Ross has a problem with rap concerts at PMC.

Here's a similar thread he started in July 2015:

https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling-outside-vegas/atlantic-city/22764-alert-rap-concert-at-pnc-bank-arts-center-on-friday/

Interestingly, the first response in both threads are identical, and from the same author.

It's been 666 days between the OP's two warnings, which is an interesting number.

Also avoid stopping at the Cheesequake Service area as a lot of the "people" going to the concerts stop there before and after the show.

I love the PNC. Great place to see a show. Much less uptight than Jones Beach, which generally gets the same acts a day or two before or after.

I would appreciate the warning, but I avoid all of North Jersey all the time to avoid the rap areas lol. But, it is a valid concern, many concerts lead to rowdiness, but large rap concerts have historically been linked to shooting and gang conflicts, its just a reality.

Where is BB&T? Is that the one in Camden? Home to so many of "those people"? That place changes names even more often than the arena at Jones Beach.
That's the downside of taking corporate sponsorship.

Looks like many of the tickets for this are either $113 or $281 each, with a minimum purchase of two, plus tax & fees, depending on how close ya wanna get to the latest version of "bad boys" manufactured by the entertainment industry. So, I'm picturing several thousand spoiled suburban kids who went out to the mall and got their gangsta on at the Gap with daddy's AMEX card in order to feel appropriately dangerous at the New Jersey stop on the "Nobody Safe Tour" (*snicker*snort*giggle*).

Ho-hum. Seen that, done there. Decades ago, a time or two or ten, mostly sometime in the last century. Has always been the easiest kind of opportunity in the world for even the most doufus loser type horny guy to score a little sumpin-sumpin. Foolproof instructions: Don't shower, don't shave, throw on the most stanky duds that have been marinating in the bottom of the clothes hamper, go up to a gaggle of the bored suburban snots at something like this and speak to them as crudely as possible, like you've been raised by wolves, and you'll already be on third base. Some things truly never change:

I'm sure a lot of people in the past have had the same mentality. However as referenced by the articles linked rap concerts tend to be violent. Even in the areas around the arenas tend to be the worst. I worked in the DA's office in LA, and 95% of the cases I handled regarding rap concerts happened after the show in the immediate area of the venue. (i.e. roads leading to the venue and bus stops next to the venue)

It's also reality that anybody considering this a valid concern when a nearby rap concert is about one ten millionth as dangerous to casino patrons as the act of driving to the casino, is a in the grips of hysterical, racist fear.

It would be far more rational to warn of a light drizzle or a single pothole.

Probably also spends a lot of time cowering over terrorism. A nice way to go through life.

Assuming a 125 mile (NYC to AC) drive to the casino, the odds of dying in a traffic accident are about 1 in 1 million in New Jersey. (Source. You have to drill down to find the 2015 NJ statistics of Fatalities per 100 Million Vehicle Miles, which is 0.75)

I could not find any "Rap Concert" fatality data, but let's make the assumption that in a given year, one person is killed from violence after a concert. I think that would be an accurate, if not conservative estimate. Now, let's assume 100 rap concerts in a year in NJ with an average attendance of 10,000 people. Using these assumptions, there would be a 1 in 1 million chance of dying due to concert related violence.

So, using what I consider to be conservative estimates, it seems that the two are about equally likely.

Sure. But what if I happen to be driving near the "people" who attended the concert? I've done that twice and in 95% of those two times I'm pretty sure I almost died.

Sounds about right. Whew, you were very lucky -- that's only a 0.25% chance of surviving both times! ;)

I've never been to AC, but I think my biggest concern for this or any event in the area is that it would drive more traffic to the casinos, making the table minimums higher, spots at tables harder to get, etc.

I wonder what the mortality rate for playing beyond one's bankroll is. Probably about the same as the other two scenarios.

Yeah, table minimums go up, room rates go up, wait-times at restaurants and for drink service go up.

Study duration would matter, but I think people who play beyond their means probably kill themselves more than 1:1MM times. So busting the bankroll is probably the most dangerous of these things.

Speeders Paradox
The more time you spend on an interstate, the more likely you are to be involved in an accident.
The faster you go, the less time you will spend on the interstate, but the faster you travel, the more likely it is you will be involved in an accident. Therefore, the car driving slower will avoid accidents caused by speeding yet is exposed to more potential accidents by being on the interstate longer.
Throw a rap concert into the equation and all hell breaks loose.
It's why I prefer to travel by G6.
