There are many "true" gamblers that still go to Atlantic City. Closer doesn't matter when a person has a favorite place because they are treated royally and they don't want to change where they play. It is a comfort zone with them and some even consider it status and like to brag about it.

What do you mean Atlantic City never had any other attractions other than the boardwalk??? Are you serious? Atlantic City had (and still has) beautiful wide beaches. It had the Steel Pier and rolling chairs on the boardwalk and beautiful hotels. It was a resort town second to none years ago and I'm not speaking about "the turn of the century." The turn of the century? Where did that come from? We aren't speaking about 1899 or even 1901. As a child growing up there, it was definitely on the map and a place to go!


I agree to disagree. Jersey has many seaside towns, that people visit. I haven't heard too many people that specifically wanted to go to AC for the beach and boardwalk. It has been a rundown area near the casino, with people not willing to venture out and about.

Most people I know, don't want to jump in a car and and drive 3 hours to AC when they can gamble at a place closer. It doesn't have the attractiveness it once had, and most people don't want to take a long trip to gamble. If one lives close to AC, that is an option for people in the near vicinity.

You are entitled to your opinion as I am!!!

You weren't speaking about any other seaside town in New Jersey; you were speaking specifically about Atlantic City. Period.

You also were not speaking about the people you know who lived three hours away. I never said it has the attractiveness it once had and you were talking about "the turn of the century," which was laughable and had nothing to do with anything! I wasn't around at the turn of the century and I assume you weren't either.

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion but nothing you said was an opinion. Conveniently, you changed the subject, however, there is nothing I said with which you can disagree.
