Gold-diggers seeking ElDorado Motor inn to Atlantic City
Really. The casinos of Vegas and AC are the modern equivalent of goldmines. It's where all the money, and the boom towns and the glamor and hot chicks are, and piss-poor gold-diggers come in from all over the map, and blow their life-savings, desperate to strike gold.
And of course, there's the Japanese tourist groups, who come in by the bus load from New York for weekend trips, wanting to soak in the whole 'experience' of Atlantic City vacations.
And the ElDorado Motor Inn is right there, waiting to house these sad-sacks, right next to the goldmines. The ElDorado sits adjacent to the Tropicana Casino, just a block away from the beach and the Atlantic City Boardwalk, and a short stroll down to the pier. Truth is, the motel isn't half-bad. It's pretty decent, actually, if you compare it to some of the other Atlantic City motels that peek out in between the big casinos.
The air-conditioned guestrooms with balconies and direct exterior access are equipped with refrigerators, cable TV and HBO, complimentary internet and free local calls, and private bathrooms with complimentary toileteries and a shower/tub combo. Iron & board and rollaway beds are available on request.
The ElDorado offers free parking, a 24-hour front desk and a microwave in the lobby. Standard rates from $51.99 onwards, for which you get all of the above plus 1 King bed in a room with a view of the casino and a partial view of the Atlantic ocean.
It's not that bad a deal, and if you get wiped out in the casinos, and want to go back to your little Jersey towns with the nice picture-postcard New Jersey beaches, then at least you won't regret blowing a big wad on an expensive hotel room.
