People are obviously visible walking around the stylish walls and on brilliant floors of the casinos. Employees are busy taking care of luggage and stuff of their customers. Elite women and tuxedo dressed men are edging on hot seats of the casino.  Atlantic City has many delightful surprises to give its visitors.

One of the vice presidents of an extravagant hotel-casino said that there are more visitors and newcomers arriving each day. The number of tickets had enormously increased for viewing  some treasured music of great legends and that’s another reason why there are more shows produced throughout the city which shows that tourism is on the rise in Atlantic city.

Summer is the most popular get-away time for gamblers plus new players and site seers, however many of them visit throughout the entire year as well. During summer, live music shows appeal to many people.

The Pink Floyd Laser Show in Atlantic City, NJ is a show that you will not want to miss! This Laser Spectacular show done by the Texas-based expertise of Paramount Entertainment will have you awe as it takes you in by their special laser techniques. Synchronized to the music of the popular Pink Floyd, this 90-minute show was first done back in the early 90s.

With new additions and adjustments, this rockin’ show is now seen throughout approximately 75 cities each year. Steve Monistere, who is the president of Paramount Entertainment, states that it is comparable to a live performance concert minus the band and that you will not be disappointed.

The sound for The Laser Spectacular involves a 10,000-watt stereo system that rocks the house. This show also boasts high quality lighting, as well as many incredible props. On a 2,500-foot screen you will be in for a treat with colored lights and images that are animated. When a laser is presented you will notice that the light beam is so strong. This laser is so strong that it has the potential to pierce metal. Only used for digital recordings, microsurgery, fiber optics and other technical situations back in the 60s, the laser then now found its way into the entertainment industry. The usage of the laser in planetariums in the 70s was when its popularity really took off and made a name for itself.

Initially, the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular is performed to the album, Dark Side of the Moon, followed by The Best of Pink Floyd. It is not uncommon to see a few generations of people sitting next to each other as the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular attracts crowds from 15 years of age to 30 years of age to 50 years of age. What began as a band back in the day has now rekindled a new respect for the music that the younger people are finding enjoyment from. After each showing of the Laser Spectacular featuring the Pink Floyd music CD sales have been shown to skyrocket.

With technology advancing so rapidly in the past 20 years the Laser Spectacular has also gained more by receiving improvements with each new technological enhancement. Receiving rave reviews this deserving credit is warranted by this incredible and amazing laser extravaganza!

Do not miss this one-of-a-kind, breathtaking Laser Spectacular featuring the music of Pink Floyd at their best. Come and enjoy what all have been talking about and see for yourself just how fantastic this show is. Purchase your tickets early to see this Laser Spectacular on July 31, 2009 at 9 p.m. at the Atlantic City, Hilton in Atlantic City, NJ.

There are very few rock bands that have thrived through several decades. Often, a band may devise a certain musical sound but its appeal will be limited by the social and cultural aspects of the time period it emerged. Then, there are those excellent bands that can thrive and grow through each passing decade. This allows them to maintain their old fans while capturing new ones. Such is the case with the legendary band Loverboy. This band has entertained millions over the years and now they are bringing their special sound to Atlantic City, NJ as part of their new concert tour.

One reason for the tour is that it is intended to help promote the band’s new CD release which features re-mastered versions of the band’s classic songs. And, of course, the songs will be featured on the band’s concert performances. As such, anyone that loves the legendary songs this band has recorded can enjoy them through live and in person when they appear at the world famous Hilton Casino in Atlantic City.

The Hilton is one of the most popular casinos in Atlantic City and it has long since been a great venue for enjoying concerts of all sorts. A complete role call of the many famous bands that have appeared at The Hilton would be far too expansive to present in a short blog post. However, it would be no understatement to state that it has been home to some incredibly memorable concerts. Now, Loverboy will be arriving at the casino on July 18, 2009 to continue this tradition.

Loverboy first emerged on the music scene in Vancouver, Canada in 1980. The band quickly emerged as a popular local attraction and began touring Canada and the United States. Despite the fact that the band was clearly popular among its growing fan base, no American record label would sign Loverboy to a deal. It was the Canadian division of Columbia Records that eventually did sign them and it turned out to be a tremendous decision. Loverboy would go on to sell several millions of albums and became one of the hottest touring bands of the 1980’s.

As the years moved forward, Loverboy sought a lower profile during the 1990’s. This is not to say the band was not producing albums (CDs) or touring. Actually, Loverboy was quite active and this helped the band maintain its fan base even as musical tastes changed. Of course, the evolution of Loverboy’s style of music certainly played a role in the bands ability to remain a popular concert tour draw. Now, the band is entering into its third decade together and its new tour is drawing very well as sellouts are becoming commonplace.

Those in the New Jersey area should definitely purchase their tickets for this amazing concert event. This will be Loverboy’s only appearance in Atlantic City this year and it should no be missed. And it certainly should not be missed by longtime Loverboy fans. Really, this will be a special event.

This happened a lot faster than I imagined, but we made some noise and some progress. The word is AtlanticCity.com customers will not have a surprise when they book Bally’s and end up in Claridge Tower.

There are a few programming issues to adjust and I will keep you posted on that progress.

FYI here are specs on the room types at Bally’s.

We have been getting some flack lately, rightly so, about people booking Bally’s  and ending up in Claridge Tower.  We take our customer’s satisfaction very seriously.  Even though we have a warning in our reservation area that Bally’s may put people in Claridge Tower when the others towers are full, people are still upset when it happens. Bally’s, owned by Harrahs considers Claridge Tower as an extension of the  Bally’s property.  Therefore, at Bally’s option, depending on availability, people will get a room where Bally’s chooses. This still doesn’t make people happy knowing Claridge is Bally’s, especially when they didn’t think much of the warning or hoped for the best.

As far as Claridge goes I know it has been remodeled since Bally’s bought it, and many people don’t mind. However, there are folks who feel slighted and we agree with them.

Our suggestion as of now is to either gamble :)  and book Bally’s knowing you may end up in Claridge, or simply choose from our other casinos  we book.  We have them all.

And to let you know, this is not a closed case.  We have our people reaching out to Harrahs to try to come up with a solution that will work for everyone.

In two words,  Customer Satisfaction.  I am sure we all have the experience of voicing a complaint no matter where it was,  and we were the guilty party, according to the customer “service”.  Hell I have seen this here on our reviews. The hotel personnel blame our valued clients.   Not that it happens frequently but when it does happen we are all over it.  We can’t make everyone happy,  but we will certainly try.

Some of you will notice we have just instituted a reply to your reviews.  We read every review, and reply to most. Your feedback is just as important to us as it is to people who read reviews about your stay.

We deal with many travel sites in our business. Orbits, Expedia etc  and the trend I see is less personal, and more price oriented.

Here at AtlanticCity.com our staff is 110%  people oriented, and we guarantee the lowest rate.

So the bottom line is that when you are happy we tick!
