Atlantic City (population 45,000) is in southeast New Jersey on the Atlantic Ocean, 145 miles / 230 km south of New York City, 70 miles / 112 km southeast of Philadelphia.Once it was a small seaside resort and a fishing village, now it is the number one casino travel destination of the East Coast.In 1976, New Jersey voters approved casino gambling in a state referendum, mainly to rebuild the decaying Atlantic City, and to create more jobs. The first legal gaming casino 'Resorts International' opened on May 26, 1978.The Taj Mahal, Atlantic City's largest and most extravagant casino, opened in early 1990.Most are located along the famous Boardwalk, except for 'Trump Marina' and 'Harrah's' which are located near the Marina.Atlantic City strikes a sharp contrast between the city's old and decaying buildings, run down neighborhoods, and the palatial style casino hotels along the boardwalk.The casino hotels are architecturally imposing.They offer fine accommodations, variety of restaurants, big name star entertainment, and professional tournaments.But gambling is still the name of the game.It is the main reason why millions of people come to Atlantic City each year.Most casino games are available here.
