People think that Atlantic City, NJ is just another gambling town where all you do is gamble, party, and get drunk. Well, this past weekend, I stayed there for three nights in a hotel near the boardwalk and I was determined to not lose all my money. My husband and I came with two other couples and shared a 2 bedroom suite. We hung out with one couple a lot more because they didn’t want to lose most of their money either. We used the tourist information center to our full advantage. We walked up and down the boardwalk, walked to Caesar’s Outlet shopping center, walked back to the hotel, hung out at the hot tub/pool, and the beach. We drove over to the Atlantic City Aquarium and fed stingrays and sharks and looked at crazy looking aquatic creatures. We did gamble one night and we lost some money, but we realized that we didn’t like the feeling of losing our money so easily in such a short amount of time without anything to show for it. Also, the emotional highs and lows of gambling were overwhelming, and we could see how people can get addicted so easily. On our last night, we watched our friend, an amateur mixed martial arts fighter, fight at the Resorts Theater and had a few drinks at our hotel. All in all, a good weekend with great friends and most of our money.
