Atlantic City: Attractions and more...
Atlantic City is famed for two things. One is its casinos; the most popular is Donald Trump’s Taj Mahal Casino, with its 7 elephants, 40 minarets and a 30 m long lobby table.
The other famous landmark is the nearly 2 km long Boardwalk, which is the best way to get around the city. Off the Boardwalk you can come to the Steel Pier, which is an amusement pier with rides, candy stands and an excellent Go-kart track. The Garden Pier has the eventful Atlantic City Historical Museum & Art Centre.
The city’s Convention Hall is a former host of the Miss America Pageant, and makes for an important visit because of its 33,112-pipe organ, which is one of the largest in the world. Don’t forget to climb the 228 steps up the classic Absecon Lighthouse, which is the third tallest in America and has been open since 1857.
Visitors in October can be a part of the city’s Film and Music Festival, or even take part in the annual Atlantic City Marathon on October 15.
