Atlantic City’s #3!

by Marc April 11, 2012
Atlantic City Always Turned On

Sure Pennsylvania is an entire state and Atlantic City is just a city, but it’s meaningful in the casino business that Pennsylvania hopped over Atlantic City for #2 in gambling revenue. Of course, Las Vegas remains #1. Pennsylvania’s 11 casinos raked in about $233.1 million in gross slot machine revenue last month, the Associated Press reports, [...]

Week In Review

by Marc April 8, 2012
Revel Pool & Cabana

It was a very exciting week with Revel finally opening for it’s preview in Atlantic City. So far the place looks beautiful. While marketing their image and beautiful property let’s hope they don’t forget the gambling. It’s already difficult being an individually owned casino property, but not having a credit application anywhere on their site can’t be [...]

Take A Look Inside of Revel

by Marc April 3, 2012
Revel Pool & Cabana

Revel is officially open and it looks as nice as I have imagined. Much like Cosmopolitan people are taking pictures everywhere that’s not the casino. The photo above is of a cabana and the pool area, which I think I like a little too much. Below are links to a bunch of pictures from opening [...]

Week In Review

by Marc April 1, 2012
Playboy Tower Palms

It was a really fun week in Vegas. It started off with a day and night in downtown Vegas. I haven’t done that before since I’m either around for one of the other, but I got the best of both worlds and had a blast. I met up with a few cool people and got [...]

I don’t play casino poker, but I try to keep up on the happenings because I like the game. I just prefer playing poker with people I know. A couple days ago I was checking out Pokerati, one of the only poker sites I read, and saw a couple pictures of the Poker room at Revel and figured [...]

Rumor: Playboy Club Going to Cosmopolitan?

by Marc March 28, 2012
Playboy Tower Palms

I don’t like passing on rumors, but if I see or hear the same rumor enough times I figure that there must be fire near all the smoke. The most recent rumor is that the Playboy Club, which is closing at Palms, will be re-opening next year at Cosmopolitan. First there was a comment on [...]

Goodbye Harrah’s Chester…Hello Harrah’s Philly

Harrahs Chester Philly

I woke up to a tip from MikeWolf13 on twitter (thanks Mike!) that Harrah’s seems to be changing Harrah’s Chester Casino & Racetrack to Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack. I’m not going to make believe I know why Harrah’s Caesars used Chester instead of Philadelphia when initially branding the casino and I don’t care enough to look. That said [...]

Are Slots Getting Too Themed?

by Denver Gambler March 21, 2012
Batman Slot Machine

There is no doubting the popularity of themed slot machines in casinos and especially Las Vegas. Slot machines in general are appealing due to their simplicity and that anyone can play without feeling intimidated. In Las Vegas, you have a lot of people visiting who are novices to gambling. While table games can be intense, [...]

The Implications of Closing O’Sheas

by Denver Gambler March 19, 2012
o'sheas las vegas

By now I’m sure you have heard that O’Sheas will close on April 30. Officially, this is happening to make way for further Linq development as Caesars Entertainment attempts to liven up their block of the Las Vegas strip. While additional shopping, food, and a ferris wheel aren’t enough to get my juices flowing, thinking [...]
