Atlantic City is an excellent location to spend a few days or a few weeks, there is so much to do (aside from gambling). It is the oldest seaside resort in the United States. Located on Abescon Island, in New Jersey, Atlantic City has changed drastically since the 1900’s. In present day, it is a world class gambling and resort location with all the big casinos including Caesars, Bally's, and Trump Taj Mahal Casino. There are also a number of spectacular beaches, and the world's first very first boardwalk, which was built in 1870. Strolling along the boardwalk is an experience all in itself – lined with amusement piers, museums, shops and restaurants; not to mention the famous rolling chairs.
You can experience Atlantic City on any budget! There are many, many reasonably priced hotels and restaurants and many are located in the city center. Everyone should make a trip to Atlantic City, at least once! It is a paradox of glitz, glamour and nostalgic history all rolled into one. If you love to gamble, this is the place you need to be. If you are brining your family along, unlike Las Vegas, there is so much here for children to do that they will never get bored!
