      Comments Off on DFAW #162: All These Plans Have Changed

On episode 162 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz Podcast, Kyle and Craig look back at a time when it was impossible to get change (before Covid), and a winter storm that cut the Steel Pier in half. Then we get into trip plans because we’re just a few days away from heading to AC, but a lot of the plans have already changed and the rest is just us being indecisive.

We didn’t find any news interesting enough to talk about, but we did cover the October gambling revenue.

Also, here’s the video of the 1962 storm that we discussed, if you have three minutes to kill.

On episode 160 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz Podcast, Kyle and Craig look back at the humble beginnings of the Dennis Hotel, a shipwreck that has become a historic site, and a random Steel Pier concert poster. Then we skip the news and the Boardwalk Empire recap because Kyle went to AC and has a trip report! Hear his thoughts on:

  • The Borgata experience.
  • Dinner at Izakaya.
  • Spa prices.
  • $20 chips.
  • Finally getting AC time without Craig.
  • Getting “flat bet” without a players card.

Also be sure to check out this glorious vintage Boardwalk photo that we were ogling during the post-show discussion.

On episode 159 of the Atlantic City and Casino Biz Podcast, we start by remembering Darryl McEwen, who died on October 10th at age 72. Darryl published the Seven Stars Insider website, wrote the Mr. AC Casino column for Atlantic City weekly, and did a monthly feature on Atlantic City events for TravelZork. He will be sorely missed.

Looking back at AC history, we discuss an Atlantic City resident who broke new ground in 1859, and a collision between a cruise ship and an oil tanker that occurred in 1959.
