This weekend I went to Atlantic City for the first time. While I had a lot of fun playing blackjack -- and came out ahead! -- I was pretty disappointed. I suppose those who have been there will know what I mean. Atlantic City is basically a shantytown with a few giant Trump hotels and outlet stores sandwiched in between. It is not the worst place I have ever seen, and it is certainly much closer for Easterners than Vegas, so it is convenient. But if you are going, don't expect to get "out on the town" much. You'll find yourself walking along the boardwalk maybe once, and spending the rest of the time inside your hotel/casino.
