.S. doesn't generate its own electricity?

I am an idiot, huh ?
I imagine that your intellect is pretty average.
But more importantly, you do not have the maturity to consider that you are misinformed.

Just because there are power companies that PROVIDE electricity, does not mean that they necessarily produce 100% of what they provide.

Even in the U S A Power Companies sometimes have to buy power from other states. California utilities are notorious for this during heat waves in the summer months. Several years ago, there was a great hue and cry from Californians re: their being overcharged for the imported electricity.

In my state, CANADIAN electricity is purchased, occasionally, as needed, from our northern neighbor.

I often find myself questioning the validity of any statement made by someone addressing me as "Dude" a little more closely than I would otherwise for some reason...
