Also, agree. Suppose Disney had gone to Orlando Florida and made a third rate version of California's Disney Land? That seems to be what happened in AC.

Probably not the only problem but certainly was a factor in AC.



When AC first opened, its casinos were much bigger and nicer than anything in Vegas. The difference is that Vegas reinvented itself a bunch of times since then, and AC, aside from the Borgata and Revel, is pretty much still stuck in the 90s.

The Revel never got started. It's just STUCK!

We spent Wednesday and Thursday in AC. Honestly, Mrs and I didn't really get out of the casinos. Borgata was hoppin' both days. Revel was deserted Thursday morning and afternoon (we were in the smoking section, but didn't know it until we saw the signs). Caesar's was smoky and uncomfortable. Harrah's was crowded.

The "kids" (in their 20s, don't gamble) walked the boardwalk Wednesday, and went to the outlet stores Thursday, and seemed to enjoy themselves. But there aren't any crowds in their pictures.
