Dubbed "America's Favorite Playground" Atlantic City offers visitors a plethora of dining and entertainment choices. The city's long tradition of hospitality began in the 1850's when a local physician envisioned a "bathing village and health resort." The tradition continues with an abundance of amenities and magnificent dining options.

Atlantic City's history includes a list of firsts. The first lifeguards and salt water taffy. The first ocean piers and attempts at Trans-Atlantic flight, the first boardwalk. Atlantic City's boardwalk, completed in 1870 was the first of its kind in the US. It offers a 4-1/2 mile stroll of breathtaking ocean views, shopping opportunities and entrée to the East Coast's best casino resorts. Also of historic note, Boardwalk Hall and the Absecon Lighthouse, which is the tallest of New Jersey's lights and still boasts it's original First-Order Fresnel lens.

Atlantic City offers something for every visitor. Hundreds of dining options within walking distance or a short cab ride from every point in Atlantic City. Every night, some of the hottest names in entertainment are featured on the resort's stages. And of course, there is 24-hour gaming in all 12 casinos.
