Saturday & where to eat in AC

This morning I warmed up on the bungee with MUVE. Then I did about 30 minutes of Zumba Ripped: the rest of the Toning and some of the chair chapters. Really liked the combination of Zumba cardio and AWT.

Will be mostly walking the rest of the week in our home away from home.
Now that Ballys has ended its play for a free buffet promotion, we have to figure out how to spend my CET Total Rewards comp in AC because I am only Platinum for the first time this year after many consecutive Diamond years. My husband doesn't have nearly as much comp even though Diamond, previously draining his comp to get special comp from Ballys Racetrack betting and now needs his for the Diamond lounges when The Borgata's dinner lines are too long. Have lots of Borgata comp and will be earning plenty more. lronically, it's the reversal of our previous eating pattern.

I love the stuffed hot dogs at Harrahs' Reflections which is enough food for two people so will definitely be spending a large part of my comp on that particular dish for lunch the rest of the year. Absolutely disappointed in the food at their new Bill's Burger. Guess the rest will go towards Caesars veggie eggs Benedict, Showboat's cheap eggs and bacon, or Ballys omelet of the day for breakfasts. Dinners will mostly be at The Borgata cuz love their dinner buffet but may occasional hit their Amphora lounge for a change of pace. Will treat ourselves to the breakfast buffet at The Borgata before leaving for home most trips. However will pay cash for The Borgata's Bread & Butter or foodcourt (love the Japanese stand) for as long as either of us are Black Label.

When my CET comp is gone, we can pay cash at the 2:1 places like McCormicks for hamburgers or Johnny Rockets for breakfast. There is always the Whitehouse for subs and a sprinkling of restaurants not affiliated with casinos on the boardwalk or in the mall. Neither of us will be playing enough at CET to be getting any free buffet offers so that comp will probably be long gone months before my husband's Diamond status ends. Eventually, we will find a place to be our #2 casino since The Borgata is now our #1. We used to get free buffet offers and earn comp quickly at The Hilton so may try our luck there. We were totally turned off by the vibe in the Gold Nugget, formerly the Trump Marina so that option is off the table for us. Life will go on in AC for us even though our former top 4 CET casinos do not appreciate our business.
