atlantic city & the gamerooms
i was in atlantic city this past weekend. did some gambling. took a few photos (slowly being displayed on the front page of this site). ate pizza at 6:30am one morning. enjoyed a steak sandwich at the white house sub shop.
but i didn't know atlantic city could inspire such serious internet pontificating until i read "the worst game room ever". it's a long article with lots of pictures about a guy who stayed at the quality inn. he visited the hotel's game room, and i've got to say, it looks pretty bad. his entire tale is fun to read and something worth doing this afternoon.
here's a snippet of what the author had to say about the ice cream machine in the game room:
It's filled with crap, and I know what you're thinking. It's just gooey melted ice cream. Gross, but not too gross. You don't want to touch it, but even if you were unable to keep the ice cream wrapper from touching it, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker.
No, no no no. Even if you want to believe it's ice cream -- and it's not -- please scroll back up and check out the photo of the dreaded machine. See that poster thing depicting all the assorted cones and sundaes a person could conceivably get if the machine suddenly morphed into a better model that actually sold cones and sundaes? Posters like that haven't been produced in at least, what, fifty years?
