Atlantic City .. still a dump?

:rofl:

lmao...my girl booked us a room there for our anniversary....I guess we didn't do our research...lmao!!

kill me please
 
lol I stayed in showboat the last month of its existence for a bachelor party all I can say is I'm glad that dump closed down AC is falling as the years go by:smh:
 
Barely better than Reno. So depressing to be in AC; I only went cause I heard it was like Vegas and didn't bother researching :lol:

Yes it is. AC was surviving off its aging gambling clientele. While Vegas shifted and began appealing to younger crowds, AC was content to just keep grandma and grandpa entertained. Well, they're dying, and there's nobody to replace them. Also, with relaxed gambling laws and such, there are other options in the Tri-State area. People who would have gone all the way to AC don't have to go as far anymore.

Also, AC built up the casinos but completely ignored the rest of the city. It's a total dump. Not even the beach or alcohol can make it a tolerable (or safe) experience.
 
Are their any other alternatives nearby to it that are better? I'm gonna be in Philly again later this summer
 
Meh, I kinda like it for what it's worth. Plan going there soon.

i heard the strip clubs are the business. Havent been since i was like 10 or 11 to AC. Seems like a old people who want to gamble type getaway. 
 
Yeah there's a lot of old people all over casinos in the northeast. Kinda weird.

There's some talk of building casinos in north NJ, which for me would be perfect and probably better for business.

I've been out of NJ for 2 years but casinos in North NJ is a HORRIBLE idea. Traffic is bad as it is now, it's gonna much much worse if that happens.
 
Yeah the traffic would be crazy lol. The Meadowlands area, if they're gonna put one there would be packed with traffic

Yea...Christie talked about building casinos in N. NJ. Even with the failures in AC, Revel immediately coming to mind, he thinks that the revenue generated there would help desolate cities like AC. With casinos closing up left and right, there are no jobs...this obviously has a direct effect on the economy, schools, and general infrastructure. When I was in my room at the Borgata, it overlooked most of AC. I'd look out of my window during supposed rush hour times during the work week, and there would hardly be any cars. It was sad to see.

What's killing the gambling in Jersey are the casinos in CT as well as in MD. There is literally no point for anyone from the DMV to go up to AC anymore with table games now legal at MD Live. Also, MGM is coming over the National Harbor (3 min outside of DC) within the next 2-3 years.

Currently, it's a wrap for the tourism/revenue for AC.

Put it this way...if you had to choose between a vacation in AC or Afghanistan, you'd have to think about it for a minute.
