Atlantic City Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

Glitzy gambling palaces and lavish hotels rule the roost at first glance, but underneath it all Atlantic City still retains some of its old-time allure. Perched on New Jersey's coast within easy reach of one-third of the U.S. population, Atlantic City has been entertaining vacationers for 150 years, including countless families who come for the saltwater taffy, arcades, piers, fun rides, and, of course, the beach.
