Atlantic City trip Day 1

February 27, 2026 1 comment

So over the past week won a Super Bowl block for $175 then managed to spin that up to $1000. Playing cards between Perryville poker room and a Championship tournament in my local home game. Decided to get out of town with my wife for a couple days to Atlantic City.

We normally stay at Harrahs because we are always treated great there, practically locals in our favorite Poker bar “ the exhibition bar”. However my wife wanted a change of pace so we booked Cesars for 2 nights…

First off it’s a Wednesday so maybe that’s part of it, but no poker room was definitely a miss. Even the poker room at Ballys next door would have been okay but that’s gone too? Shame on me for not doing my research however the website says poker but it’s now only the dealer table game version Ultimate Texas holdem.

Poker Bar was great instantly served drinks while you play didn’t have to wait for the “ green light” and the bartender was amazing. played on the machines there and then I headed to the tables. Played Ultimate Texas Holdem and ended up +$200. My wife text me she was hungry it was 600pm so ok let’s eat however the only place open was Ramsays Pub? Don’t get me wrong I love Gordon, my brother has even met him, but the only restaurant I’ve ever had a complaint about in AC is the only place open in this huge casino at 600pm?

Hells Kitchen was also open

The meal was okay, my wife had a burger and I had fish and chips. Then went back to the tables tried to play Ultimate Texas Holdem again but the only table open was full. I played Top Flush, then 3 card poker both of which I hardly won more than 2 hands, lost $200 on each game! I did try to get even on craps but I should have just bet for 4 rollers to hit craps on 2 rolls each.

I decided to go back to the room and chill for a bit.. which really means lick my wounds. After talking to my wife for a bit we decided to change hotels so tomorrow we will be at Tropicana, nice room and more places to eat. My wife doesn’t really gamble so enjoying a nice dining experience is her jam!

We will see how it goes. Better food options and a poker room, so hopefully a better experience!

So for my poker followers, Cesars is not it! Great room just not the games that I was looking to play.

For Future reference the only poker rooms in AC are:

Borgata

Harrahs

Tropicana
