As I mentioned on Friday, I spent this weekend down in Atlantic City, which was very enjoyable even though I neglected to bring along quite enough luck (and as I was reminded on both the ride down and over the casino soundsystem, only the lucky ones get lucky; there's some other saying that starts out "unlucky in cards..." that I'm banking on kicking in now that I'm back, though). A ubiquitous sight around the dumpy seaside gambling mecca this weekend were casino employees on strike walking up and down the boardwalk all day and all night long, which severely impacted the delivery of complimentary drinks to the gaming tables among other things. If any readers happen to be planning a trip to AC soon, the Sands and the Borgata have evidently signed the contract in question, so no picket lines will need to be crossed to stay or gamble in those establishments. Unlike the Tropicana and Resorts... we just had no idea when we booked the room and got the tickets to the show, but don't make the same unlucky mistake yourself.
