John; While it's true that you won't find a table under $5 in A.C. today, since you've last been there in 1983 you will find that much has changed in "Las Vegas East". Showboat, Trump Plaza, Trump Marina (formerly Trump Castle), and Trump Taj Mahal have since opened and many $5 table games can be found at quite a few properties ... even on Saturday nights .... although perhaps not during the summer or on some major holiday weekends.

Come back John. I'll guarantee that you will be amazed with all the improvements made over the past 17 years in A.C..... But then I guess if I lived in Tennessee, I would opt for Las Vegas too. <g>
