Showboat is my home casino in AC. Some great video poker in the House of Blues area, although they recently changed some of the games on the machines.



It really helps that it's non-smoking in that area. They also have a number of double bonus double jackpot ($2,000 for the royal on quarters) VP machines at the Boat.



The Buffet is good, but has gone downhill some in the past few months. It is even closed on Wednesdays and Thursday in the winter, which stinks because those are my days off. They wil make a special dish for Diamond card holders.



Diamond Club is decent but the lines can get nasty and sometimes, especially if you are a woman, the drink service can be slow. Bourbon Tower rooms have been renovated. they are bit smaller that the Orleans Tower but are much closer to the heart of the casino and have great flat-screen TVs with some HD channels.



Good selection of slots but it can get crowded when the buses pull in. Free parking for Platinum and Diamond card holders and golds can get it by putting 25 points on your card (it's probably better to just pay the $5).
