Originally founded as a health resort, the city has transformed into a hotspot for luxury shopping, spa treatments, and casino nights. Visitors can even enjoy a performance at one of the casinos, and enjoy the glitzy nightlife. Besides gambling, Atlantic is also home to several high-end casinos, which offer spa treatments and other luxury services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Atlantic City is safe during the day, be careful to walk around at night and stay in a populated area. Avoid walking behind casinos or on the beach after dark. Pickpockets are common in this part of the country, and you&#8217;re better off staying in an area with a lot of people. As with any tourist destination, avoid bringing valuable items from home to prevent pickpockets. If you&#8217;re traveling with a large group, it may be safer to rent an apartment in a casino town, since the crowds are lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun way to pass the time, don&#8217;t miss the Lucky Snake arcade. Located in the Showboat Hotel, this arcade offers hours of entertainment for only $1 a game. It&#8217;s suitable for the entire family, and there are more than 300 games to choose from. Players load game credits onto their games card, and then can choose the games they want to play. There&#8217;s also a Sports Bar and special package deals to suit different tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a taste of the culture and history of the city, visitors can take a tour of the town&#8217;s attractions. The most popular attractions are the Boardwalk and the Casino. The Absecon Lighthouse, New Jersey&#8217;s tallest lighthouse, is also a must-see. It was first lit in 1857 and has recently undergone a multi-million-dollar restoration. Once inside, the lights are visible for miles around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic City boardwalk is lined with fudge and ice cream stands. You can even find a funnel cake or a shaved-ice stand. While you&#8217;re at it, don&#8217;t miss the Fralinger&#8217;s Taffy Shop. The shop, which was established in 1885 by Joseph Fralinger, is famous for producing more than 11,000 pounds of saltwater taffy a day. A visit to the boardwalk will keep you entertained for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlantic City boardwalk is home to numerous casinos and attractions, including a Jimmy Buffett-themed tiki bar. The boardwalk is also home to a scavenger hunt, which takes about two hours to complete. It costs $10 per person, and involves finding clues in the city&#8217;s landmarks. For the scavenger hunt, a smartphone is needed to track down clues, so you can download an app.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The resort city of Atlantic City, New Jersey, is known for its many casinos, wide beaches, and iconic Boardwalk.
