Looks like AC is reverting back to the days when the "Broadwalk Empire" era ended.

Have never been to AC, and now that my home state of PA has casinos, why would I want to?

[GeronL]

Some of those casinos would not exist without tax subsidies, making them welfare leeches instead of productive businesses

[GeronL]

AC has no purpose or relevance any more.

I remember a story yrs ago about a woman who was being forced out of home because Trump wanted the land for a hotel/casino. Don’t remember what ever happened in the end.

Many years ago, I won a sales award, and the prize was a weekend in Atlantic City, staying at Resorts..the weekend it opened..For those who may not remember..it was the first casino in AC...The hotel was mobbed, and there were thousands lined up on the Boardwalk waiting to get in...the cops and fire dept limited the number for safety purposes. I’m siting at a blackjack table...the crush of people in the aisles was unreal..like the subway at rush hour. They allowed others to play behind gamblers...at one point I had FIVE total strangers mirroring me...left the table after an hour..it was a zoo...got up the next morning at 5..to go for a run on the beach..it was still like sardines...yet you could see even back then it wouldn’t work..because if you went one block off the boardwalk, the city was a a mess..looked like Detroit does today

It was inevitable, they made smoking in casinos illegal.

The smoke bone is connected to the drink bone and the drink bone is connected to the gambling bone.

Can’t smoke in AC? Try Foxwoods, Mohegan Sun (north) or any of the other choices south of AC.

Screw the unions who passed the no smoking policy..

I am an expatriate NJ native who always went “down the shore” for vacation growing up. We stayed at another beach community (LBI) but would occasionally go to AC in its pre-casino days, sample the roasted peanuts and salt water taffy, see the shows at the Steel Pier and Garden Pier. Back then the beach wasn't bad and you could always get decent seafood somewhere in town. It's all gone now, either turned into a museum/historical site, or bulldozed for a (failing) casino. Unless a miracle happens, I can't see it avoiding becoming Camden-on-the-Sea.
