Happy Camper!
Going up for a weekend. Any suggestions on what to do in the boardwalk area other than the beach & casinos? We've done the Ripley's museum (not really impressed enough to go back again)

Unless there is a show at the convention center that interests you, there ain't much to do in AC besides gamble, unless you like to hand your money to the strip clubs.

You'll only be about an hour from Philly. I suggest you hang there one night. Go to priceline .com. Put $125 in for a 4 star hotel. Prolly get it for $145. last time I stayed at the Loew's hotel. 26th floor with a direct view of William Penn Tower and the river. Beautiful view. Beautiful hotel/bar/resteraunt/lobby for $145 inc. tax. Awesome time of year to go to Philly.

But even AC is gonna be mobbed this weekend with High School Prom goers. Every place is.

Atlantic City's Boardwalk Still Among Best

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - It's 4 1/2 miles of souvenir shops, storefront psychics and pizza stands. It's where temptation beckons from neon-trimmed casinos and where no one is safe from the sea gulls. There's something special about the Atlantic City Boardwalk — even now, 135 years after the first one was built here, a crude effort to keep beachgoers from tracking sand into hotel lobbies.

The world-famous wooden way, a pedestrian-only avenue flanked by casinos and storefronts on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, remains the heart of Atlantic City, in all its kitschy, dime-store glory.

"It's the nicest Boardwalk there is," said Brigitta Wagenhoffer, 79, of Lansdale, Pa., taking a break recently from the slot machines to sun herself on a Boardwalk bench. "It's always clean, and that's the most important thing."

The promenade's recent topping of a list of America's best "seaside strolls" is merely the frosting on the funnel cake.

To Reader's Digest, it was the Boardwalk's status as the granddaddy of seaside promenades that prompted its listing this month as first among seven "seaside strolls." The distinction appears in the magazine's "America's 100 Best" issue.

The other boardwalks listed were in Virginia Beach, Va., Santa Cruz, Calif., Santa Monica, Calif., Ocean City, Md., Myrtle Beach, S.C., and Rehoboth Beach, Del.

Sounds like you'll be able to find something to do while there. :yay:

I went up to Atlantic City many years ago and it was pretty dirty. There were folks swimming in the ocean with trash barges in eye-sight.

Football season!
AC is still dirty, but they have really cleaned it up a lot. They finally realized they have one thing that vegas can't offer, an ocean (I'm sure Wynn is working on building one of those in vegas soon. Mandalay Bay doesn't count!).
Anyways, the hotels have begun to add big beach bars with either live music or DJs. makes for a fun atmosphere, get to enjoy the water without turning green from swimming in it!
