Went to AC this weekend to see the Disco Biscuits at the House of Blues at the Showboat. Stayed at the Trump Marina.
The best quote I heard at about 4 AM in the lobby of our hotel: "There's more people in the bathroom at the Borgota than there are in the Casino here."
While I did wind up winning about $100 in some low stakes BJ playing for about an hour (it was the 4-5 AM slot post-show, and I'd been up since 7AM), I was disappointed that Trump Marina didn't have a poker room, as I was down for some hold-em.
Trump Marina is one run-down establishment. The parking garage is under construction. The outside pool/recreation area features crumbling concrete, rusted metal, and fenced-off dilapidated areas.
I hit the breakfast buffet a shade before closing just before 11:30 AM. Maybe I should have been sleeping, but with a business and a 2 year old, I just can't sleep till noon anymore. I digress... The host was very nice. Told me to grab a plate, as they would be clearing up soon. The waitress brought me some coffee and OJ, then told me to relax and take my time--enjoy myself. No more than 15 seconds after did she announce last call for the buffet. So much for relaxing... In about 1 minute the entire buffet was cleared away. Probably the most efficient display at the hotel for the brief duration of my stay.
Still had a better stay than the last time I went to see the biscuits in AC. Post show at that trip, one girl ripped my shirt in half, while her friend threw a cocktail in my face. Believe it or not, it wasn't my fault!
