Jim,
I'll get back to you on the TA issue this week-end.
As far as Atlantic City goes,Ive never been there but the only place in the whole city that I could name would be Trump's which of course is where RAIN will be.I suspect a lot of people go there just to say "been there,done that"Also,a lot of teachers I work with go to Las Vegas not to gamble necessarily but because the casino owners make it a very cheap trip,figuring once we get them here we'll seperate them from their money.I don't know if Atlantic City does likewise or not.(It's certainly not as warm and sunny in winter but then its not 100 degrees plus in summer either).Also,besides children I think RAIN has a great appeal to women,particularly young ones.And men will go to great lengths to impress women,particularly young ones.Furthur,as RAIN's presence sweeps the nation and everybody is wearing or trying to buy their original Rainforest Cafe T-shirts,then everybody at A.C. gets the added bonus of being able to do two "been there,done that"things at one time.Finally,the management of RAIN seems to have a pretty shrewd game plan.I'd be surprised if they didn't investigate those very same questions.Oh yeah,if you check the specs I believe you'll find the A.C. RAIN to have way more floor space than the other 500+ seat restaurants.I wonder what that space will be used for.
