I've tried searching for it but couldn't find another thread with the same topic. So, the express train from NYC to AC will finally start running starting February 5th. Thoughts, anyone?

Hey Bambuk, Showboat had it last week--$15 table minimum.

Well, he looked like a normal guy. Now I wish he had a glass eye, or a unibrow or an extra finger or two…At least it would be a whole lot easier to track him down. :) What was he doing? He was counting cards---duuuh! The Black Swan, says you? It’s sitting on my nightstand along with The...

Errrm...no. I was thinking more along the lines of a not so subtle card counter.

Thank you! At first I just couldn't deal with it and kept whining and complaining to every single dealer (to no avail) but after a couple of days, I've accepted it. Didn't get used to it mind you, but have made peace with it. :) I completely agree that it's easier/faster to make decisions...

:) I don't see any kids in my future--at least not in a 3 mile radius (neighbors are allowed to have them, if they must). I do work hard, done with school, love veggies, take B12 supplements (would that suffice?) but alas, don't pray much. Does meditation count? Do I get to be a casino bum now?

Can I come with you? :) Do you work? How the heck can you take off just like that? *green with envy*

Oh, c'mon no need to call people names. :P If I wanted to be a bona fide tourist, I'd go see one of those crappy shows on the strip, or I'd catch 'the Light Show' on Fremont Street or 'the Water Show' at the Bellagio. I was surprised the place was pretty empty on a Friday night...When I sat...

Hello all, I haven't been here in a while but I got back from my first trip to Vegas about 2 weeks ago (yeah, it took me that long to recover) and decided to share some snippets/observations with you. I was on vacation so didn't really use my 'advantage play' prowess to full extent; I was...

Well I ended up going to AC yesterday. The place was pretty packed, but the crowds dispersed soon after midnight. I was able to get the $5 table after a shortish wait. All other tables were $25 and up. Plenty of $25 tables by the way. Happy New Year to all!

This is literally a last minute thing--I was wondering if it's worth heading to AC tonight. Has anybody been there for New Year's Eve? Will it be mobbed, are table limits generally higher? I usually go to the Borgata but wouldn't mind checking out the Boardwalk casinos either. Comments...

Hello all, I apologize if this was discussed already--I've searched the forum and couldn't find the right answer. Do automatic shuffling machines have any impact on the flow of cards? If you could choose, would you go with ASMs or dealer shuffled cards? I ended up going to AC and started...

@ all Guys/gals thanks for your input much obliged @ Tarzan I do go to AC--Borgata mainly. The dealers do not show burn cards most of the time (at least not @ my table). @ Canceler I'm glad you liked my name. I was feeling a bit uninspired. I did want to make sure people know I'm a...

Hello all, I've been following this forum for about a month or so but so far I haven't actively participated in discussions. I do have one question (and do forgive me if it's been discussed before)--what do you do with the 'burn cards' that dealers discard at the beginning of a new shoe as...
