Despite my love of oceans and things nautical, I was never a fan of Atlantic City, New Jersey, the State where I was born and lived for most of my life.

When Atlantic City's first casinos opened I made the obligatory trip there to see what all the fuss was about; and, although I was impressed with the structures, the overall tone of the place turned me off.

I found Las Vegas to be much friendlier, far more varied in its gambling and entertainment offerings and a better bargain overall.

But that was me, most people loved it however, and the casinos flourished, perhaps because of their novelty.

Over time Native American casinos started appearing, and Atlantic City's luster began to tarnish. It became obvious that more than just standard fare gambling and entertainment would be necessary to bring the crowds back.

Some new casinos were erected and existing properties were remodeled but more was needed and now it looks as if a new Atlantic City is starting to emerge.

Here's what's going on with the move to make Atlantic City the new Las Vegas.
