@farmerman,
we went to AC twice some years ago . once from philly , once from wilmington , delaware .
cost us $8 for the casino-bus and we were given $8 in quarters upon arrival at trumps' .
not being gamblers , we took the $16 and had a nice dinner at merv griffin's casino .
we were quite fascinated by the behaviour of the gamblers : running around the table three times , kising the dice ... you name it . have never seen anything like that again . it was probably more entertaining than any floor show we could have seeen .
most interesting part were the people on the bus : on the way down , there was singing , gambling , tall tales ... on the way back it was like coming back from a funeral !
as people left the bus at various stops , we heard over and over again : "but next week i'm going to break the bank - have the winning system all worked out now ! " .
felt kind of sorry for the people - they seemed like a fairly decent sort .
