Travel Tips from people who've been to New Jersey
0142Always Turned On
I took part in Work and Travel Program and I was employed in Resort’s Casino in Atlantic City for 4 months. I had a chance to see good and bad sides of this city. The Bordwalk and Casinos look beautiful, but the deeper you get to the rest of the city it’s becoming uglier and especcially at night can be dangerous. I was always trying to go back home with somebody else, becasue one of my firends was attacked by some thieves.

005Ah, Atlantic City. All I can say about this town is that it is extremely addictive. Famous for it's casinos and nightlife, you can definitely count on good ol' A.C. for an awesome time. Whether you're at the slots, or playing a friendly game of Black Jack, or risking it all at a 1-2 table you're more than likely to have a blast. For those individuals who prefer not to gamble, there are plenty of options available. Take your pick from concerts, to museums exhibits, designer outlets and top of the line restaurants. And of none of these captures your fancy, there is always the Boardwalk and the beach at your fingertips.
Although Bank of America is the reigning bank of Atlantic City, casinos are always available for cash advances, cashing in checks and even sending/receiving money orders and/or Western Union. Also, a good tip for you poker players: Mike and I recently discovered that poker regulars at most casinos who have accrued enough credit on their account can actually stay at the casino for as little as $45. Just call and ask. If you are not a casino regular, look for deals at hotels at least 5 miles outside of the city. There are plenty of accomodations in the surrounding areas. We actually stayed in a nice, king sized hotel suite with a jacuzzi for around $250 for 2 weekend nights back in June. So just do some research and you're bound to find something.
Be sure to bring a little spending money, casual clothing, beach/pool attire and at least one classy evening outfit for the casino. It's always good to dress to impress in any casino. Also, don't forget to tip your dealers and your cocktail waitresses.

023This is a nice change from the usual beach going travel routine. The beach itself is a different type sand, with many colorful rocks and pebbles that are also used in the cobble stoe streets. The waves are good for floating in, not surfing or boogey boarding. There are a handful of restaurants and stores, but Cape Mary isn't that much of a tourist spot. Mant neighborhoods or regular citizens are scattered right along the edge of the beaches, so you won't find too many tourists there, expecially around sundown. At one part on the beach there is sunken ship (the last time I was there anyway), that you can see from the shore. Over all it was a nice place to visit to escape the chaotic bustle of boardwalks and busy tourist spots.
