We do like Resorts, as far as the hotel itself goes. Our room was comfortable, and clean. It is decorated nicely and for the most part, it was quiet.
Our intention was to go for 2 nights and just rest and relax... a short, and needed getaway. However, the casino did attract our attention, and we do like to walk the boardwalk, so there was not much rest to speak of, which was our fault!
We made the choice to go to Atlantic City and Resorts, because it was within driving distance from home in DE, and the cost of the room. Will we return? Chances are 50/50. We had little choice in places to dine that were within walking distance (we like to park and then not drive once we check in) and if you are a non-smoker, with any upper respiratory issue, smoke was definitely a huge issue in the casinos. There are non-smoking areas in the casinos, but it appears that they cater more to smokers, and the smoke penetrates the non-smoking areas, as well. Those were our two big negatives about the visit, and that is a concern about a return trip for us.
To be honest, we see little improvement, if any, to the boardwalk area. It is dirty and the shops boarded up and sloppy, unprofessional, signage does not make you want to go into the businesses, if they are open.
The new PIER, is a very nice place to visit and walk through, with high priced stores that we could not consider shopping in, but I would definitely tell you to not miss it, especially around Christmas. It is decorated beautifully, and a site to see in itself. There is a water show in the very rear of the mall, and we were anxious to see it, however, that too, was not operating!
I would not consider walking off of the boardwalk for more than one block away from the ocean. It looks like it is a dangerous area to traverse. In Atlantic City, you have what is a nice looking area, then a very unattractive area, and then back to a nicer area.
In so far as the casinos go, I would not go for them alone. I would surely go into the Delaware, non-smoking casinos, which seem to be paying better. The slots in AC are very tight, and it seems the casinos are not very "giving" where the lounges and eating places are concerned. We enjoy listening to live music and having a few drinks, and we could not find any place, other that shows that were $30 and up. It just isn't like it used to be!
Thanks for reading our post!
