Atlantic City is one itsy bitsy step removed from being a smoking crater. High crime, terribly depressing surroundings, nothing to do but gamble with the "help" of casino employees who hate every minute of their miserable lives and act like it. On the plus side, what they're missing in hospitality, they more than make up for in nasty attitudes.
Las Vegas can only dream of having the population area that Atlantic City has yet Vegas while in a downturn still crushes them.
"Camden with slots" vs. Las Vegas? No comparison.
I think maybe because one is viewed as a weekend trip while the other is a vacation.
One is a collection of run down hotels huddled in the corner of one of the worst, crime-ridden, drug addled cities in on of the worst, most crime-ridden states in the country. The other is Las Vegas.
You nailed ii in one sentence. Impressive.
I’ve been to Las Vegas and they very much recommended not wandering off the strip, unless you were going straight to Freemont street.
