back in time and stroll down one of
the most famous stretches of real
estate in the area: The Atlantic City
Boardwalk. Each year, millions of
feet, bikes, and those famous
“rolling chairs” have come across
these properly placed planks. In fact,
the rolling chairs, first introduced to
the Boardwalk in the 1876, still take
visitors on a reminiscent ride down
this significant stretch of history.
The first permanent Boardwalk was
built in 1870 as a way to keep sand
off of hotel carpets. Today, the
Boardwalk is more than four miles in
length and 60 feet across at its
widest points. The present
structure, which sits upon concrete
and steel pilings, is constructed out
of thousands of two-by-fours. And
due to increasing foot traffic, it’s
necessary to replace the boards
every 12 years.
Winning Hand
No visit to Atlantic City is complete
without seeing where the Miss
America Pageant got its start.
Each year, the nationally televised
competition unfolds in what was
once called Historic Boardwalk Hall.
Located just steps from Caesar’s
21
Hotel, this revered venue was home
to acts like The Beatles, Frank
Sinatra, Luciano Pavarotti, the
Rolling Stones and Louis Armstrong.
Today, thanks to a three-year, $90
million renovation this historic venue
is beautifully updated into a modern
special events arena capable of
seating up to 14,770 people and
now hosts acts like Lady Gaga, Elton
John, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul
McCartney. The hall’s façade also
doubles as the magnificent backdrop
for a luminous, 3-D light and sound
show held each and every night.
A crowd of tourists huddles along
the Boardwalk as night falls. Their
big dilemma requires a team meeting.
At hand, a major decision to be made.
Live music? Upscale dining? Sipping
champagne on the sand at Bungalow
Beach? Dancing? Taking in a comedy
act? Or casinos? Thanks to Atlantic
City’s decision to roll the dice
instead of rolling over, they can now
do them all – in one night. A seaside
town that was down on its luck took
the ultimate gamble by placing a big
wager on elegance, sophistication,
and luxury. And it paid off.
