City of glitzy casinos! Yes, it's a gambling town in New Jersey, 115 miles away from the New York city. Here is a good description of AC. You can also check Lonely Planet.

I visited Atlantic city on 21st June 2003 on a day-long trip from the university campus. The tour was arranged by a staff of our university and I guess I was the youngest person in the group. But still I enjoyed a lot. They were all nice people. We started at 6 am from the campus and reached there by 11:30 am. At 8 pm our bus left Atlantic City and returned at 1 o'clock at night!

I walked up and down the famous boardwalk along the shore for couple of hours. There were so many people in spite of the fact that the weather was not at its best.

Below is a collection of few of the photos I took out there.
