We had fun at the Showboat this past weekend, but left a bit poorer than we had hoped. Last few times down we'd actually hit a bit, either breaking even or coming back with some extra cash. Naturally, that streak couldn't last, could it?

Kristina & Devin got me over to the roulette tables again and I was actually a few bucks up, until I got cocky and started betting $5 dollars on the edges instead of sticking to $1 bets inside. Didnt' take long for my stack of chips to shrink and it was time to cash out. Ended up giving my last few chips to the dealer (spinner?) anyway.

Our friends Pete and Bella had a room over at the Borgota (the newest AC casino/hotel). The place is huge and on Sunday was totally packed. It took us over a half hour just to pick up our cards and there were lines for everything. The rooms were okay, but the room at the Showboat was actually larger and much cheaper (at least with our 'special rates'). In my book the place is designed to look as much like a Vegas casino as possible. Basically, Vegas for those who've never been.
I will admit that the pool area at the Borgota was nice, with a beautiful stairway entrance and plants all around. It features hot tubs at either end and doors leading out to a patio, plus his/hers showers. Much nicer than many of the other casino pools in AC.

This will probably be the last AC trip we'll be taking until after our move back to Brooklyn. We figure it might be smart to start putting some bucks aside for things like moving, fixing up the new place, etc. :-)
