I saw a news report last week that said either Bergen or Hudson County want put forth a ballot referendum for a few casinos across the river from NYC. If that passes AC will take another very serious hit. With Indian reservation casinos, the casinos in PA, and the racetrack casinos in NY it was only a matter of time before AC couldn't compete. AC had a an almost 20 year Monopoly and blew it!
As noted AC proper is still a mess and will never change.
Here is an interesting story about the Grand Opening of a grocery store. Apparently they are hard to keep open.

The Fat Cat Casino Barron's were supposed to use a portion of the profits for AC's revitalization, but it looks like all they did was take the money and run!
Long Beach Island (I grew up there) is a great family orientated beach resort about 30 mins north of AC, GSP Exit 63. Plenty to do or nothing at all.
