Let me preface this by saying that I know A.C. is not Vegas as far as gambling goes and the town has never been confused with Hilton Head, but damn.
I've been out there every year for 8 years now with the exception of last year. We got back yesterday from four days out there early this week and the place has completely gone to hell. I'm talking about Detroit bad. It's just a slum these days.
We always stay at the Tropicana because I get comped there and it's just not work staying there anymore. I can remember when they had people polishing the brass fixtures everyday to keep the place looking nice. Now, there are handles missing from the front entry doors with duct tape covering the sharp pieces left hanging there. The room was awful, the staff is almost non-existent and those who are working can't do their job correctly.
The dealers in the casino suck anymore. None are friendly, a few didn't completely understand the rules to the games they were dealing and others simply made bad rulings that the camera had to correct.
I know the economy sucks and that has to be what has ruined the place, but damn, it doesn't have to be as bad as it is.
I loved the annual trip to A.C., but I think this is probably our last year visiting. We have casinos and bad service here these days, no need to drive 7 hours to get it.
