Atlantic City, NJ OTB

Good day,

I will be visiting Atlantic City later this month. Can someone point me in a direction of which Casino has an OTB in it? I know Borgata does but there is another one I was last last time. I just cant remember.

Absolutely correct. Still the best even when there were more. Only problem now with being the only game in town is the availability of seating on the weekends. Most seats, even the bar, are reserved

During the week is ok, the weekends I know can get very busy. I plan on heading down for a weekend over spring break in march. My favorite race book anywhere. Nice to have a bar without a video poker screen on it

That place gets packed on the weekend and if you don't have a seat it sucks. There's an island that you can stand next to and look at your racing form but the smoke you eat is terrible. Don't horse players know smoking is bad for them?

It was always the best even in the beginning when it was in the basement although Ballys wasn't bad.

There is an OTB in Mays Landing by the mall which is worth visiting for archeological reasons, although that may have closed now that I think about it. I know no live racing, anyone know?

Almost certain the AC Racecourse OTB is done. You either have to go to the casinos, or to Vineland or Gloucester OTW.

personally i think bally's should start simulcasting again. i'd move/eliminate some poker tables and put it behind the escalator to caesars by the pacific av entrance. there's plenty of room.

also hard rock is supposedly buying taj and could be a candidate? i've never been to a hard rock?

I will be here on March 16 and 17 if anyone else on the board plans on going, say hello. Cant miss me haha.

Called and got my seats reserved at the bar.

I used to like Ballys horse book, but borgata is looser with drink tickets, its a nicer venue, and they give you back at least something on your wagers in comp dollars.

they give out drink tickets like they are going out of style there. Ask for at least one or a couple based on the size of your wager.
