Atlantic City Casinos, Hotels and Beaches, Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey
Atlantic City is a resort city in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, known for its casinos, boardwalks, and beaches. In 2010, it had a population of 39,558. The city was incorporated on May 1, 1854, from portions of Egg Harbor Township and Galloway Township. It borders Absecon, Brigantine, Pleasantville, Ventnor City, West Atlantic City, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantic City inspired the American version of the board game Monopoly, especially the street names. Since 1921, Atlantic City has been the home of the Miss America pageant.
Atlantic City is considered the Gambling Capital of the East Coast, and currently has seven large casinos. In 2011, New Jersey's then 12 casinos employed approximately 33,000 employees, had 28.5 million visitors, made $3.3 billion in gaming revenue, and paid $278 million in taxes. They are regulated by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
In the wake of the United States' economic downturn and the legalization of gambling in adjacent and nearby states (including Delaware, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania), four casino closures took place in 2014: the Atlantic Club on January 13; the Showboat on August 31; the Revel, which was Atlantic City's second-newest casino, on September 2; and Trump Plaza, which originally opened in 1984, and was the poorest performing casino in the city, on September 16.
Executives at Trump Entertainment Resorts, whose sole remaining property at the time was the Trump Taj Mahal, said in 2013 that they were considering the option of selling the Taj and winding down and exiting the gaming and hotel business. Trump Taj Mahal closed October 10, 2016 after failing to come to terms with union workers.
Caesars Entertainment executives have been reconsidering the future of their three remaining Atlantic City properties (Bally's, Caesars and Harrah's), in the wake of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by the company's casino operating unit in January 2015.
The Atlantic City Boardwalk opened on June 26, 1870, a temporary structure erected for the summer season that was the first boardwalk in the United States.
The Boardwalk starts at Absecon Inlet in the north and runs along the beach south-west to the city limit 4 miles (6.4 km) away then continues 1 1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) into Ventnor City. Casinos and hotels front the boardwalk, as well as retail stores, restaurants, and amusements. Notable attractions include the Boardwalk Hall, House of Blues, and the Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum.

National Anthem | Restoration of the Largest Pipe Organ in the World | Boardwalk Hall Atlantic City
February of 2017 | Boardwalk Hall Auditorium Organ is the largest pipe organ in the world. It was built in the 1920s by the Midmer-Losh Organ Company.
You ask why such a massive pipe organ? Well in 1920 how would fill a building like this with sound? Amplified Sound was just in its infancy. To fill a building like this you would have to hire an orchestra. The argument was one organist would save money vs. hiring an orchestra. After the 1944 hurriance the pipe organ fell silent. Funds for its repair were used for repair of the public address system. The organ barely worked for years. When I played it in 2009 it barely did much of anything.
What is about to go back on line, that isn't playing is even more impressive. The quality of the work that I saw is 1st class. The group doing the work here is the same group that took the Wanamaker Organ from sounding awful, with just the string organ playing, to being magnificent! The Wanamaker Organ is the second largest pipe organ in the world.
Every six months we will go to Boardwalk Hall to document the restoration of the world's largest organ. This organ is not what anyone thinks. The sound of the organ is very classical, with principal choruses you can not believe! The sound of just 20% of the organ, without high pressure reeds is massive, massive like no organ I have heard ever heard in my life! Add that it is in a room that must be about the size of Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
There are opportunities to hear and play the organ today.
Help them do it! Join! Give! Spread IT!

AC in the Good Ole Days Pt 1
During the early part of the 20th century, Atlantic City went through a radical building boom. Many of the modest boarding houses that dotted the boardwalk were replaced with large hotels. Two of the city's most distinctive hotels were the Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel and the Traymore Hotel.
In 1903, Josiah White III bought a parcel of land near Ohio Avenue and the boardwalk and built the Queen Anne style Marlborough House. The hotel was a hit and, in 1905–06, he chose to expand the hotel and bought another parcel of land next door to his Marlborough House. In an effort to make his new hotel a source of conversation, White hired the architectural firm of Price and McLanahan. The firm made use of reinforced concrete, a new building material invented by Jean-Louis Lambot in 1848 (Joseph Monier received the patent in 1867). The hotel's Spanish and Moorish themes, capped off with its signature dome and chimneys, represented a step forward from other hotels that had a classically designed influence. White named the new hotel the Blenheim and merged the two hotels into the Marlborough-Blenheim. Bally's Atlantic City was later constructed at this location.
The Traymore Hotel was located at the corner of Illinois Avenue and the boardwalk. Begun in 1879 as a small boarding house, the hotel grew through a series of uncoordinated expansions. By 1914, the hotel's owner, Daniel White, taking a hint from the Marlborough-Blenheim, commissioned the firm of Price and McLanahan to build an even bigger hotel. Rising 16 stories, the tan brick and gold-capped hotel would become one of the city's best-known landmarks. The hotel made use of ocean-facing hotel rooms by jutting its wings farther from the main portion of the hotel along Pacific Avenue.
One by one, additional large hotels were constructed along the boardwalk, including the Brighton, Chelsea, Shelburne, Ambassador, Ritz Carlton, Mayflower, Madison House, and the Breakers. The Quaker-owned Chalfonte House, opened in 1868, and Haddon House, opened in 1869, flanked North Carolina Avenue at the beach end. Their original wood-frame structures would be enlarged, and even moved closer to the beach, over the years. The modern Chalfonte Hotel, eight stories tall, opened in 1904. The modern Haddon Hall was built in stages and was completed in 1929, at eleven stories. By this time, they were under the same ownership and merged into the Chalfonte-Haddon Hall Hotel, becoming the city's largest hotel with nearly 1,000 rooms. By 1930, the Claridge, the city's last large hotel before the casinos, opened its doors. The 400-room Claridge was built by a partnership that included renowned Philadelphia contractor John McShain. At 24 stories, it would become known as the Skyscraper By The Sea. The city became known as the The World's Playground.

Atlantic City Boardwalk Bowl - 1961 (PMC vs. Kings Point)
The first INDOOR Little Army - Navy Football Game was held inside of Convention Hall on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey on December 2, 1961. Pennsylvania Military College beat the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point) by a score of 35 to 14.
The annual contest between PMC and Kings Point ran for eight years, from fall 1960 until fall 1967. The first game was not played in Atlantic City, but outdoors at PMC's Memorial Stadium. Kings Point won 15-0.
In fall 1968, PMC played the U.S. Coast Guard Academy instead of Kings Point in the Boardwalk Bowl. In fall 1969 and fall 1970 PMC played Lebanon Valley in Convention Hall and the event was renamed the Atlantic City Classic.
Convention Hall is still operating, but is now known as Boardwalk Hall.
