|  | gambling capitol of New Jersey We've visited Atlantic City the gambling capitol of New Jersey in the summer of 1997 and 1998. The casino's are located alongside a 4 1/2 mile long board walk. More than 33 million people a year pay atlantic city a visit. |
Long walks, nice shops We went to AC driving from Port Monmouth went up and down in a day. It was our first encounter with the large casino's in the US. The first thing that i remember are all the large bill boards for the casino's alongside the road when Atlantic City is still far in the distance.
Little did we know how big the casino's where in Vegas. |  | |
