A.C. Faq Draft

[poker327]

I put together a simple FAQ. Please correct or add to it if you wish to. I will submit this to the moderator to see if we can add it to the top of the page. I left out opinions on purpose, even though I know they are asked about a lot, such as, which casino has the softest 2/4.

Information as of 5/18/05:

The following casinos have poker: Taj Mahal, Tropicana, Borgata, Sands, Ballys, Resorts, Harrahs, Showboat (House of Blues poker room opening 2005/2006). The first three are the major rooms in A.C. (House of Blues may become the fourth).

Transportation in Atlantic City:

The two main ways of getting around A.C. besides walking are jitneys and cabs. Cabs charge a maximum of $8 to go anywhere in Atlantic City. Jitneys are small blue buses that cost $1.50. They run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All casinos are accessible by a jitney. Only the #2 jitney goes to the Marina District (Borgata, Harrahs, Trump Marina). Jitneys are typically slower than cabs. Jitneys can be picked up on Pacific Avenue, among other places in A.C.
