The staff are friendly, the buffet is rich, the sound of slots rings throughout. Gamblers, be warned: Harrah's is out to take your money somehow. But the workers are so nice, you won't mind. Located in the Marina District, their location is out of the way, and not near the Atlantic Ocean. But they are near the Borgata. As I said early, the FantaSea buffet has lots of fish, it is delicious and it has more fish tanks than many pet shops. My waiter was so polite. And no one cared that I snuck a peek at "Port Platinum" (for high rollers) even though I was not one of them. (Wow! That buffet dining room was really nice. But I guess high rollers don't eat at the buffet, the room was empty.) Throughout the casino there are fish motifs. The lobby is striking, with marble and fish tanks behind the check in desk. The casino is busy, and it is one of Atlantic City's better properties. The neighborhood is decent, but this is a self-contained resort. It's just a bridge away from Brigantine, and you can't walk to any other casino from here. I love their Total Rewards program- it got me free parking since I was a Gold member.

The bargains are great here. The prices are low, the styles are nice. But the merchandise is not Banana Republic quality. Nor is the store nicely decorated like their non-outlet branches. The sale items were tossed like garbage in heaps. The staff didn't care. They had lots of summer merchandise since it was around Christmas. They had lots of neutral colors, but everything was very revealing. For men the clothes were cut really skinny. The waists were tiny, the sleeves and sweaters were Lilliputian. Tourists from out of town went crazy. The lines were insane. But I didn't find anything worth buying. The items were not high quality, and definitely not workwear. This was not a good place to start my visit to the Walk at Atlantic City. For an outlet store, it was boring! It reminded me of an Old Navy since it was designed like a warehouse. If you go, they're near the Calvin Klein Outlet at a street corner. (Michigan and Atlantic, I believe. The nearest casinos are Claridge, Trump Plaza, and Caesars.)

The clerks here had nothing to do. Neither did I. So I stopped in on a whim to look at Movado watches. Ever so stylish, set amidst a white sterile environment, their black watch faces looked wonderful! But they are so impractical. They only have one number on most of their faces. How can you tell the time like that? These watches are jewelry, not timepieces. They're status symbols. The jewelry here is good too. Everything is high fashion, high price. No it's not an outlet. I like this shop, but I'm not prepared to pay the prices they're charging. The store is well lit and though it was dinnertime, I felt like it was afternoon since I couldn't tell the sun had set. The staff were helpful and eager to please. They knew their stuff and weren't pushy.
I was the only customer here, so I guess not many people like Movado. If you go they're on the second floor of the Pier at Caesars near the Tommy Bahama store.

I always associated Levi's with low-end products and jeans at that. I buy the Levi Strauss Signature line from Target. Then over the holiday break I went to Atlantic City. I discovered this boutique (the first I've ever seen) that stocks Levi's denim: jeans, coats, cotton t-shirts. The environment reminded me of Abercrombie & Fitch or Banana Republic. It was casual and California-like. The clerks were bubbly and ready to help. Two different salespeople offered to help me find my size- without me asking for help! The store was dark, but it felt upscale. I saw all sorts of Levi's I had never seen elsewhere, at prices I had never envisioned paying for Levi's, that is. They had all sorts of wrinkles and fades, colors and cuts. This is a shoppaholic's paradise for jeans! It is more of a teenagers' store though. The sale items were affordable, but the full-priced stuff was out of my league. It was more than I'd pay for jeans. ($90 around) Maybe if I had hit the jackpot on those nickel slots... If you go they're in the Pier at Caesars.

What a waste of time! The waitress was slow, the food was average. They refused to honor their 15 minute lunch guarantee even though they made me wait an hour for a two burgers and two pasta entrees. The waitress was okay, not too friendly, but she was serving the whole restaurant. Oh yeah, I had to wait for a hostess for 15 minutes. She was restocking the salad bar and cleaning up tables when I arrived. The food is American, but the setting is dreary. It is faded and worn out. It is an English Country Inn style restaurant with bar- but it serves burgers and pasta. At least the food here is cheap. I see why they even offered a $10 off $30 coupon in the newspaper, which was why I even tried them out. The 6 item $6 menu ($6 each) is a good deal since the food and setting are nicer than McDonald's. I splurged on a $5 slice of cheesecake, which was decent. But the $1.50 coffee left much to be desired. (Can you believe it took a while just to get coffee?) You could bring business guests here I guess. The location is a bit hard to find. On Frontage Road, they are near the Mark 70 apartments and the Clarion Hotel off Route 70 West next to I-295.

