Which Train/Buses would I have to catch if I want to go Atlantic City from MetLife Stadium. I plan to come to NJ later this year and I already know it takes an hour to get to Atlantic City From MetLife Stadium but know sure of which route to go with buses & trains to catch.

Also are there any hotels right by MetLife Stadium?

It'd be an hour on a bullet train. Driving takes over two hours from there.

Check to see what bus companies still go from North Jersey or Manhattan to AC.

There's a hotel across from MetLife on Route 3 and a few on Paterson Plank Rd. It's easier to get around that area with a rental car. The meadowlands is not pedestrian friendly at all.

As others have mentioned, there's no way to make it in one hour by train. There's no convenient train from Metlife to Atlantic City. You would have to take the train to Secaucus, then another train to Trenton, then another train to Philadelphia, and finally another train to Atlantic City. It's not happening.

There are busses, but they will take around 2.5 hours. I'm not familiar with the busses.

Oh the reason is after I go to a Giants game next season, I would like to visit a friend that lives in Atlantic City.

That person was thinking its 2015 and we have those hovercraft thingies lol. It could take you an hour to walk out the gate, lol.
There are trains and buses. I think you'd take a train to Philadelphia then one across Southern NJ, forget the hour bizness.

Yep that is a good idea, can't beat $12 for a round trip and they usually throw in casino freebies which of course they expect (the casinos) that you will keep throwing money into the slots to get your money back LOL., but that is a cheap deal.
