How long ago?
Back in the mid '80's I attended a conference in AC. A whole bunch of us students crashed on the floor in a room at the Claridge, getting up whenever someone staggered in from having one too many. The stuff about oxygen tanks and rewards cards on the gaming floor brought back all the unpleasant memories.
The place being a rat-infested shithole was true for at least the previous 40 years - way before casino gambling was legalized.
Other than that, have a great time!
