Atlantic City hotels and games

Last I knew Trop had some of the best games. Still true?

I'm staying at the Chelsey because it's next door, but is it close enough to visit the other Boardwalk casinos by foot even if I don't walk well?. Which othere have good games?

Anyone be there next week?

Trop still has decent games. 6 and 8 decks but you can find decent penetration if you look. It varies dealer to dealer. All games are still stand soft 17. The other casinos that have decent games in Ac are trump plaza, Resorts and Borgata. Borgata requires a jitney or taxi ride and probably resorts as well since you mentioned that you don't walk well. Trump plaza may be within your walk range. I guess its about 5 blocks.

Trump Plaza has uniform bad penetration.

Trump Plaza to the Tropicana is a FAR walk.
At least 1 mile I would think.
Easy enough to check with google maps or mapquest

Take a "rolling chair" on the boardwalk.

Closest to the Trop' is The Hilton.

There are some good games there at the $25 level.

Off hours / days the S17 six deckers just might be at lower stakes.

Near the High Roller Pit.

It's not a far walk. Takes 10 minutes. both google and yahoo maps says about 1/2 mile. Tropicana all the way to showboat is only 2 miles. You've got your distances a little screwed up.

As for penetration, I've been playing a bit more at TP in the past few weeks and can always find 75% or better. Not great, but not horrible for AC.

I'm there on Tuesday, but just to do a hit and run on a few Harrahs Reel Rewards before heading to Ft Dix for an end of summer bash.

Heading out Sunday AM, but will be just hitting AC Monday afternoon.
Maybe I'll see you. Look for the innocent looking winning ploppy from NY.;'-)

Thanks to all for the input.

PS: Google shows Trop to Trump about 1.4 miles walk == about 27 Minutes by them.

Tropicana is in the 2800 block of the boardwalk, Trump Plaza 2200 block. 6 blocks is not a mile and a half. Here's a link discribing tropicana as 5 blocks from convention hall, which is right next door to trump plaza.

map quest shows the distance to be roughly 2400 feet, which is just under half a mile.

I was using the Trump Taj address @ 1000 Boardwalk. I see the Plaza is less than 1/2 mile

Just got back this afternoon . . . FWIW, Trump Plaza is now all 8D, don't know if it will be a permanent thing or just for this past weekend
