Atlantic City Gambles on the Economy
Saturday, August 8th, 2009The Jersey Shore — All along the Southern New Jersey shore, business is off. Even communities that are seeing lots of tourists (that are stay-cationing closer to home), are finding that visitors are spending less.
Hardest hit appears to be Atlantic City. With discretionary spending at an all time low, patrons to the casinos are not gambling with what little money they have. Donald Trump claims he is going to bring th e “mojo” back to the city; however, there is little hope.
What is bad news for business turns out to be good news for consumers. Hotel room rates are extremely reasonable during the week. Additionally, comps, coupons and “buy one, get one free” show tickets are plentiful.
With a little planning, a family can have a low cost and high on entertainment vacation.
