Please give me a list of 20 GOOD web sites that provide useful
information on showboat in Atlantic City.

For each URL you give, please tell me why it's good - what do they do,
why I should trust them or spend my time reading their opinions.
Please always give the full long URL address for pages with
information that I should know about, do not just send me to the site
to figure out stuff myself.

Many thanks in advance.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 30 Sep 2003 19:42 PDT

Hello hemv2003-ga,

This casino has a website that provides comprehensive information
about all aspects of the services offered. What additional information
are you looking for in the "list of 20 GOOD web sites"? Are you
interested in sites that offer "hotel deals" and reservations?  What
would be "useful" to you?

I look forward to your clarification.

Clarification of Question by hemv2003-ga on 14 Oct 2003 16:52 PDT

Sorry for the delay in posting question clarification.  I actually
don't know much about the subject at all and am trying to get a quick
education on this. Useful things to me would cover all aspects, what
kind of service/event this is, who is involved, the history of it.
Sites that offer "hotel deals" and reservations are tricky, as there
are so many of them around, it's hard to figure out who is good, I am
only interested in getting a few highly relevant, well reputated ones.
I hope this clarification helps. Thanks for your help.

I hope that answers your question. I  searched the web in the
following strategies:

Showboat “Atlantic City" [+ a word that will give us more information:
restaurants, history, 1987 (– year of opening), etc.].

Advanced Search on Google only for sites that have been updated in the
last 3 months, and that have the name Showboat in their title:
://www.google.com/search?q=allintitle:+showboat++%22atlantic+city%22+-reservations&num=50&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&as_qdr=m3&start=100&sa=N

Please contact me if you need any clarification on this answer before
you tip/rate it.
