I’ve never been to AC, but people who had been told me it was a cardinal rule to never venture anywhere away from the casinos. The rest of the city was unsafe.

There used to be regular bus trips to AC from my neck of the woods, but there aren’t so many now. Part of the reason is the availability of gaming close by, but I’m sure another reason is the deterioration of AC. Who wants to shell out so much money to travel to a city where you can’t leave your hotel?

Atlantic City? Sorry guys... but Las Vegas is not going to play second fiddle to anybody in the gaming industry. You could spend the entire New Jersey state budget on fixing up Atlantic City and the Vegas tourist honchos would just pull the other financial hand they have tied behind their back and whomp you silly with it.

Even if you did spend every last dollar that could be found in New Jersey on Atlantic City, at the end of it all, and for all that expenditure and effort, you'd still be stuck with a dreary, fetid dump of a town, one whose heyday was more than 100 years ago.
