BILOXI vs ATLANTIC CITY: Better city to gamble? (life, market, beach) - City vs. City - City-Data Forum

Which area do you believe is better for gaming and superior as an overall vacation destination, MS Coast or the Jersey Shoreline, and why. DO NOT INCLUDE VEGAS OR COMMENTS ON VEGAS...THIS IS FOR AREAS OUTSIDE OF VEGAS ONLY, THANK YOU!!

I like both areas, but choose Biloxi simply because of weather and beach, and proximity cities I prefer, like New Orleans, Mobile/Gulf Shores or the FLA Panhandle.

Atlantic City isn't what I would call special, but you couldn't pay enough to "vacation" in Biloxi lol. Plus, I don't gamble anyways since the house always wins and I don't believe in giving money away to the "corportations."

atlantic city... nightlife there much better... casinos quite a bit nicer as well as the food.

nightlife in biloxi...

locals there mingling in with visitors is a bit scary.

although I might go to just harrah's in new orleans and vacation there over both (since I can't mention vegas)

I've never been to the Gulf Coast, but I love Atlantic City so much I'm going to have to vote for it.

HAHA. Atlantic City By FARRRRRRRR

Biloxi? I really don't want to experience the nightlife in Mississippi.

Atlantic City, plus you can go down to Wildwood.

Spend like 2 days in Atlantic City then drive 30 miles South and spend about 3 or 4 days in Wildwood. That's a nice vacation.

I think Atlantic City on it's own would be better than Biloxi. I think they're in different leagues gambling-wise.

From a pure gaming standpoint, AC is a more mature market. With far more options.

MS coast is certainly climbing the ladder, but you'll have to ask again in about 15 years.

How was Biloxi come back since Katrina? I was down there ~10 years ago and had a damn good time. I'd like to get back at some point.
