Atlantic City has become synonymous with its sparkling strand of
hotel casinos, 12 in all - Bally's Park Place, Caesars, The Claridge,
The Atlantic City Hilton, Harrah's, Resorts, The Sands, Showboat,
Tropicana, and three bearing the Trump name, The Plaza, The Marina
and The Taj Mahal. Millions of annual visitors flock to the city, on
southeast New Jersey's Absecon Island, to woo Lady Luck in the
casinos, where cards shuffle and chips snap 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year. But the casinos have more to offer than the chance to make a
quick million, and the city has more to offer than just the casinos.
Situated on a vast stretch of white, sandy beaches, Atlantic City
has been a tourist destination since the mid-19th century, when it
became a favorite of Philadelphia residents seeking a summer refuge.
As beach resorts go, Atlantic City boasts an impressive list of
firsts: the world's first boardwalk, first color postcards, first
saltwater taffy, and the first Miss American pageant, which
continues to be held here every October.
Redevelopers halted the city's slow decline in the 1970s, when the
resort was opened to gambling. The old seaside hotels gave way to
glitzy casinos on prime Boardwalk property.
|
Now, more than 34
million people visit annually to experience the casinos' headline
entertainment, fine dining and shopping. A state-of-the-art
Convention Center replaced its antiquated predecessor, promising
scores of conferences and trade shows to further boost tourism.
The city is working to create a more culturally rich environment as
well. A new Ocean Life Center explores the fragile connection
between sea and shore, with live fish and marine exhibits. The
Atlantic City Historical Museum documents the city's rich history.
Atlantic City is also home to two sports teams - the Atlantic City
Seagulls, a United States Basketball League franchise, and Atlantic
City Surf, a semi-pro baseball team.
And the fun doesn't stop when you cross the bridge to leave. Drive
through southern New Jersey's Pine Barrens to 18th-century
Smithville or down the coast to the posh beach towns of Stone Harbor
or Sea Isle City. And at the southern tip of the state, about an
hour from the bustle of the casinos, visitors can enjoy the charming
Victorian mansions that abound in Cape May.

Wheaton Village
Glassblowing is a time-honored South Jersey craft, and Wheaton Village
is dedicated to the art. The museum showcases some of the finest glass
art of the region, and includes educational displays about the
glassblowing process.
Noyes Museum of
Art
Dedicated to art collection, the Noyes Museum features the work of
regional artists as well as 19th- and 20th-century folk and fine art.
Towne of Historic
Smithville
Take a 10-mile ride from the glitz and glitter of the casinos and you
can immerse yourself in an 18th-century village. The Smithville Inn was
once a stagecoach stop; today, the painstakingly restored property
serves as a fine restaurant. Other restored cottages and colonial homes
are now used as gift shops and smaller eateries.
Atlantic City
Historical Museum
Adjacent to the Boardwalk, the museum features a permanent exhibit
titled: “Atlantic City: Playground of the Nation,” which includes
costumes, posters, souvenirs and Miss American memorabilia. Other
exhibits showcase the city’s piers, nightlife and ethnic contributions.
Ripley’s
Believe It or Not! Museum
This odd museum exhibits oddities from Robert Ripley’s world travels.
Visitors can also view films and experience an interactive funhouse.
Atlantic City
Convention Center
The new, $268 million ultra-modern convention center dubs itself
“America’s Northeast Business Address.” With 500,000 square feet of
exhibit space and an additional 109,100 square feet of meeting space,
the facility is larger than any other convention center from Boston to
Atlanta.

Absecon
Lighthouse
Opened in 1857 and last used in 1933, historic Absecon Lighthouse once
helped guide mariners into the island’s treacherous inlet. The
double-walled masonry structure is the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey.
Though no longer used, it is a romantic symbol of days past.
Lucy the
Elephant
There is nowhere else in the world you can step inside a 6-story, 90-ton
metal elephant, which was built in 1881 for $38,000 as a real estate
marketing stunt. When she was new, Lucy attracted throngs of visitors
who wanted to tour her insides and step out on the “howdah” – her
observation deck – to view the ocean. In the 1970s, Margate residents
raised money to repair Lucy, who had fallen into disrepair and had been
closed to visitors since the early 1960s.
Ocean Life
Center
This marine science attraction explores the connection between the sea
and the land, especially well-suited to its venue, as Atlantic City is
located on a fragile barrier island. The center’s goal is to increase
awareness and appreciation of the ocean world. An atrium contains 29,800
gallons of live exhibits, and the center also features interactive
displays and indoor/outdoor observation decks.
The Boardwalk
It’s the most valuable property on the Monopoly board, which was modeled
after Atlantic City, and it’s the hottest spot in town. Built in 1870,
it’s the world’s first boardwalk. Victorian ladies and gentlemen once
strolled its venerable planks – “walking the boards” – to take in the
ocean breezes. Now, the 4.5-mile Boardwalk is lined with casinos,
hotels, restaurants, shops and amusements, all overlooking the crashing
waves of the Atlantic.
