I hit up Atlantic City this weekend with a lady friend, and I have to admit, Atlantic City has gotten a LOT nicer.
I've been to AC over 100 times, never really liked it, but it's starting to change in the right direction. The casino's are getting killed by all the competition in PA and NY, but they are starting to make it "Vegas like"
I took the greyhound $37 roundtrip bus from Port Authority (gives you $25 pack in play), and I got a free room at the Sheraton with my credit card points.
They opened two outside beach bars this year. The Bally's bikini beach bar http://www.cityatlantic.com/nightlife/bi...h-bar.html and the landshark bar and grill http://myrtlebeach.landsharkbarandgrill.com/.
The landshark was a little wack, its mostly covered up so you don't get any sun, and the beer specials werent that good. The ballys bikini bar looked a look better.
Bally's also moved a ton of slots out of the way, and when you come in from the beach they actually have beer pong tables and a mechanical bull. When I walked in I was like "what the fuck?"...This place is actually getting cool?
So overall, I'm still not in love with AC, but they are getting better. The boardwalk cleaned up a lot, and I actually felt safe for once. I hit my favorite bar "the irish pub" http://www.theirishpub.com/, and White house sandwich shop which is insane http://whitehousesubshop.net/.
I still hate the Borgata, but I had tickets to see Russell Peters and ran the hell out when the show was over.
