Atlantic City on weekdays ???
 
Hi There,<BR><BR>I know that everybody plans to visit Atlantic City on the weekends, but I am planning my first visit to the city, and noticed most of the BIG Hotels also offer VERY cheap rates on the weekdays.<BR><BR>So, I was just wondering if it would be worth visiting the city midweek - is everything still open, and is there just as much to do on the weekdays as it is on the weekends?<BR><BR>Thanks.

AC is like the vomit of New Jersey.<BR>It's dirty, smelly, run down, crime ridden, low class and ugly.<BR>Visit midweek and have all this to yourself.<BR>Yes, everything's open.<BR>Sad as that is.

But other than that, how do you like Atlantic City Frank?

Everything in A.C. is open during the week. But----unless you are going only to gamble it is really a nasty place to visit. If you do go, be sure to get a sub at White House Sub Shop.

As you can see most people are not large fans of A.C. I live in Pa. and avoid it unless there is a show I want to see. Other than that, forget it. I you are set on going then yes weekdays would be fine. I am sure there is as much to do as on the weekends. Don't get your hopes to high. It is really not a nice place.

Other than the casinos, there's not a lot to do in AC so it wouldn't matter when you go unless you like a more crowded atmosphere. You dont say when you're planning on visiting, but if you can wait til the summer, at least there's the Jersey shore for something to do.
