One nite leaving there around 3 A.M. on the long walk from the poker room past the valet area to Pacific ave to catch a Jitney some drunk bum started harrasing me asking me for money. when I refused he started following me and cursing at me...I walked to the other side of the alley and turned around and went back into the casino for a bit b4 heasding out about a half hour later.

It was kind of scary becausde there was NO ONE around if this guy decided to attack me or something... I've walked through NYC and Paterson late at nite and not been as scared as I was by this experience

I have played at the Taj 1/2 NL a bunch of times. Whenever I have 1k+ on the table and I go to the bathroom or go have a smoke I simply ask for one of those plastic boxes to put over my chips. Someone usually makes a joke about it and I comment on how when I come back I want to still have them covered and thats the end of it, problem solved.

The concerns about someone sneaking into a hotel room and bums on the street are not problems with the Taj but are problems with Atlantic City, that is dirty, sketchy town and there are a lot of degenerates hanging around.


Of the 3 cities listed above I think that I would feel the most comfortable at 2am in NYC, then Patterson, then AC. For Patterson to be safer than AC says a lot...
