Things to do
To maximize fun on vacation, select a vacation rental in Atlantic City nearest to the attractions you plan to frequent during your stay. The Atlantic City Boardwalk is the most popular attraction in the city, and its family-friendliness makes it perfect for vacationers of every age.

The Garden Pier at the Boardwalk includes the Atlantic City Art Center and the Atlantic City Historical Museum, while the legendary Steel Pier is an amusement park with more than 25 extreme rides. If you’ve left the kids at home, a visit to the Borgata Casino or Caesars Atlantic City Casino is a must. Take your chances at the poker tables or keep it low-key playing some of the slot machines. A trip to the casino could pay for your trip to Atlantic City!
During the summer, the beach is the place to be. Sunbathe with the company of a good book, take a windsurfing lesson, or test your patience fishing. Some of the popular beaches in the area include Downtown, Crystal, Delaware, and Jackson Beaches.
