Atlantic City was made just for gamblers whereas Vegas is a tourist destination where you can go and not even gamble.
Now that there is gambling in other places, AC has lost almost all its business.
As some of you said, they should of demolished everything and made it one large hotel/ casino area.
Where they really dropped the ball is the beaches, they are horrible. That was the one edge AC had; a beach. Who wants to lay out on those dirty looking beaches! Not me.
I was there last month and was literally a ghost town, i am not kidding, it was really sad. The Marina is the only significant area( bargata/ harrahs).
