Destination Guides And Trip Planning / Re: Atlantic City Master Thread

The Airshow is estimated to bring in an estimated 400k people. Anyone know how much longer it will take to get to Atlantic City from Lakewood? How about in Atlantic City, is there crazy traffic? Any speedy responses appreciated, as I’m thinking about going today.

Does this count? There was traffic

Phone number corrected.

Did he get the odor removed? What smell and how bad?

The benefit is really just a statement credit to offset the charge, so it doesn't matter who uses it.

Why did you book it?

That’s a good question, but what would you suggest he do now?

What are we gaining by doing it together - if there is minyan nearby anyway.....

Meals (presumably no eruv), more Shabbosdig atmosphere, company, swimming, babysitters, less individual hassle, more cost effective.. a way to experience a place we ordinarily couldn’t.

Also, we could make our own minyan and go absolutely anywhere.

Don't get the idea....

What’s difficult?

A Shabbos getaway to a hotel for just the cost of the room (points) and food.

I’m looking to put together a Shabbos in a nice points hotel in a nice place within a 3 hour drive of Lakewood/NY for this or next Shabbos. Price of Shabbos is just the room/rooms you book, and we chip in for bought meals. Just basic Shabbos meals, no major standards, from a store with an accepted Hechsher. Everyone welcome!

Hopefully if we have enough people join we can ask the hotel for separate swimming hours and free use of a conference room for minyan/meals, or we’ll chip in for that as well. Another idea is to chip in for babysitters etc.

Please reply here if you’d like to join. Options are to either be within walking distance to an existing minyan (check out this for some ideas) or to create our own minyan from scratch if we get enough response.

Has this been tried here before? Don’t remember ever seeing an attempt.

Please chime in with ideas for a location. If you’ve had a family getaway or Shabbos Sheva Brachos in a nice hotel that can work please share.

Thanks!
