 By Natasha Jervis: The East Coast also has a Las Vegas type of hot spot. Yes! That’s right folks! Welcome to Atlantic City where flocking high rollers come to take their chance at the tables. There is much more than just craps and blackjack in this city, such as the legendary boardwalk, eateries and amusements. Built in 1870, this Boardwalk was the first in the nation. This vibrant city is also known for rum-running and illegal gambling back in the Depression and Prohibition days. How is that for history! Atlantic City is situated on Absecon Island, just off the Jersey shores. Visitors should check out the recently restored historical Absecon Lighthouse and ascend 228 steps to see breathtaking views of the Atlantic City skyline. If you’re a golf nut, you’ll love the Atlantic City Country Club or the Harbor Pines Golf Club. Get out the shovels and spades mom and dad! Visiting families love to spend time at the Jersey Shore. Gambling lovers can hit 12 different casinos that possess everything from a Wild West Theme to complete elegance. Visit Atlantic City’s best and head to the Tropicana Casino Hotel or The Borgata Casino Hotel. Try some saltwater taffy, known to be the city’s specialty for 100 years or more. Just make sure you don’t lose any teeth in the process! Go!
