That’s because AC knows it has a captive audience. The only competition is Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun which are both a) farther away and b) more expensive to get to from NYC.

Posted by: Alceste at September 23, 2008 at 5:39 pmIt’s a matter of supply. There are far fewer rooms in AC. There’s always been a room shortage there. In Vegas, you have all these mega-casinos with 4,000-5,000 rooms that you simply don’t have in AC.

Yeah… I actually had a comp cancelled on me for the first time, like, ever. I didn’t know they could do that. So I’m shelling out $600 to spend the weekend. Unreal.
