We decided to take a side trip to Atlantic City for a change of scenery and it works out pretty well leaving from Flushing. There are several buses that take day trips there and leave at scheduled times. We took the
Resorts Casino bus this morning at 9am. The cost of the bus ride is $12 + a $2 tip on the way back for the driver. So that's $14 total. Upon arrival in AC, you get a $25 coupon that can be used for anything you want. You can gamble it away, blow it on one of the buffets, pocket it, etc. So at the start of the trip, you're already up by $11. The morning buses will arrive on or a bit after noontime, making lunch the next order of business. The options usually are:
- buffet for $22
- other casino restaurant for $17
- McDonald's for $6
- street vendor for $7
So if you went the ultra-thrifty route, it is possible to grab a cheap lunch and still have a few bucks for the slot machines! Since I was hosting out-of-towners on vacation, we went for the buffet (coming up in a separate post).
