Been there many times ... you'll have fun, but keep your expectations low, the place is a shithole, very ghetto. The Tropicana is a good choice though, they have a place inside called "The Quarter" that has a bunch of bars and restaurants all in one place. There is also a Hooters in the Tropicana, should the mood strike haha

Hang at the boardwalk, then take a cab to the Borgata for the nightlife -- by far the best place in AC. Gordon Ramsey's restaurant is there (haven't been there yet), as is Murmur, the best AC club. Caesar's new PIER is also a great place to hang (which includes a sweet, huge sports bar, I think its called "Game On"). Have fun!

If you are walking around, stay on the boardwalk -- the surrounding areas are horrible, and dangerous.

Everything he just said!!!

I was there about 5 years ago, and they were just in the middle of building that new pier. We played at Bally's all night. Was only there for a few hours, as we were there to visit family that lives in Jersey (right outside of Philly).

The drive is nice, just long.

Sucks.

Just go up to Windsor and Detroit.
Or spend nearly the same amount of money and head to Vegas.
Went to AC and thought it was just awful. It is so ghetto and smelly.

I'm going to A.C. for a bachelorette party this summer since we're all from the NYC Metro area and its cheaper for us to go there than Vegas. Should be pretty fun.

The question is can I convince the party to go there instead of same lame male revue?
