I am going to visit New York City on January 30 for 3 weeks for sight seeing with some friends. The other f friends are couple so they will certainly need some time alone which means that I might have plenty of alone time as well. I want to use time to work on my gaming skills . I want to visit bars, lounges and clubs to try out my luck.

Now to my question. The hotel we are going to stay has hotel bar. It would be quite convient to game without even leaving the hotel. But would you say hotel bars are good place to game or would I be better of in another bar/lounge or whatever somehwere in the city?

Please feel free and share your impressions about hotel bars as a game location?
