ACES Train could be snake eye for Atlantic City.

Atlantic City will drive you nuts if you stare at it long enough. Let me first say that an express train between New York City and Atlantic City can be a core strategy for the long term plausabiliy of the market.


This is sounds like pure hatorade but it all stems from excitement. I wanted to book passage on the great new ACES train. 2 first class round trip tickets are $320. Throw in the $750 it will cost you to stay at Borgata for 2 nights and you are now over a g. If you are more than 2 people you are better getting a limo. Drinks are free and you leave on your schedule.

Aces takes near 3 hours and that is if things as scheduled.

If you could put this idea in a time machine and go back two or three years it might work.

The only people this makes sense for is the person who wants to get hammered all night and get back on the train in morning instead of paying the high rates for AC hotel rooms on the weekend.

This is the key to the viability of Atlantic City. Either more hotel rooms or FASTER ways to get people to town. With a casino a stones throw from all but the 5 boroughs the town is fucked.

A for effort. F for timing.
