Default Seeking Bus Info From Brooklyn to AC: Borgata/Taj/Other

Pre-Planning For First Trip to AC
Lowest Limit Hold'em

Are there any buses that go to the Borgata or TAJ from NYC? Even better would be any from Brooklyn - but I can get into Manhatten easily enough, especially Downtown or Chinatown.

I found a bus that leaves from my neighborhood, Sunset Park (Brooklyn Chinatown), but it goes to Tropicana. There may be one that goes to The Sands also. Is the Trop or Sands good for poker? All the bus operations I found out about so far (Trop/Foxwoods/Mohegan) give you $25-$50 in freeplay money usable at the casino they take you to, so I might as well take advantage of that.

Also, does anyone have any experience with not going back on your regularly scheduled bus and taking a later one? The bus operators I talked to said this is fine, but it is subject to seat availability and they couldn't or wouldn't give me a feel for how likely that is. Is there usually at least one open seat on any returning bus? The buses seem to allow for about 6-8 hours of play before returning. That might be fine, but the option to stay longer is nice if I wouldn't wind up getting stuck.
