I grew up in the Atlantic City area and I think I can probably help you. Your cheapest bets for a hotel stay are going to be at Showboat, Bally's, and probably the Hilton. Those are all on the boardwalk. Of course if you are willing to stay inland a little bit, it will be much cheaper. In regards to must-sees.... you have to eat at a restaurant called Los Amigos. It is a tiny little place that mostly only locals know about but it has wonderful atmosphere, food, and margaritas. If you like Italian, try Angelo's. Things to do... well that is where you have me stumped unless you like to go to dance clubs, bars, or casinos to gamble. There is a karaoke restaurant and a comedy place in the Tropicana. There is a Starbucks in the Pier accross from caesars that has a huge glass wall and you can sit in their couches and look out over the ocean.. really pretty. You can always catch a pretty good concert. Borgata has the most well known bands while House of Blues also brings in some good talent. Speaking of House of Blues, one fun thing you can do on Sunday mornings is go to Gospel Brunch. They have a huge pread of food and a gospel choir there to entertain you. It is really good fun and the food is pretty yummy too. I have plenty more suggestions but these will get you started. I will check back on this thread if you have any more questions for me. Hopefully I can help you.
