Re: Poker in D.C.?

The voters in Charlestown turned down the table games. The closest WV
casino 
with a poker room that I'm aware of is in Wheeling, WV about 300 miles
from 
DC ( AC is about 200 ). It has a large poker room. However, when I stopped

by there recently while traveling ( very late at night ), the poker room
was 
empty....no players. So I'm not sure how busy it is. Probably got a game
or 
two going on weekend evenings. Many more choices in AC. Lots of games at
Taj 
and Borgota. Several of the other casinos there will have a few games
going. 
as well. Taj is a bit worn and gritty but it will sometimes have loose 
tables full of casual players who drive to AC from PA, play most the night

and then drive home to save hotel fares. They tend to bring a set amount 
that they intend to lose before morning. Borgota tables seem a bit
tougher, 
or at least that's how it seemed to me  the last time I was in AC.
