Exploring Atlantic City, New Jersey - Pt 1 | Where Is It Now?

In today's adventure, we're starting a multi-part exploration of the dying Atlantic City, New Jersey boardwalk area. In 2014, 4 of the city's 12 boardwalk casinos closed in 1 year. A year and a half later, a 5th one closed. As of 2023, only 3 have re-opened and in different stages of "open" as well. The city wants you to believe that it's on the rebound and is back and approaching better than ever, but I have a hard time believe that. Let's take a look and see what we can find.
