Just Another Night at Borgata

Saturday night I got a call from pro poker player Chris Smith "Smitty". He just got back from Turks and Caicos where he made the TV final table on the World Poker Tour. Smitty got another perk Luke Palladino who runs Ombra at Borgata invited him for a tasting menu at Umbra.

On the way into the restaurant we noticed they were filming a reality show. One of the pAs informed me that it is the new Salt N Peppa reality show. I have no idea what channel it airs on.

Five of us devoured the 8 course meals. We had like 5 different wines. Needeless to say we were a little loaded. My buddies were also in town to go catch the Foo Fighters. The show was sold out and I had no gotten a ticket. No worries I guess some people didnt show up and I bought a ticket at face value from the box office.

Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters rocked the Events Center with some of their biggest hits. Also Grohl opend the show with a joke about the then absent Atlantic City Mayor Levy. Grohk said Bob was stashed at his house doing either Jegier or Meth. Im not sure.

Just another night at Borgata.

Atlantic City Live - Suck It Bitches

Fall is here but the fun isnt over.

Just becasue labor day has come and gone here in Atlantic City doesnt mean the fun is over. Most of the beach bars are still open on the weekends. Also this weekend Rotobowl is in town. One of the biggest fantasy football events in the world.

Also next month FHM is bring their digital hotties to Atlantic City for an event. Some of the coverage can be seen on Atlantic City TV.

A Good Room is Hard to Find

Atlantic City has run into a problem as of late. The town is jut too hip. A group of friensd of mine who used to always go to Vegas for bachelor parties were in town this past weekend. It took poking and proding just to get them a room for $400 a night. Holy snikees boss thats some big dough.

I did a little research after they left to see where they went wrong. First off they should have booked the rooms at least 2 months in advance. Maybe not booked but at least start shopping. Prices fluctuate constantly. I think the best place to check this out is probably Atlantic City Hotel Experts or the guys over at City Atlantic. They both offer in depth info on all the hotels in town. I figure with some planning you should be able to save about 25%.

The idea of getting a room comped is practically a myth on a Saturday Night in Atlantic City. You have to be a big player to get that done.

Best of luck. Hope I Helped.

When the King Comes to Town

The king of the blues BB King is headed back to Atlantic City this weekend. He is performing Saturday the Taj. This should be a good show BB has Al Green and Little Richard (LOL) opening for him. Although BB has been slowed by age there is still something about the way he works his guitar Lucille.

Expect to hear such greats as "Sweet Sixteen", "Let the Good Times Roll" and "Paying the Cost to be the Boss." Check out 123 Atlantic City they have some good info on the show and the Taj.
