      • DFAW #219: A Resolution for Each Casino

        On episode 219 of the Atlantic City podcast, Kyle and Craig play Always/Once/Never with AC sub shops, talk about Hard Rock’s new loyalty program, and get into the most heated topic at the moment: Caesars Entertainment drastically reducing hours and food options at the Laurel Lounges at Caesars, Harrah’s, and Tropicana.

        Then, Kyle busts out the calculator on Crapless Craps (see his blog post breaking down the math on pass line bets), and listener Lou D. asks for a New Year’s Resolution for each Atlantic City casino. He asked this question in December; blame us for talking about New Year’s Resolutions deep into January.
