Open season for some robbers in Trump Casinos

[Tico]

Muggers beat up & robbed 3 patrons of $7,000, $5,000, and an undisclosed amount. 2 patrons were hurt badly and were sent to hospitals. The 3rd patron was knocked down on the elevator floor and also got kicked & beaten up by 2 muggers. Hmm... guys... don't leave home for AC without a pepper spray !

Wow! So much for AC. The games have gone way down hill and now you can't even go to the bathroom without fear of getting mugged. AC's financial situation is bad and it seems to me they've made too many cuts in the security department in an attempt to save money. Walking the long stretches between casino's on the boardwalk is one thing but going to the bathroom and riding the elevator to your room or your car are quite another. It seems there is no reason to go to AC anymore. RIP AC...JtMM

What would be the safest way to go from one AC casino to another? Is there regular bus service or something called Jitneys?

[mathman]

Taxi's, casino shuttles and jitneys, in that order but if they're mugging people in the bathrooms and the elevator going to their room I question safety period. Traveling in a group is probably the best answer but working and keeping others entertained is sometimes difficult. AC isn't sounding too good anymore...JtMM

The key thing is be aware of your surroundings. If you fear the people near you, don't go into enclosed spaces like an elevator or in the bathroom. If you see someone following you, go into some safe place. Better yet, don't go to places like the Taj. Stick to the higher end casinos.

You mean even Taj is bad?

[Thunder]

Hahaha, let's put it this way. The Taj is the murder capital of Atlantic City. In my experience, I would have to say that the Taj and Trump Plaza are the most dangerous casinos to go to followed by maybe Bally's, then Resorts, and Showboat for the top 5 crime infested casinos.

Doesn't leave much of the boardwalk.

There is about 25 ft of boardwalk near entrance to Caesars that feels relatively safe during the day.

The north end of the boardwalk has become quite dangerous over the last few months. I've been going to AC about 4 times a year for past 10 or 12 years and it is scarier now than I ever remember seeing it. I stayed at Taj Mahal a few weeks ago and never really felt safe, day or night, outside or in and I am a pretty big, menacing looking guy. And then on top of it, as if the crappy games, and constant presence of aggressive hookers and muggers isn't enough........I saw a mouse run right across top of a bank of video poker machines one night.
