Going to the east coast

YOu can even watch DisneySteve playing a mean game of $5 blackjack at the Borgata

Nope. That would never work. First off, you won't find a $5 BJ table at Borgata. Second, if you want to find me, you would need to check the $25 tables at Caesar's.

We have reserved an room at the Trump Marina Casino. I like the small tourist type shopping towns, hopefully, I can get her to shop while I sip a beer.

One thing that is less than 10 miles from AC that you might enjoy is the town of Smithville. It is a very quaint community of stores and restaurants that is a great place to spend an afternoon.

In AC, visit the Absecon Lighthouse. You can climb to the top and get a beautiful view of the area. It is not far from where you'll be staying as it is at the northern end of AC about 1 block from the Showboat hotel.

Don't miss the light show on the tower of Harrah's in the marina at night. And be sure and visit Borgata just to walk around and see the property. They have several Dale Chihuly glass sculptures on display.
