First time in AC

Well, we left Monday around 4pm. I was expecting AC to be an absolute ghost town, but it wasn’t. I was really surprised and happy about it. I’m not the biggest fan of AC, but root for the town to do well. One thing that I always forget, but get constantly reminded about, is the exceptional food AC has to offer.

 

Upstairs bar in Caesars? Where upstairs? The only bar upstairs that I know is Nero's, I never heard of a DJ.

 

Thanks to @Dancingkookie foe the hoodie, I love it, only a few of you will get it!

 

The Wild Wild West Bar area is my favorite part of Atlantic City. You have EVERYTHING you need. Tables, slots, sportsbook, bars, entertainment, food, beach.

 

I had the best time touring around with the two of you… and eating cookies!!!

 

Those of you that get it are my people!!!

 

I’ll talk. ‘LBC’ is Long Beach, California. A gift from @Dancingkookie to @EastCoastVegasFan! for showing her around AC. If he goes out to California he’ll have to bring her an ‘LBI’ sweatshirt for our own Long Beach Island which is a phenomenal beach haven.

As for cookies, well, that’s me. I end most of my trips to the lounges with taking a coffee to go and a few cookies from the dessert area. This time I took a few cookies for me AND a few for @Dancingkookie. They were these great Italian piniola nut cookies drizzled with chocolate. (Everything here is Italian). Then I get the news of nut allergies and end up with almost a boxful of cookies that @Dancingkookie put in her purse for me. Then there’s broken cookies and crumbs (and chocolate smears?) in her definitely high-end leather purse. Whoops. And still only laughs and smiles from her upon our parting. Nice woman.

 

Very nice woman, and, no mention of the Jitney that hit the gas on me?! Pretty funny story!

 

I had the best time! Thank you so much for showing me around and all the insider tips to AC. I hope you have finished all those cookies now too! My tj maxx purse will happily hold all your future cookie endeavors!

 

That was a classic moment when you and @smerrian were trying to figure out transportation and he just took off on us all! Good thing we could just walk across the field together @EastCoastVegasFan! Too bad we didn’t beat the Jitney

 

So much drama in the LBC

 

Memorable walk! F*%k that Jittney driver! Lol!

 

I've walked that field, drunk, from the Borgata to Harrah's in my late 20s. I remember waking up with shrubbery on my clothes the next morning in the Water Tower, good times lol.

 

To me upstairs is I suppose technically the first floor, but it's the bar I think called 1402 or something strange. Wife and I just always refer to upstairs as the floor with the players club and downstairs as the floor with the cage. Looking back at it now though, the toga bar is actually the one with the dj.

 

Please tell me the back says "so much drama..."

 

The food scene in AC is really awesome, but even better to me than just the scene is the value of it too. We always feel like we eat like royalty in AC on half the budget of LV or even NYC or Philly

 

Speaking for myself, let's hear about some of the hijinks that happened this weekend in AC.

If the weather cooperates, you might want to check out Setaara, they have outdoor dining in a two level courtyard setting along with indoor tables. Free parking and about a block south of Formica Bakery and White House.
