Normally the most favourite gambling destination in the world is Las Vegas. The reason is that everyone knows the city. But just a few persons know that there are plenty of other gambling attractions. One of these is Atlantic City and there are a lot of reasons to go there instead of Las Vegas if you want to go to gamble. There is a top ten list to follow, where are the main reasons why visiting Atlantic City.

1. Not only gambling If you don’t want to go to the casinos, you have plenty other possibilities how to spend your time in Atlantic City. For example this city has a lot of museums; it has a historic lighthouse, an aquarium and also some golf courses in the area. If you want to relax or just spend a day at the beach, you can go fishing, or playing beach volleyball or surfing and boating. On the Boardwalk you can take a bicycle or just walk and enjoy the atmosphere. You can even go to the new shopping district and spend your time and money, of course, there. For other information you can just visit the information centres.

2. Not only at the weekend Though most of the people come to Atlantic City for >weekends, all hotels might be fully booked. That’s why there are more special rates if you book your hotel in the mid-week (from Sunday to Thursday night).

3. Not only Boardwalk Beside Boardwalk, you will find more city’s casinos like for example Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City, Trump Marina Hotel Casino and Borgata / The Water Club. These resorts are in the Marina District, which is not in a walking distance from the Boardwalk, but taxis there are really cheap, so the transport shouldn’t be a problem.

4. For great dining possibilities, make a reservation In Atlantic City is a restaurant boom. Great entries in every cuisine, price range and style are waiting for you. On weekends the top restaurants are most of time crowded, so it is definitely better if you make a reservation first.

5. Show tickets available in advance Lately the Atlantic City is a kind of East Coast Mecca for entertainment. Many shows are taken place there, but often they are sold out very fast, so the best thing is to buy the tickets in advance. All these shows take normally place at the House of Blues and at the city’s main event arena, the Boardwalk Hall.

6. Taxi fees are low At Atlantic City you can get around with the classic, public transport, which is not that fast, or you use the taxis. The taxis in this city are inexpensive, so it’s the fastest way to get from a place to another.

7. Jitney – another way of transportation Beside the public transportation and the taxis, Atlantic City offers also jitneys. What is actually a jitney? Jitneys are is a mode of cheap and unique transportation. The Jitney Association in Atlantic City began in 1915 and it’s the longest running non- subsidized transit company in America. The term jitney means nickel in old English. A ride per person costs $ 2, 50. The best thing about jitneys is that they run 24 hours a day, without set schedule. If a jitney passes you by, it means that it’s full and that another one available will pass soon and will stop.

8. Rolling chairs available Atlantic City is a city where you can walk easily, but if you are tired or you just don’t want to walk, just get on one of the rolling chairs that ply the Boardwalk. The good thing about Atlantic City is that everything is very close, so it’s easy to walk, but it’s also a great experience to hop on a rolling chair. These chairs hold up to 3 people and those are pushed by other live people. The fee should be about $ 5 for up to 5 blocks.

9. Free parking available In Atlantic City, parking is very convenient and easy to find. Most of the hotels and each casino have free parking for their clients. In Las Vegas the situation is different, because there parking isn’t really easy to find and then it’s expensive.
