Man Atlantic City is super cool, they just need some taller buildings and some more buildings and get a nice skyline going with some residential towers and waaalah! A perfect getaway city! If they wanted too they could take Las Vegas's crown away with some more massive renovation projects and dramatically changing into something more than Vegas, in my opinion.

I agree. It's only 11 square miles and under 40K in pop, it can atleast achieve 100K+ in pop.
They have a pretty big Island within AC's borders that is barely even developed. (where the AC Higschool is)
They should really start working around that, it has a nice setting. They could even develop a housing stock that could help bring in a wealthier crowd. The Atlantic City MSA is the fastest growing MSA in the North East- Now if the same could be done withing the city proper, AC could make a bigger and better name for itself. It could be the city NJ can call its own without being in a 10 mile radius of NYC.
Of course, this would take decades and heaps of money- But AC needs it.

Definitely true. Still, for AC to be as small as it is it definitely has some pretty tall buildings (Harrah's 525ft) (Trump chairman tower nearly 500ft (470))
I think Revel is supposed to be around 6-700 ft. (if they can get the damn thing finished)
And you're right, some more residential towers would definitely add to it. AC's metro is growing, but AC itself has been the same size for many many years.
That's not AC- IDK where that is but I know for a fact that it's not AC.
Atlantic city does have some rough areas Especially the (Village ) I know plenty of people in Atlantic city.. Its hidden and people never know because they dont venture out past that Board walk..

Ill take Reno
AC being as small as it is really means that the tourism heavy areas are all a visitor would concern themselves with (why would anyone want to go there anyway?).
And excluding the B'walk there's the Marina district which contains AC's only real Vegas-style casinos.
I'll take A.C., I grew up near it and love it to death. It does have some sketchy areas, but I've never had a problem with them. Also, A.C. has a beach and is not near a desert so it wins for me based on those two categories alone.
Also, boardwalk roller chairs + drunk people + free high fives = Awesomeness
Atlantic City is the 2nd best gambling city. And in my opinion they even have better location (on the beach) than Las Vegas does (mountains). I like beaches more I guess.
My wife's Friend went to A/C every week, while there I told her we were going out to the Boardwalk to look at the Ocean, she replied "there's an Ocean?"
