Who has driven to and parked at Atlantic City casinos?
Whats up guys.. I'm going to Atlantic City tomorrow to watch Jerry Seinfeld at the Borgata. Anyone ever parked at their parking lot? What do you guys think about it? This is going to be my longest trip yet since owning my E92 (240 miles round trip). I just want to know what to expect over there. I'm kind of worried about all these dunk gamblers.

If you're staying at Borgota & don't mind throwing away some more money, valet your car or (if you're super concerned) pay top dollar + have the valets keep your car up front under their watch

Well like I said, spend top-dollar & park it yourself in the front somewhere it's not in the way. If you park in a lot, you're gonna want to park somewhere very far away from people + other cars. Basically, no where near 1st few floors (pretty sure it's a multi-level car park), the stairs or elevator.

Agreed...I ask them to leave it "out front" everytime...Its not a big deal. If youre really paranoid about it. Park all the way on the top floor so you can see the car from your room. Me personally, I would be more worried about the seagulls than the Valets

Parked every car I have there, self park... There was a gallardo in the self park lot... It's one of the better casinos to park at since there are usually spaces towards the rear.

Been to AC plenty of times and me and my friends always self park in the lot. You'll see plenty of nice cars parked in the multi-level lot as well. I'm not much of a valet type of person and like someone said above, try to avoid the popular level floors in the lot where everyone tends to park to get in the casino quicker.

worst advice ever....
you dont know what valet people do. you may get lucky, and not have them drive it at all, but the likely hood of them taking it on a joyride in the garages is HIGH. ripping it to and from where ever you drop your car off. ive seen some stupid valet drivers taking porsches, bmws and audis for joyrides. going at unnecessary speeds into a parking space. if valeted, check milage. and put on stock mapping if tuned. |

I have had friends who worked for the casino valet, they blatantly abuse/joyride your car... Not every person or casino is like this, but why take the chance. |

i go to AC more often than i care to admit and i always valet. I worked in that field in college and if you give them a 10 or 20 they will consider you a good guy and not rape your car. or in the very least they will use a little lube.
