Whether you’re looking for fun in the sun or a great game of Texas Hold ‘Em, look no further than Atlantic City. Just around the corner from Manhattan and host to numerous celebrated casinos, Atlantic City is the quintessential resort community. Thanks to respected interest by such famed investors as Donald Trump, Atlantic City has undergone an intense restoration in recent years. Trump’s development of the Taj Mahal Resort & Casino, for instance, has revitalized Atlantic City as a contemporary hot spot. Donald Trump spared no expense when creating the Taj Mahal. The property features $14 million dollars in German crystal chandeliers, 17 acres of prime boardwalk real estate and more than 1,200 lavishly appointed guest rooms. In short, the Taj Mahal alone is worth a trip to Atlantic City.

If you crave a taste of the old school, there is also the famed Atlantic City boardwalk. Originally built in 1870, the boardwalk has been carefully restored in keeping with tradition. Its contemporary design offers all the safety and convenience of a modern attraction, yet still features a pleasant façade reminiscent of the city’s charming beginnings. Stroll down its four miles of weathered planks and visit Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, attend a free outdoor concert, or spend the afternoon at the Atlantic City Art Center.
