My first Atlantic City visit. Can you believe it? I stay in one of the three out on the marsh. Ended up visiting two out on the board walk. Enterprise gave me an electric car that is not even on the market yet. Absolutely the best ride I have ever been in. Check out the Honda web site to get on the order list.
Many hard tables in AC. I can deal with bouncy but have not figured out hard. The big place south of the Las Vegas strip and airport is similar but worst.
I finally found a table out by the marsh that worked. There was just two of us. We were on opposite ends from each other with the stick in the middle.
My dice set was not working at first so I excused myself and hit the can for thinking time. I returned to the table with a new dice set and rolled forever it seemed hitting all the numbers but 3. I remember rolling four at least five times. I was not even aware of anything. I just kept grabbing the dice and throwing them.
When I finally rolled a seven the dealer congratulated me on a fine roll. He just kept going on. He told me I made the – All Tall and neatly won the – Small- and All or Nothing. The other guy won on the All Tall but I was not on them. I made out on all the other number though. It felt good to figure out the table though for future visits.
On another session I established the point and made bets on four and hard four. I threw the dice and hit the Hard Four. The female dealer celebrated when she spotted the Hard Four. LOL I really think dealers get bored seeing losers all day and get the same satisfaction as we do when something good happens.
I get satisfaction from a trip where I play a bunch a tables and find a couple of tables that will serve as my future ATM’s. I also appreciated that the dealers were chill about betting at all locations. Week days have ten dollar tables with locals playing. It’s cheaper to check a table out at $10 than $25.
White House Sub Sandwich shop is pretty good. Cheers

@goddess Hello Goddess, I tried Frontier Airlines for the first time. It is a two hour drive from our home in Maine to Boston. We have very good bus service from Maine to the airport terminals so I can take a nap.
It is 1 1/2 flight Boston to Philadelphia. One hour drive to AC from airport. It would be an eight hour drive from our house to AC.
I looked up what is available and found I can actually catch a flight out of Portland, Maine and knock off another two hours to the trip.
It’s just a habit to fly out of Boston but now that I caught the AC bug I will change to American airlines out of Portland.

Cotton Lob, I leased an electric car for 3 years. It took some getting use to . They sure do accelerate quickly. Lots of fun to drive.

@bigcasino Like driving a golf cart. Hitting the start button and not hearing anything then turning on the air conditioner in 90f heat and I have instant cold air.
The funny thing is when I got back into my 2015 Subaru Forester which I hate anyways with the creaking sounds of the car. Sounds like every part in the car is twisting and turning just moving and turning. We have 200,000 miles on it just from driving to casinos. The paint is bubbling up from under by the windshield.

That is one of the best ways to see if you really want the car with out buying it . Sometimes just a test drive is not enough . I would think after 200,000 miles most cars will make a noise . Even my body does that at times .
Start putting a payment away for down payment . Cars have gone up since 2015 .
Good Rolling .
