I know you will find this ridiculous, but my friends and I now find it cheaper to fly to Vegas from DC for 3-4 days than to spend a long weekend in AC. Even shitty hotels in AC will run you $250/night on the weekends, assuming you can get a room and that its not summer, when it costs even more. I havent been to AC in a couple of years now, used to go all the time. Just not worth the drive to put up with the dealers attitudes, the high limit games and the general filth that the place exudes.
