Final month, we took a visit right down to Atlantic Metropolis to revisit considered one of our outdated favorites, The Borgata poker site (important replace to that assessment coming quickly, however spolier alert – not considered one of our favorites anymore). We occurred to be there whereas the WSOP Circuit occasion was occurring at Harrah’s Atlantic Metropolis, so we figured we might play there as properly. In truth, we ended up staying at Harrah’s (because the Borgata wouldn’t assure us a non-smoking lodge room), and performed each within the Harrah’s poker site and the conference corridor, the place the WSOP occasions had been happening.
On line casino Setting
Harrah’s Atlantic Metropolis is tucked up within the northern finish of city together with the Borgata and the Golden Nugget. All three of those properties could be strolling distance from one another had been that an precise factor in Atlantic Metropolis. As it’s, they’re a brief, albeit complicated, drive aside.
Non-Poker Facilities
Harrah’s is a full-service Atlantic Metropolis on line casino. Together with intensive gaming acreage, there’s a lodge, a set of eating places, a pool, shops, and so forth. At Harrah’s, you can find each amenity you’d anticipate from a big on line casino.
The lodge rooms are fairly good and fairly moderately priced. Our one quibble with the lodge was the truth that the “free” wifi was restricted to solely two units, with a surcharge past that. Which meant that we needed to make a Sophie’s selection amongst our 5 units (laptops, telephones, iPad) to find out which might obtain bandwidth. Really, it was worse than that. As we didn’t discover the warning at first, my cellphone took up the primary slot and Paul’s laptop computer the second. Positively not the selection we might have made had been we paying extra consideration. Oh, additionally – and associated – the Verizon protection isn’t stellar at Harrah’s.
The eating places on the property had been a mixture of breathtakingly costly (Gordon Ramsay, McCormick and Schmick’s, La Strada) and really mediocre (but nonetheless overpriced). We had a high-quality meal at AC Burger Co., however it was positively pricier than we might have preferred. Additionally, about 75% of the eating places are solely open on weekends. Odd for an Atlantic Metropolis property in the midst of the excessive summer time season.

The 28-table poker site is a big but cozy house with low ceilings, wooden abounding, and enticing carpeting. The poker site is down a corridor and separate from the primary on line casino, however not separated by glass or a door. The lighting is comparatively low, however there are spots that make visibility simpler.
The tables are coated in inexperienced felt with a purple padded rail and inset drink cups. There are each USB chargers and auto-shufflers. Most chairs have wheels, are well-padded, and are comfy. Nevertheless, just a few tables are supplemented with padded banquet chairs. Tables are 9-seated and huge sufficient for consolation. The chips, felts, playing cards, and room as a complete are clear. The poker site sported its personal loos on website and that unicorn of facilities (at the least since 2020) – a water fountain.
Poker Room Workers
The Harrah’s Atlantic Metropolis On line casino sellers are proficient, pleasant, and usually quick. The waitstaff circulates frequently. We didn’t expertise any points involving the ground, however workers on the cage had been pleasant and the ground was cheerful as he escorted me to a desk.
Gamers at Harrah’s Atlantic Metropolis On line casino Poker Room
I think about that the gamers inhabiting the packed poker site whereas WSOP occasions are enjoying out upstairs within the conference house are probably not consultant of the room. Gamers had been aggressive, but gregarious. There was virtually a celebration environment within the poker site whereas I used to be there.
Match Construction
Harrah’s Atlantic Metropolis poker site doesn’t sometimes host tournaments. When the WSOP Circuit visits the property (because it did in August) the conference house is about up for tournaments.
Money Recreation Exercise
There have been 9 energetic tables at 3pm on a Thursday: three 1/2 NLH, two 1/3 NLH, two restrict tables, a Large O desk, and a 20-40 Seven Card Stud desk.
