Atlantic City Help

Dubbed "America's favorite playground", Atlantic City offers eager vacationers year-round excitement, electricity and entertainment. Highly accessible it makes an ideal weekend (or even mid-week) getaway for over 34 million visitors annually.

Famous for its casinos, almost all of the hotels here offer some type of 'package deal' that allows you to take advantage of the glitz and glamour of this seaside locale. One of the first things that visitors to Atlantic City do (besides hitting the casino) is head to the Boardwalk. The first of its kind in the world, it was initially created to prevent guests from trekking sand into hotel lobbies. Today the Boardwalk is home to elegant Victorian buildings and serves as a bustling platform for vendors to peddle everything from books, to hot dogs and saltwater taffy. Increasing its summer appeal the beaches here are clean and relatively empty, thanks to the numbers who stay within the perimeters of the hotels and casinos.

Atlantic City is also well known as a shopping Mecca. Once known as "The Queen of Resorts", this New Jersey beach town set the standard for middle-class American vacation spots, offering everything from upscale boutiques to trendy malls. Shoppers will delight at the offerings of the Ocean One Mall, a ship-shaped building located on the Boardwalk, or any one of the many casino shops. Off the beaten path they can also browse the antique collectibles and handcrafted gems that can be found in the city's many quaint shops.

Currently undergoing a multi-billion dollar rebirth Atlantic City stands as a modern testament to survival and success. At the heart of its renaissance is the new $268 million Atlantic City Convention Center. Offering more than 500,000 square feet of exhibit space, 45 meeting rooms, state-of-the-art communication technology, 29 covered loading docks, and 1,500 indoor parking spaces, among other amenities, this functional showplace connects, via a sheltered walkway, to the 15-story, 502-room Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel.

Whether you are interested in water sports, fishing, dining out, gambling or simply sunbathing, when next you are here make sure to take advantage of the many offerings of this world-class visitor and meeting destination.
