Hello All,

It has been a good five years since I been to Atlantic City.

I was wondering if anyone can give any insight to what the Showboat is like or would recommend any of the other nearby hotels as I am thinking about playing in some of the circuit events.

Thanks to all who respond.

O'Doyal - what is your daily hotel budget? I think that determines what the best recommendation would be. Showboat went through a recent renovation thanks to the HOB, but from my understanding the rooms are still average at best.

Since my wife will be with me if I go, a nice room and casino will take precedence over my budget. I guess I should have phrased my question better to reflect that. It still would need to be in close proximity to the Showboat.

Close is of course all relevant. If you want nice and close, I would recommend staying at the Sheraton (no casino), its probably the closest nice casino to the Showboat. Other than that, the only nice place to stay is either a suite at the Taj (expensive, forget about the poker rate on this one), a suite at Resorts (same deal, no poker rate), or cab it back and forth to the Bellagio - what many of the others who are attending the tournament will be doing.
