How we DO AC...

So, last weekend we did AC.  You know the new promotion that Atlantic City media folks are pushing, right? DO AC??


You've seen this and other commercials, right?  Well, it got my Hun and I thinking and we took off for a couple of days to relax and not DO too much.

We had a blast!  We visited Maria's Luncheonette on Atlantic Ave.  Tun Tavern (part of the Sheraton across from the Convention Center). We partied (well, tried to at least...) at the 40/40 Club.  [It was SO dead that night (6/2) that we left after only 40 minutes or so.]  We stopped in at the famous Angelo's Fairmount Italian Restaurant.

And most of all we cavorted at the newly renovated Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino.  Did I mention we browsed past Flagship which is located Uptown AC?  They offer timeshares there and it's a family-friendly establishment.  There's also a "passive park", the Oscar E. McClinton, Jr. Waterfront Park, right around the corner from Flagship where you can view the Marina.  Tres chic!  [Yeah, dunno what a passive park is...]

Did you know that Atlantic City is divided into three sections?

  • Uptown
  • MidBeach
  • DownBeach
Yeah.  Sure.  OK.

All the rest of us care about is -- where can I win the most money?  Which casino?? [Many people say DownBeach at Tropicana...]

Anyway, here's our trip in pictures.  Enjoy!!

You think Golden Nugget's taking the theme too far?? 30 chocolates in a box?? For $29.95??
