Atlantic-City is synonymous for non-stop fun and excitement. Located on Absecon Island off the coast of New Jersey, it's affectionately known as "America's Favorite Playground." Atlantic City has always primarily been a resort town, incorporated in 1854, the same year that train service began linking it with the cities of Philadelphia and New York City. Today, the area draws more than 30 million visitors each year that come for the world class casinos, five star hotels and dining, headliner entertainment, the premium beaches, shopping, spas, museums and world famous boardwalk. Atlantic City casinos offer slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps, baccarat, and keno, race books and specialty table games. Outside the casinos, stroll the famous boardwalk and sample some saltwater taffy or fresh roasted peanuts - the rides, shops and entertainment piers make the boardwalk a destination unto itself. Visit the picturesque marina, or enjoy sailing, boating, fishing or golf. Atlantic City has many museums, such as the Children's Museum in Egg Harbor Township, the Brigantine Sea Life Museum and Marine Mammal Stranding Center, or Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum. Fine art can also be found at the Atlantic City Art Center or take a step back in time at Gardner's Basin with its' antiques, fisherman's museum and ocean life center. Other Atlantic City area attractions include the Towne of Historic Smithville, with its' 60 colonial era shops and the Absecon Lighthouse; a 171-foot tower built in 1857 that offers fantastic views of the Jersey Shore. Atlantic City is "Always Turned On" and has countless attractions and activities for visitors of all ages.
