Was a joke. That's the motel 6 slogan. Meaning, why stay at a sub-par hotel/doesn't really matter if Bally's will give you free rental of a chair and umbrella. Plenty of nicer hotels on the boardwalk.. especially if you're Caesars Diamond - just stay at Caesars.

Ha, got it. Very deep :-)

I'm not staying at Bally's as I totally agree with you. In fact, I'm staying at Borgata and not at any Caesars property. I went to Caesars for free parking and a beach setup all complimentary.

They offered the free chairs and umbrella just for having diamond status. And Bally's does have a very solid beach setup: Bar with good specials and clean beach.

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.

Hi,
 The wife and I are looking to go to the AC for a few nights. Can someone help us choose which hotel to stay at? We are more interested in getting nice rooms and access to a nice spa than the casino. I've been told to go to the Borgata or Resorts but the opinions are a bit dated.

Ocean is also nice and can be booked with Hyatt points IIRC.
