CASINOS ARE OPEN !
Published Saturday, July 08, 2006 by baccarat_guy.
Quick report...
I was on the casino floor at 7:53AM --- got in a good few hours.
Logged on and checked the news (very early) --- as soon as I heard they got the go ahead to re-open at 6AM --- I was ready to go.
I played (by myself) the 1st mini-baccarat shoe to be dealt in the entire casino after opening. I also bet and won the first tie bet to be won after the casino opened. Things are getting very very busy... asian games room started to get filled up around 11am.. I have a very detailed record of that shoe --- unfortunately, only won $50 off of that shoe --- I did have a run of 8 in a row; needed it to go just a bit longer (lol).
Well... we are finishing our packing... and we are off to Cincinnati around 3PM. I'll have a more complete trip report upon my return.
BTW, I did get my CASH BACK for NEXT TRIP due to the 72 hour hiatus.

AC Casino Update - early AM Saturday

Well, it is NOW 2:56AM on Saturday, July 8th ---
GUESS WHAT --- the Casinos never opened; but to recap the great day (Friday July 7th) and evening :
So, for our anniversary night (July 5th) --- Mia at Caesars was open, and my wife and I had a most wonderful and relaxing (no rush to get to the casino --- lol) dinner. Last night, we had dinner with friends from Cincinnati (staying in Margate w/relatives) and friends from north Jersey (staying at Ballys -- I booked the comp room online --- no problem) --- we went to Cuba Libre at The Quarter, and it was a truly excellent dinner --- though, after 4 mojitos and multiple daiquris ---- how could anyone complain... also bought some great CAO cigars there, which I enjoyed on the walk back to Caesars. Spent today at Caesars Beach and Pool --- and weather was just perfect, low 80's, breezy and really relaxing.
Club Athena was CLOSED yesterday, but reopened today at 11am --- but, NO alcoholic beverages -- they said the bar staff was told to stay home -- Buffet at Caesars and Bally's was closed yesterday --- this morning the buffet at Caesars was closed, and the only place open was Cafe Roma (coffee shop) and Club Athena (Diamond Lounge) --- so basically, operations have been scaled back to reflect the limited number of people. Per the front desk at 1am Caesars was at 50% occupancy.
Information about the casino opening has been inconsistent (to say the least) --- some say by 11PM tonight (friday night) --- others say "definitely" by 8AM Saturday morning --- so, I guess well have to wait and see... I think it is an under commit and over deliver situation --- and that the casino WILL be open late this evening.
Regarding my ADT --- I have checked and my ADT did increase (80 points) because of my play on Sunday and Monday --- I am certain they are NOT counting the closing against me --- because if they did, my ADT would have dropped with the 2 days of no play. I was also told, that since there might be a 72 hour break in play, I might actually get my next visit cash back --- once the casino opens --- though, we will have to wait and see how that works out.
It will be interesting to see what the table minimums are when they open (hopefully) later this evening....
btw, my dad just called, and an interview by NBC Channel 4 NY on the Boardwalk was just aired, with me quoted as saying I was "anxious to get my hands on the dice again...."
2:42AM :
Show at Caesars was great tonight --- and we closed the Bikini Bar at Bally's --- got over 14 drinks free (thanks to xtra coupons from Caesars and betdponies --- ) --- so, we were basically able to drink ourselves silly on Harrahs Corp.
Well ---- it is now 2:42AM early Saturday morning the 8th --- CASINO FLOOR is absolutely dead --- no signs of life... so, the hope that things would open tonight NEVER happened... guess i'll have to see what things look like when I wake up in the AM. Got some great pictures of the casino floor and empty poker room, which I will post this week.
Good Night to all..... Michael
