Look out Las Vegas! Atlantic City is in the process of a $1.2 billion face lift. This will include two new casino's, a new tunnel linking one side of the city to the other (less traffic congestion), new attractions, fixing up the Historic Atlantic City Lighthouse, knocking down and rebuilding older houses.

Advantages: Cheap burgers/food Disadvantages: Too polite

When people say that Las Vegas is all about gambling, and little else, they're not kidding. As soon as we were off the plane, we ...
