Atlantic City is considered the 'Gambling Capital of the East Coast'. With 11 major casinos, it is second only to Vegas. It is a playground for adults with gaming, spas, world-class entertainment, exciting nightlife, fine dining, the ocean, boardwalk and of course golf. At Atlantic City Aquarium you can interact with and feed stingrays and other aquatic animals. Enjoy the ocean by sitting on the beach or going fishing or participating in water sports. Maybe you can time it right and be there for the annual surfing competitions. Or stay dry with some power shopping. For a great treat, you can go to the Monopoly Monument, Park Place and the Boardwalk, across from Bally's Atlantic City. Did you know the board game uses the names of Atlantic City's streets? Best of all is Lucy the Elephant, a 65-ton building built in 1881 in the shape of an elephant. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this is one of those curious pieces of Americana that one doesn't see too much of anymore. Atlantic City is serviced by Atlantic City International Airport (ACY)
New Jersey may be small, but it packs a big punch. Try Jersey City where immigrants made their way to their new country after Ellis Island. The views of Manhattan from there are breathtaking. Walk along the Hudson River on Hoboken's River Street. Though only one square mile, Hoboken's brownstones radiate a big city's worth of youthful energy, with hip restaurants, cool bars and funky shops. And these are only 2 of the towns waiting for you to experience their uniqueness!
