    It’s gonna be really strict. I can’t see it being anywhere as easy breezy like Vegas.

    here is a good article I found online about Oceans opening back up. It seems that maybe they will give it the strongest go at least at first.

    Caesar's outdoor pool / dining is actually pretty good. I've ordered it and enjoyed it all 7 times I've been / done it. Also, there was a really attractive waitress that was taking shots with us. It was the best waste of money ever

    As an FYI, I'm debating booking Ocean's for this weekend. I'm a little nervous from what I've been hearing. Apparently we have rumors of folks 'shutting down AC'. I do like how well positioned Ocean's is to capitalize on the outdoor only.

    AC is not the only Jersey shore town trying to deal with the constant rule changes. Our favorite mom and pop motel in North Wildwood sent me an offer this morning for this weekend and throughout the coming weeks. This unheard of knowing they book full starting the last week of June through Labor Day. I think people are realizing it is not worth the risk, it will be interesting to see how well AC does with this opening.

    I'm wondering if the casino will comp drinks at the outdoor bars for those that would have lounge access or are gambling. For instance, I'm diamond at CET and Black at Ocean. I haven't seen any information about allowing me to get a free drink or two in the middle of my gambling at perhaps the Bally's Beach Bar or Ocean's O2 Bar.

    I may make an appearance Sunday afternoon/night. Not sure where yet. I think I can tier match to elite at Golden Nugget and I have never tier matched Oceans so I would hope that they would throw me a bone.

    I am diamond with Caesars and gold with mlife but if other properties are offering me more, currently, I would be willing to whore myself out.

    I heard that as well, so just take exit 40 and get on the White Horse Pike into AC. The Black Cat Bar and Grill in Absecon has a special, 2 pizzas for $20. Such a deal.


    Big fan of North Wildwood, spent many an afternoon listening to Charlie Gracie at Moore’s Inlet waaaay back in the day.

    Just a wild assed guess, but I think they may hand out drink vouchers to the Diamonds.

    F them where they stand, go to Ocean and see what you can negotiate.

    I have no offers from CET or Ocean. Nada. Persona non gratis. Bastards.
    I will probably be going down on Wed's (8th/15th) arriving around 10pm to see if drink comps are available at the bars at the time I would normally be able to access the lounge. Then a walk on the boardwalk and settling in to play around midnight. I figure it should be pretty empty at that time.

    Edit: ok. Just received some FP from CET-AC.

    Yeah, it's a no for me until there is food and beverage available. And no drinks while gambling? Lame. I've waited this long to visit so I can wait a little longer until it'll be a good experience.

Our team has been working hard, complying with directives issued by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, local government officials, and public health authorities, to make enhancements to our casino floors. We have rearranged slot machine banks to allow for appropriate social distancing, and fewer seats will allow for better spacing at table games. Additionally, all hospitality offerings & restaurants will reopen adhering to a reduced capacity and with social distancing practices in place.

    • Slot machines will be configured to allow for physical distancing and will be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
    • The number of players will be limited at table games and frequent sanitizing of chips, cards and dice will occur at all table games.
    • At our restaurants and bars, tables will be arranged to allow for appropriate physical distancing and large parties will be limited.
    • Pool chairs, loungers and cabanas will be arranged to allow for appropriate physical distancing and will be cleaned and disinfected frequently.
    • Additional amenities, such as our fitness centers and spas will open on future dates, as part of a phased approach that will comply with government directives.

    Just an FYI to anyone heading to AC on July 4. I heard about this protest rally/march and counter protest rally this morning on the radio. Hopefully nothing bad comes of this but be aware this could have all the makings of a very bad situation.
