The
New Atlantic City
If
you haven’t been to Atlantic City in awhile
then you do not know what you’re missing!
ATLANTIC CITY (AP)
12/29/2005 — LL Cool J was playing
the House of Blues. A few blocks away, rapper
Jay-Z's new nightclub was rocking…
Rejuvenated by a saucy new casino, trendy clubs
and beach bars and a vibrant music scene, Atlantic
City is evolving into a nightlife hotspot for
people in their 20s, 30s and 40s who once saw
it as one big neon-lit retirement home for senior
citizens who arrive by the busload to play the
slot machines.
Atlantic City began making the shift with the
opening of the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
in mid-2003. It stressed sexy fun more than
gambling in its advertising, it showcased its
racy "Borgata Babes" cocktail waitresses,
it offered high-end restaurants, and it booked
contemporary stars into its showrooms, instead
of the aging crooners and nostalgia acts for
which Atlantic City was known.
Resorts Atlantic
City — which in the past year has
booked rapper Snoop Dogg, opened a trendy Nikki
Beach bar and switched its piped-in house music
from Motown to contemporary — has experienced
a similar shift. Now, 60% of the gamblers in
the casino's player database are under 50, compared
with 39% 18 months ago.
Showboat Casino-Hotel,
meanwhile, brought in the House of Blues, a
chain of restaurant-nightclubs that built a
$65 million addition consisting of a 2,200-seat
theater, a restaurant, 50 hotel suites and its
own mini-casino. Among the acts booked to appear
at House of Blues this month: mewithoutyou,
Puny Human and Avenged Sevenfold.
Convention
Center
The
Atlantic City Convention Center
is located at the foot of the city’s Grand
Boulevard and offers state-of-the-art voice,
video and data technology within a breathtaking
setting. The six-year-old building is served
by 29 covered loading docks and 1,500 indoor
parking spaces and features the largest exhibit
space in the Northeast. Sandy beaches, fine
dining, 24-hour casinos and big name entertainment
are all just minutes away.
