Atlantic City

That Atlantic City is beginning to look a bit like Las Vegas is by design, not accident. No, they haven't imported sand from the desert--with Atlantic City's unparalleled beachfront, there's no need to. And don't count on seeing palm trees anytime soon; southern New Jersey, despite its stingy snowfall totals, is northern in climate. What you can count on--and what is already in evidence--is the type of themed entertainment that Las Vegas has raised to an art form.
