Very divided city 2 rating By Meffinz ( May 29, 2018) Atlantic City is a good city in terms of amenities. It's full of casino's and restaurants and things to do, but unfortunately, this creates a massive pay gap and race gap. Living in Atlantic City is literally like living inside of Ellyrium. The main part of Atlantic City is prima ...Read More rily black and hispanic and really poor due to the casinos, whereas to the north on the island of brigantine, everybody is rich and white and goes into atlantic city to gamble.

Atlantic City is Great for Families Too! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Apr 26, 2018) Despite the news of Atlantic City and their casinos tumbling into the sea, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. First off, the casinos are coming back in a big way, but that only helps to bring more things to this area great for families too. Our neighborhood is fu ...Read More ll of residents who work at the casino and come from all over the world.

Even though the casinos are geared towards getting adults in the doors, there is plenty for families with kids to do here. The best areas in Atlantic City include the Rain Forest Cafe, Ripley's Believe it or Not, there is even a mall that stretches out over the Atlantic Ocean from the boardwalk that looks like a real ocean liner.

With all that new casino business, it attracted tons of chain restaurants to this area, so me and my family can try a new place every week without even getting near the casino. Concerts on the beach, museums, and a boardwalk with arcade games for the little ones, it's like a new adventure every week living in Atlantic City. Read Less
