u can go to ac and save some time, I dont know about FW though

[oddjob]

is there a train or bus that goes to AC? i thought AC was like 3 hours away from nyc. they say foxwood by train is lik 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

FW is 90 min train ride to New Haven + hour bus ride. You can get the packages at Grand Central.

[RollaJ]

As long as you dont hit rush hour traffic AC should be about 2:15-2:30 to AC. They have busses at Penn station and you get most of the cost back..... it should cost you under $10 to get there and back

I actually thought FW took longer, but I usually go on Friday and hit traffic /images/graemlins/frown.gif

You can go to AC via greyhound and they can usually have a cash back deal when you arrive in AC. Just check the schedule carefully to see when you have to go back and from which casino.

Isnt it Academy, not Greyhound?

[pokerlover]

I moved down to Florida about 4 years ago. At that time it was Greyhound. Academy might do it as well or now but I am not sure.

Both Greyhound and Academy go to AC. But neither goes to the Borgata. I take the bus to The Showboat or the Trump Marina and take a cab from there.

The buses are from Port Authority not Penn Station.

[RollaJ]

Oops, Port Authority I stand corrected, sorry /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I too took it once to showboat and walked over to the TAJ (its right next door)
