You are mentioning things and places that millions of people have experienced, and all those experiences were as a tourist and have nothing to do with gaming. You brought up hurricane Sandy which has nothing to do with casinos in addition to only happening a few years ago. I have never heard of Kinght's Hamburgers or of an annual Fireman's convention and bringing that and other things into this thread also have no meaning when speaking about the casinos.

You stated you were at Resorts on their opening day. I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

I never said that my "accuracy" is better than anyone else's, so please don't even intimate that's what I've said. And yes -- because I lived there before and during the advent of casinos and worked there for five years, there is no doubt in my mind that this is one area where I definitely know more than you.

My experience @ Resorts opening day - abominable! So much so that we left after obtaining our "courtesy card" and attempting to battle crowds and went to The Sweetwater Casino in Mullica Twnsp. for dinner!!!!

How could you claim such an intimate relationship with A.C. and never have heard of the annual firemen's convention?[/QUOTE]

An "intimate" relationshiip with Atlantic City? Your verbiage is laughable. I lived there; that was what my relationship was with Atlantic City!

I'd be willing to bet that if you asked 10 people from Atlantic City, most, if not all of them have never heard of a firemen's convention. It isn't anything important to residents that live there and not many people pal around with firemen. What makes this particular convention so important?

Where is this Kinght's Hamburger place that you say is so well known? I guess your experience with Resort's opening day was non-existent since you left with only a courtesy card. Well, I will tell you that you missed something that will never be recreated anywhere in the U. S. again. It truly was an experience!

1. I don't care what you would be willing to bet. I know the facts re the convention because I lived it! Am sure it was not important to you as it was to the businesses who benefitted from any A.C. convention. The only folks who were bothered were those who were inconvenienced by the parade that took hours to make it thru town!
2. Not many people pal around with fireman? Bwahahahaha!
3. Why is the convention important? Because of the rulemaking that takes place there that impacts the life of a fireman who serves the public!
4. Did not say Knight's was well known - said it was one of my personal experiences! It was a couple of blocks off the boardwalk - down toward the area of Resorts if I recall correctly. Do recall that it was owned by a family from Margate with whose daughter I attended college. Visited them many a weekend many years ago!
5. Opening day @ Resorts - yes, an experience - abominable! Good thing it will never be repeated!

PS - I have nothing further to add nor play tit-for-tat any longer. Take the last post if you wish and have the last meaningless word.
