While our plans were spoiled by the rain we were not going to let that ruin our day. We would do a little bit exploring of the town before heading over to the Golden Nugget. We would run into quite massive crowds of people unlike our first night there in Atlantic City.
One of the first things we did was some sightseeing in the rain. We did not get out of the car. However, how could you pass up the opportunity to see Lucy The Elephant? Now apparently you can go inside this fake elephant and go to a gift shop.
Let’s just say it was more than enough of a rainy day and everything was already wet. The view from the car was more than enough before we went off elsewhere.
For quite a few days I’ve been told that the water in this city makes amazing pizza. We had yet to stop anywhere for pizza. A couple of places along the boardwalk I noped out of since during dinner time they did not have a single soul at them eating.
We ended up finding a random place that had a couple of people in it during lunchtime. That I figured was more than enough of a sign that they had to at least be decent.
While the pizza was an absolute grease trap. The sauce in it was amazing. I knew it was good when they served it on one of the dishes that have a little bit of height to it and not just in a pizza box. I have no idea what the random name of this place was.
After that, we explored the city a bit before heading off to Golden Nugget. It’s a little while before check-in. So it was not like we were in any hurry to get there.
The Golden Nugget ended up being quite busy. I guess all it takes is some bands down at a deck area to bring all the people in. There also seemed to be some kind of other event or something going on. Perhaps it was a wedding as it seemed quite a few people knew and were related to other people.
We never did go check out any of the bands that were playing during our trip. We ended up having all bad nights of sleeping this time around at this casino. There were some crazy people on the floor we ended up getting put on.
The room was not as fancy as the first one we got. After all this place was busy. It also turned out the doors here anytime someone closed their door would cause all the other doors on the floor to vibrate. It was also paper thin so you could hear everything. Not like we were not going to hear the crazy people screaming all night long.
This is also when we found out the Golden Nugget has a secret area to bring your stuff in. We took the elevator down to not what we at first thought was the wrong floor as we were not expecting to be taken to where it was. It opened and at first, I thought we were in staff-only areas. There were however clear arrows pointing for guests to get to the garage.
This special little area not only took you down a floor but we could not need to bring bags up and down escalators like we did the first night. It was just a couple of steps away from the garage. It even had a separate little door you could push a button to open.
We go get our stuff and brought it up. At this point, I wanted some ice for my drink. So I went to the ice machine. On my way back to the room I noticed some people were trying to almost break into our hotel room.
At the same time, I know we have someone already in the room. They thought I was having issues with the key since I was expected to be back soon from getting ice. Thankfully they did not open the door.
This couple that I’m going to describe as New Jersey Trash had the wrong room number. If you put these two into a lineup and said point out New Jersey there would be no mistake it had been those two.
They were also talking quite loud about how everyone around them on this floor (except clearly us) was either someone related to them or I guess some friend. This was fantastic news to learn about for what would transpire on this floor of no sleep during our stay here.
Despite the key not working they were working on the door trying to get in. A lot longer than you would think when your key is not working. By the time I said “HEY THAT’S NOT YOUR ROOM” they had already started to walk away. They got to their room and the lady said “IF THAT GUY TOUCHES ME I’LL HAVE HIS BALLS CUT OFF.”
Well heck, I guess I’m dealing with some kind of New Jersey mafia kind of person. Rather funny like 10 minutes later we were going out to check if the pool was open. Her husband was coming back from getting stuff she forgot in the car. All I got to say is a dam. I don’t expect them to be together much longer unless she’s the one with the money with what he was randomly saying out loud to himself while walking down the hallway.
It all gets better than that though. That night or perhaps the next I don’t quite recall. It must be 2 AM. We hear someone open a door right close to our room. Not a dam person on this floor cared about trying to be respectful in closing the door.
The door closes and then a lady screams “WHO THE FUCK IS THIS.” Some dude got caught with what someone in his bed. There was some kind of fight between the two females from the best I could tell of the sounds.
Then there was a demand for money and I guess the person left. I was expecting there to be screaming matches for hours. Turns out not the first time this has happened. That couple went quiet and we did not hear anything else from them for the rest of the trip.
It’s the next night. It had to be past midnight. I start hearing quite a few different people who must have been a door or two at best over get into a screaming match. I really can’t tell what that dude was getting screamed at for. Like an entire family was calling this guy stupid.
They would be screaming at this guy just to scream for twenty minutes. Anytime however you felt it went on long enough to call the front desk and complain. They all shut up for a short while. It would then start up again for around the same amount of time.
It even sounded like people from other hotel rooms on this floor were going to their room just to scream at the dude for a while. I wish someone had said what he did. No one did. It was just a lot of “you stupid” over and over again.
Any time we went up to this floor to go to our room. There were people always screaming at each other. I kid you not. Some guy was getting yelled at for losing $100 down in the casino. That was just one of perhaps another dozen strange yelling matches on this floor. Most of them were over quite small sums of money for being at a casino in Atlantic City.
I got like no sleep at this casino. The only great thing was. The lady who threatened to have my balls cut off made it known that she was related to everyone around us on this floor. One can only guess that was her family. They all had rather thick New Jersey as well.
Final Thoughts
There were moments when I was so sleep-deprived I just wanted to sit there and start laughing in the hotel room. I can’t believe anyone who knows their family can’t get along like those people would attempt to spend a couple of nights in a hotel.
Let’s hope I don’t wake up with a horse’s head in my bed for telling these stories. The last time I checked I still had my balls. I can’t say the same for all the men that were getting screamed at during our stay.
