Reno vs Atlantic City (bigger, life, people, size)

Reno is more fun, in my opinion.

The problem with Atlantic City, for me is twofold.

The gaming sucks. In Reno you can get a single deck shoe.

And there are lots of places in AC I simply don't feel safe. Not so much in Reno.

That's a picture of the South Bronx.

I definitely think that's Bx (in the 70's). Look at the burned out car on the extreme right.

I don't think the gaming market/casino offerings in Reno are on par with AC (just looking at the names in AC vs. Reno) IMO. I don't think there's anything in Reno like the Borgata/Harrah's water tower (then again, they do have mountains, some prefer beach, but it's up to the individual which poison they choose)

Atlantic city wins easy. Not just the city is better but Atlantic city wins in location, being in the Philadelphia area and it is also only a couple of hours away from New York City.

And this is why New Jersey residents MUST remain vigilant on this board. Others LOVE to define New Jersey (even by false means).

I am curious on your gaming, table for table and machine for machine, AC outpaces Vegas, meaning the gaming is more serious, I am really curious why you say this, What i like about Vegas is you can get a seat at $25 table on weekends, even $10, in AC not usually an option at a premium casino in AC on the weekend, or if they are, they are loaded with unknowledgable players. I actually find the level of table play in AC superior to Vegas

That's not AC- IDK where that is but I know for a fact that it's not AC.

If you right-click on the pic you can see where it came from. It's from this album of vintage photos of urban decay from the South Bronx

Atlantic City. The location is better.

Atlantic City isn't even urban to have apartments looking like that. I've never felt scared in Atlantic City (except that Wild Mouse ride, I hate those ones).