I think the furnishings available at Pottery Barn Kids are stunning. Really I do. But at the prices? I'll pass- unless I hit the Powerball tomorrow night. They sell toys, curtains, bedspreads... all geared towards the elementary school set- from the days of "Leave It To Beaver." They sell upholstered rocking horses, plaid bedding, big metal decorations spelling out words like "dream." Kids would fall for this store in a heartbeat. I like how everything they sell is still wholesome. No Bratz here! (Well, maybe the stuff is geared towards brats.. forgive my pun.) The style is distinctly Pottery Barn. So are the prices. It's IKEA for my family!
Being that this is Princeton, their store suffers from no lack of business. The clerks were darting around trying to please- but they couldn't handle all the customers on a Friday night. Located inside Market Fair, on Route 1 near Quaker Bridge Mall and Nassau Park Pavillion, this store enjoys a good location, though.

The Finish Line reminds me of Foot Locker, except they specialize in more expensive items. Their shoes are all like $100 +. On clearance, I found that most shoes were $75 still. At least the shopping environment is nice, and so are the shoes and clothes they sell. Their clothing is affordable, but it is not branded or too stylish from what I have seen. They have plenty of staff, who are friendly. They even told me where Foot Locker was when I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy here. The store is so bright and it has business too. I say this because Echelon Mall is almost dead. It has almost no customers. It is right next to the Food Court near Pacific Sunwear. You can't miss it. Its lights differentiate it from the rest of this dark, poorly lit mall. They don't really specialize in any type of merchandise- this store would appeal to anyone. It has a neutral design. And they sell quality merchandise. Their shoes were comfy!

Since the whole store was literally 50-70% off MSRP tag price, like the polos that "were" $40 were reduced to "$12.99," I'm wondering if this store sells anything at full price. Judging by the Old Navy like material and its fairly decent quality, I'm going to say no. For the "tag" prices I'd buy from American Eagle or Abercrombie. But on sale, it's not bad. I think this store is best for elementary school kids. If I were in high school, I certainly would wear their stuff. Just not to a college interview. Like American Eagle, Aeropostale clothes have the words Aero and Aeropostale plastered all over. They are plain otherwise. Their designs are dull but then this is for one who doesn't want to stand out. I can understand that. I was surprised how busy this little shop was. The checkout line clearly overwhelmed the single employee: a teenage cashier. But I'll say: I saw a faux leather jacket that seemed to be $20- if I did the math right, that is- so I'll give them 4 stars for style and value. I like the cheery factory loft style environment.

I entered after seeing a 60% clearance sign. Jeans were about $30. Sweaters about $20. Plain clothes, they were. But they're all the rage in preppy high schools around this area. The registers were in action. The clerks were busy. Had I needed service, it would have been hard to find someone. The store has stylish outfits, most of which have eagles on the front. No wonder they're popular around Philadelphia. The floors are wood and it is so well lit. It feels very upscale, like someone's beach house. Everything from the basics to the not-so-basic is here. The material feels good but the designs are nothing wonderful. Their clothes are plain and the only decoration most of them have is an eagle. I'm not sure if the regular prices are worth paying. But on sale it's a bargain. The store is nearer to Boscov's, across from Champs Sports and close by the Food Court.

I never used to shop at Foot Locker until recently. Over an extended weekend, while at the mall, I discovered their store here in Echelon. It is tiny, but its selection is wide. The clerks were helpful as they had nothing to do- although one clerk did not really look for a shoe I wanted- she just told me it was out of stock even though her manager had told her they had it in the back. Anyway, the prices here are great, when there's a sale. I got a nice pair of shoes for $29.99, and then I used a 40% coupon to get it for $18. Furthermore, the store had plenty of choices, plenty of sizes, and plenty of brands. I liked the way things were displayed and there were more than enough chairs to go around. The location was a bit out of the way, on the second floor above the food court, but it isn't hard to find the store. It is well lit, clean, and a good value for money. Note that this store-unlike other Foot Lockers- carries few clothes- it is a true Foot Locker.
