From Atlantic City, New Jersey’s origins as a quiet seaside health resort to becoming one of America’s earliest tourist destinations, this city continues to be a vibrant place for entertainment and culture.
Renowned as “America’s Playground,” it is no surprise that some of its most iconic attractions include the boardwalk and casinos. Stroll down the longest boardwalk in the United States where breathtaking views of sea and sand will greet your eyes. Here, you’ll also find old-fashioned amusement parks like Steel Pier which has been providing family fun since 1898. And if gaming is your thing, there are plenty of options available from classic casino games at resorts such as Bally’s or Borgata to slots with more than 3,000 machines scattered throughout the city.
The stories behind this amazing destination continue beyond just its nightlife and gambling scene. Popular landmarks like Absecon Lighthouse attract thousands each year who want to learn about its rich maritime heritage; while historical museums offer visitors insights into how far back Atlantic City goes – all the way back in 1854 when it was incorporated.
