It will likely turn out to be a Band Aid on a tumor, but the hot weekend weather apparently kept things cooking inside Atlantic City's casinos.

Reports from AyCee suggest the summer-like weather brought the multitudes to town (a Saturday afternoon phone call from a Boardwalking source contained a warning the town was "packed"). That, naturally translated into some decent numbers for the gaming halls.

Among the properties doing land office business was Resorts Atlantic City. According to Resorts spokesman Brian Cahill, such "indicators" as parking and entertainment (attendance for country star Clint Black and the Boogie Nights disco), pointed to a solid Saturday, as did the slot "handle" (the amount of money wagered on the machines) which, reported Cahill, was "among the best days of the year."
