I would say it depends on what you want to do. There are two separate ends of town where I think you'll have a good time. You can either hang at the Marina end or down by the far end of the boardwalk( near the AC expressway). The only thing happening at the Marina end of town is the Borgata. So, if you go there plan on going only there. Great restaurants like the Old Olmsted Steakhouse, Bobby Flay and Sea Blue. They have a great buffet as well for breakfast if you're staying over. They have a cool bar called the Gypsy Bar which usually features a live band and they have a Comedy Club. Good concerts as well. I just saw the band Live there a few weeks ago. Down the other end of town isn't bad as well and you could casino hop. The Tropicana has excellent restaurants like Cuba Libre, P.F. Chang's and Carmines. Caesar's has Morton's Steakhouse and the Pier restaurants include Buddakan and Phillip's Seafood. Ruth's Chris is also nearby. As for night life, there is the 40/40 club which is owned by Jay-Z. Finally, they have outlet shops in that area as well. You'll have a good time for sure. P.M. me if you need any more info.

| Hey Denny - didn't you use to work in one of the casinos at one point?

| Yeah, although I hate to admit it. But heck, it helped get me through law school so I can't say it was all that bad. The worst part about it was the smoke. Ironically, the smoking ban went into effect about the time that I left.

| The smoking issue is why I remember you working in the casino. My wife and I were in the Showboat last Friday and the air wasn't too bad. Unless you play the machines that are near the tables that still allow smoking.
