Because of its proximity to some of the larger metropolitan areas of the United States, Atlantic City was once called the "America's Playground."

It was because the people from New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC went there for vacation and everyone knows what assholes those people can be about the whole world revolving around them.

  • Atlantic City is a city in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, and a nationally renowned resort city for gambling, shopping and fine dining. The city also served as the inspiration for the board game Monopoly. Atlantic City is located on Absecon Island on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city has a population of 39,558. There were 274,549 people living in the Atlantic City–Hammonton metropolitan statistical area. Atlantic City officially became a city in 1854. The new city contained portions of Egg Harbor Township and Galloway Township. The three routes into Atlantic City are the Black Horse Pike/Harding Highway (US 322/40), White Horse Pike (US 30) and the Atlantic City Expressway. Atlantic City is roughly 120 miles south of New York City by road, 62 miles southeast of Philadelphia, and borders Absecon, Brigantine, Pleasantville, Ventnor and West Atlantic City (part of Egg Harbor Township).
  • Because of its proximity to some of the larger metropolitan areas of the United States, Atlantic City was once called the "America's Playground." This was not because people from all over the country went there for vacation. It was because the people from New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC went there for vacation and everyone knows what assholes those people can be about the whole world revolving around them. At one time it was a pretty cool place to hang out because of entertainers like the Rat Pack and Dizzy Gillespie played there regularly at cool old hotspots with names like the 500 Club and The Harlem Club. But in the 1960's and 1970's, as Las Vegas gained popularity, the cool factor went west with the entertainers leaving AC a burned out, rusting, crime-ridden shell. With the introduction of Casino Gambling in 1979, Atlantic City has become a burned out, rusting, crime-ridden shell with about 12 casinos hugging the shoreline so as not to get too close to the shit on the rest of the island. The glitz and glamour of the casinos contrasted with the blight of the rest of the island has been described by some as "glitter on dogshit."
