Here comes summer.

It seems like last winter would never end. Now for the next few months Atlantic CIty can retrun to form. Jimmy Buffett will soon be back in Boardwalk Hall making us all forget about teh horros that go on just beyond the doors.

Recently the Casino Control Commission approved the auction of the Tropicana. It appears the former owner of the Sands in Atlantic City Carl Ichan will be the winner. I am not excited about this one bit. This guy has been behind the AC Sands and the Starosphere i Las Vegas. Not exactly two winners. He will likely prop the thing up just long enough to get it ready for a real buyer like Penn National or Mohegan Sun.

Meanwhile the main benefactor of the issues AC is having are people wishing to stay overnight. The room rates have dropped to an almost affordable level. Enjoy the the summer. It can be worse than the winter can it.
