Vegas
It
is well known that Las Vegas is more busy with people,
tourists, entertainment and city revenue.
Sin City has higher chances of accommodating people
within budget since it has more hotels, resorts etc
than Atlantic City. Vegas is bigger and has more choices
in everything, including casinos,
However,
this also dictates that Vegas keeps more crowded at
any given time. The joint features a famous stretch
of road called The Strip located in the
South Las Vegas Boulevard which is home to about 40
casinos, many of which get a refurbishment every year
or two.
Another
key point of Las Vegas is that it is more comfortable
in winter. This also helps contribute to keeping its
business running round the year.
Atlantic
City starts lightly snowing in winter which leads
to the place becoming a hardcore type gambling town
during the cold - indoor season. This serves as a
technical advantage of sorts for Vegas, and for the
people choosing between the two cities in this season,
it become an important choice with its sunshine and
warm climate.
What
takes Vegas up further in the rankings it is always
beaming with neon lights. This gives Vegas the big
city vibe.

Atlantic
City
The
most important factor that sets Atlantic City apart
from Las Vegas is that it has gorgeous beaches. Now
that's making us want to go there more, being beach
lovers and all.
This
is the key difference between Las Vegas and Atlantic
City, because not only does the city have beaches,
it has free beaches. It you are into mixed martial,
boxing or wrestling, Vegas remains your pick...or
you might have to do both if your a surf lover also.
Beaches
over deserts!
It
is an addition to the getaway experience and a welcome
respite after all the money spent in gambling. It
is interesting to see that even though beaches have
nothing to do with gambling, they are heavy influencers
in attracting gamblers. In this regard, the most famous
spot in the city is the Jersey Shore ... you heard
about it on TV punter.
Casino
Boardwalk
The popular Atlantic City Boardwalk along the ocean
gives the city an interesting vibe which is much sought
after. It provides a holiday festival feel to the
people. There are approx seven major land based casinos
in Atlantic City such as Ballys Atlantic City
and Caesars Atlantic City. They are mostly located
on the iconic Boardwalk and are within walking distance
of each other. During the summer, the city has an
overall nice resort feel with the Boardwalk and great
beaches.
Another
aspect that sets Atlantic City apart from Las Vegas
is its Pedicabs. These are small vehicles like rickshaws
that are manually wheeled on and can help people reach
nearby destinations on the Boardwalk. Pedicabs enable
tourists to reach their fancy casinos without having
to tiring themselves out in heels even before the
night starts.
The
city is also big on its music. Check out the Golden
Nugget and Harrahs Resort singers and headlining
comedians
The
Borgata is a major venue in town. It has a casino
that is 161,000 square feet in area. Visitors can
get some major gambling action with over 4,000 slot
machines and hundreds of table games. The casino is
also known for its world-class poker program and is
big on daily high-stake tourneys.
At
the Borgata, visitors can also catch entertainment
shows by stalwarts like the Rolling Stones, Mariah
Carey, Sting, and Eric Clapton. Other entertainment
options include burlesque, comedy, and rock genres
in venues with up to a seating capacity of 2,400 people.
The place offers the best entertainment in AC.
Atlantic
City gives a unique spin to tourist experience. These
traditional treats act as a perfect add-on to a fun
evening. During the peak season, the place is filled
with people trying their luck at minting some gambling
money.
Stay
or Day Trip?
There are several other factors that come into play
while both avid gamblers and rookies choose between
the East Coast and the West Coast. Some believe that
while Atlantic City tends more towards being a day
trip with beach action, Vegas is more of a staycation.
Some take into consideration the welcoming environment,
Some
pro gamblers also base their decision on which city
has so far brought them the most amount of luck...
so to speak. This is often related to their stand
at the online gambling scene
For
example, if a punter has been highly invested in a
certain AC themed or located online casino or gambling
den, they are most likely to visit Atlantic City.
So,
are you ready to hit lot machines and go for the jackpot?
Vegas and AC are both part of the U.S and both will
welcome you with open arms. Especially the casino
management and front line staff. Online gambling dens
would love to have your baseness, so leap into the
action. Bet with you head, not over it, and have fun.
