USA Bus Lines

Where can I find a charter bus company that signs people up for a bus overnight stay package to Atlantic City?

From LI, NY to AC. If you know of any please leave info. Thanks!

1. I live upstate, so I don't know of any specific companies out of Long Island -- but there MUST be advertisements in your local newspaper for local travel companies. However, what I think might be a better tip is this -- if you go greyhound, the casino will give you cash back when you arrive. The round trip is $35 from New York City, and each casino offers a bonus. Most of them give you $20 Cash back as soon as you get off the bus (no strigns attached). I just went a couple of weeks ago -- I think Resorts International only gives you a $20 slot card that you can only cash out the winnings. Some of the casinos give you cash plus a food coupon. The Atlantic City terminals at Port Authority have a listing of what the bonuses are at the various casinos. When you buy the round trip ticket from NY you can return to the city any time within the next 4 days -- so if you win you can stay longer, and if you bust out in 4 hours you can go home. Buses leave in either direction pretty much every hour -- during peak times both on the hour and half hour and in the middle of the night maybe every hour and a half. Again, you can look at the schedules at Port Authority or online. Obviously since you live out on the Island you have to get to NYC and back, but I'm sure you can take a bus for that as well. As far as staying overnight, you can then just book your room online yourself. A lot of times you get a better deal that way. If you are planning to play poker, the Trump Taj and the Tropicana both have good poker rates if you plan to play for at least 4 or 5 hours a day. I went in January last year and paid $55 a night I think. Again, if you prefer a package, look in the newspaper -- there must be a lot of them from LI. I know that I can get a round trip day trip ticket from Albany on Yankee travels for $9 one day each month. There have to be good options from LI. Good luck to you.
