"The World's Famous Playground" — Atlantic City, also known as the Las Vegas of the East and Monopoly City, is the East Coast's gaming and resort capital, drawing more than 27 million visitors a year. A skyline of casino towers sets it apart from every other Shore town. Nine casinos currently operate; Hard Rock and Ocean both opened within the past decade.
Originally home to the Lenni Lenape, the city was incorporated in 1854. The Camden-Atlantic Railroad quickly tied it to Philadelphia, and Dr. Jonathan Pitney, the Father of Atlantic City, helped build it into a health resort by the sea.
The boardwalk itself was invented here. Built in 1870 to keep sand out of hotel lobbies, it remains the city's crown jewel — four miles long, lined with saltwater taffy stands, the Steel Pier amusement park, and a 227-foot observation wheel.
During Prohibition, AC ran as a bootlegging haven under political boss Enoch "Nucky" Johnson. That era is the basis for HBO's Boardwalk Empire.
Absecon Lighthouse, the Shore's tallest, stands just inland — 228 steps to panoramic coastal views.
Atlantic City is built for the active seeker, visitors who want more than a beach chair. The crowd skews mature and affluent, drawn by gaming and nightlife, and the city is also a major hub for trade-show business travelers.
